Peter Chow from Brighton (UK) writes:

And now, faster than a very fast thing, comes a transcription of the 
interview with Kate from "Good Morning With Anne And Nick" broadcast 
in the UK on BBC1 on Friday 29/04/94...

Presented by Tania Bryer ("Good Morning" Showbiz Expert).

Nick: Let's talk Kate Bush

Tania: I knew you wanted to talk Kate Bush... Your a big fan.. So 
are a lot of people. We don't see enough of Kate Bush, she hasn't 
toured for ages but anyway she had an album out last year (The Red 
Shoes) and now she's written, she's starring in and directing a film 
based on six tracks from 'Red Shoes' and this is her debut directing 
and acting [no it isn't - Peter] and is about a 40 minute film - we 
went to a special preview; let's have a look at Kate.

Cross, And The Curve']

Tania: It's 16 years since Kate Bush's first ever single, 'Wuthering 
Heights' went to No. 1. Her theatrical image has so far been 
confined to a few stage shows and her excellent videos but now she 
has directed a movie, 'The Line, The Cross, And The Curve'...

Kate: I suppose really when the album was finished I was aware that 
I was going to have to make some videos for singles that would be 
released and that to make a film that was... maybe half an 
hour/ 40 minutes long would be a way of making a more complete 
statement.

Tania: Kate's problem was that the album had no common theme so what 
*would* be the film's story? Then she realized; The shoes *were* the 
story. Despite having written lyrics for over 20 hits, Kate found 
writing the script very difficult.

Kate: I have a very great curiosity for words; I think there *is* a 
word for everything. It's a great gift to be very eloquent but the 
only dialogue that I've ever been involved in is in this film.

Curve']

Tania: Kate was delighted when award-winning actress, Mirranda 
Richardson, agreed to play the lead role in the film.

Kate: There are area where there sould have been more dialogue; I 
would have liked that but we just didn't have the time to develop 
the story any more but really one of the scenes that I think I'm the 
most proud of int the film is Mirranda's entrance into the room and 
the dialogue that in a way sets up the whole story.

from 'The Line, The Cross, And The Curve'] 

Tania: Kate's first 40 minute short is an impressive debut as 
director but if her movie-making career takes off, her fans are 
likely to see *less* of her rather than more.

Kate: In this particular film I took on the role as the singer and I 
think in some ways by doing that I took on a bit too much. If I was 
to make a film, I wouldn't want to be in it so much, just maybe a 
tiny bit.

End.
