 Though I may be mistaken, I believe I heard an interview -- perhaps on
that  interview disk that was released again here in the u.s. with the
rubberband girl single -- in which kate said that touring takes so much
effort/work blah blah if it's going to be good, and of course she'd want
it to be good, and this would take years to plan, rehearse and execute,
which would take away from what she considers her main goal -- writing and
recording.  -- steve
