Norman is invited to discuss his personal creativity as a teacher, writer, poet, musician, and comedian. He reflects on the varied influences of others, from backstreet singers to Billy Connolly, and discusses figures and trends in various art forms, and offers his opinions. He also recites a recently composed example of his own poetry, and other verses that have impressed him. In discussing how his bilingual background contributed to shaping his material, he also reflects on how commentators\u2019 propensity to place performers in pigeonholing categories could result in narrow or distorting descriptions of his work, for example as a \u201cGaelic comedian\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n
