I really am planning on living to be 100. People ask, "Why are you so depressed?" I'm actually a very happy person.

My relationship to all my family in Ireland is more to family as a whole. It wasn't that we had a very specific one-on-one relationship.

I've always been fascinated by flight and the freeness of birds.

Same if you had a bad show, it just rolls off you more easily.

Performing alone - it's a very solitary experience. When you're in a band, when something amazing happens on stage you can look at each other, "Yeah! we're so locked in." Or if something goes wrong, you can look at each other and shrug and say, "Oops." If you're doing it by yourself, you reflect on it in a completely different way.

Maybe when I die and I'm thrown overboard, I'll turn into a mermaid.

When I sang the line, 'Songs about Old Ireland.Songs about being young again.I wish I was young again,' twice people cried. I saw them.
