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

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.

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

I love the idea of birds having human qualities...I think all humans want to be birds so we can fly.

It's not that I literally believe in magic or spirits. In my logical life I absolutely don't believe in any kind of mumbo jumbo. But I do have this belief in the greater magic of the universe.

It's not a morbid thing, but I think I've never been afraid of death, which is maybe why I love writing about it.

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.
