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 think the consistency comes from the parts.

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.

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.

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

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.
