So many people release albums before Christmas and they get lost in the Christmas rush.

I am itching like hell to play America because I know that if I did the show over there, they would love it.

We stay in U2's hotel. They bought a hotel, The Clarence, a nice place and it's in an area where everything's happening, so many fantastic restaurants and bars and the people are so friendly.

I love Tina Turner. I'm one of Tina Turner's biggest fans. Tina Turner was a big influence on me to become a singer. A role model and in a way she gave me back my confidence in choosing my material.

I've never taken drugs. My drug, I suppose, is drink. I never drink before I sing, but I do make up for it when I come off!

Fabulous place, Dublin is. The trouble is, you work hard and in Dublin you play hard as well.

Holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night!
