A lot of the songs are written on piano or guitar, so I contribute, and I have done so since the beginning. So it's been good to be involved completely musically as well.

There was no one in particular I really tried to copy.

Yes, my mother was a singer, and my father played piano and keyboards. They were in a band together, though they also had regular jobs because they had kids and stuff like that.

And I've played piano since I was little, so I was originally the piano player in the band.

In Ireland, it's been like U2 and The Cranberries, which is rock, but you know they're Irish.

Waking up with a bad head in the morning is difficult sometimes.

I've always stayed pretty fit. I felt I needed to give myself energy by exercising and things like that.
