I love feeding off the audience, and to me, what's the point if you're not going to think of the fans. Anyone can play music in their house, but you put it out because you want interact with your fans. And, as an artist, you get so much from your fans.

I spent a lot of my childhood in my own head, making up stories. I didn't have a lot of outside influences, so I was able to make my own decisions about what I wanted to do.

It's actually amazing because you go so far into another side of your brain when you're studying something completely different, and I loved it.

My dad's Irish music was such a huge influence.

Why don't I watch the ocean?My lover's gone.No earthly ships will ever bring him home againbring him home again.

Inside everybody's hiding something.

I thought it was strange that I was called after a woman who killed herself in ancient literature. You just don't call your kid Dido and send her to school. But it's great for me now. It's just another thing that makes me stand out.
