It's great to go on your own and discover new things just for yourself, to meet new people and all that. If you're all on your own, then there is nobody there to guide you and you have to make all the decisions for yourself. It's quite liberating in a way.

To me, there's nothing worse than going to a concert and you're so looking forward to hearing your favorite song and they never play it. You're gutted.

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.

Looking back, I think that's why I did music. I'd get home from school and the house would be so quiet.

I'm too much of a control freak.

It's all right to make mistakes, you're only humanInside everybody's hiding something.

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