I tend to listen to the classical composers: Rachmaninov, Satie.

I have had death threats from people with fixations.

I told the record company I didn't feel the need to be at red-carpet events. I wanted a career. But I wanted to keep myself intact as a person.

I enjoyed the two years I was with Clannad. I enjoyed touring. We toured a lot in Europe.

People listen to the music and sense what it is about. Sometimes they know exactly what the songs are about, sometimes they interpret their own meaning to the music, and thats great when this happens because it shows its striking a chord.

There's something about Celtic mythology which is deep in the soul, and I just think that somehow she has tapped right into it.

A lot of people tend to think that because I need all this time on my own in the studio, that I need time on my own, period. And that's not really true.
