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

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.

My first language is Gaelic.

The bright days of my youthThey were full of hopeThe great journey that was before me thenWas what was destined to be, bye bye.Now I'm sorrowful,The day is long past.Alas and woe, oh.

I am not reclusive. I just have a private life.

I don't have pets, I have two guard dogs; and I don't do my own shopping; it's a security thing.

I am really a very shy person. If I appear, it is because of the music, not because I want to be seen.
