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.

With my music, I can express myself so much. A lot of the fans can sense that I'm relating to them something that's quite personal.

Singing in Gaelic is very, very natural to do. I think lends itself very much so to being sung.

I think they find it - they find me quite confusing, because - they know the music, but they don't know anything about me because I keep a very private lifestyle so they end up making up stories as such. But I don't really concern myself too much about them.

I didn't expect such a huge reaction, but I knew I was doing something different to everything else that was happening at the time.

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.

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