I'm not one for walking the beaches humming a melody. I love the discipline of sitting in the studio, writing and listening. That is my domain.

It's very homely, this castle. It doesn't have huge ballrooms. I didn't want a cold, cavernous place.

The spring, summer, is quite a hectic time for people in their lives, but then it comes to autumn, and to winter, and you can't but help think back to the year that was, and then hopefully looking forward to the year that is approaching.

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.

You know love is everything you say A whisper, a word Promises you give You feel it in the heartbeat of the day You know this is the way love is

Night has brought to those who sleep, only dreams they can not keep.

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