There is no formula to it because writing every song, for me, is a little journey. The first note has to lift you and make you go, 'What's this?' You play C, but why is it that one day it leads to G and it didn't yesterday? I don't know. It's everything. It's the walk you take in the morning, it's the night before, the meeting with people, landscapes, the chats, all of that evolves in some way into melody, but I'm not sure how it's going to happen. I'm dealing with the unknown all the time and that is exciting.

Look to love and you may dream, and if it should leave then give it wings. But if a love is meant to be, hope is home and the heart is free.

I do promotion when it is necessary, but I always want to get back to the music.

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

Fame and success are very different things.

The moon upon the ocean is swept around in motion, but without ever knowing.

My core beliefs revolve around the idea that we should live to the best of our abilities-we should live and let live.
