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.

My first language is Gaelic.

Hope has a place in a lover's heart.

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

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

Music is like a mirror in front of you. You're exposing everything, but surely that's better than suppressing. You have to dig deep and that can be hard for anybody, no matter what profession. I feel that I need to actually push myself to the limit to feel happy with the end result.

Over in the UK, the music press can be brutal. They can say wonderful things about you one week, and the next week, you're in the can.
