I told the record company I didn't feel the need to be at red-carpet events. I wanted a career. But I wanted to keep myself intact as a person.
My mouth is a womb. My teeth are my children. My tongue is their babysitter.
We called the album 'Amarantine' to mean everlasting. Poets use the word to describe an everlasting flower and I loved the image of that.
My first language is Gaelic.
I am not reclusive. I just have a private life.
It's very homely, this castle. It doesn't have huge ballrooms. I didn't want a cold, cavernous place.
