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

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

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.

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.

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.

I could have been more famous if I did all the glitzy things, but celebrity always seemed so unnecessary.

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