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

I didn't expect such a huge reaction, but I knew I was doing something different to everything else that was happening at the time.

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.

I have had death threats from people with fixations.

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

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.

My mouth is a womb. My teeth are my children. My tongue is their babysitter.
