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.

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 influences are with Irish music, church music and classical music.

Night has brought to those who sleep, only dreams they can not keep.

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.

It's very homely, this castle. It doesn't have huge ballrooms. I didn't want a cold, cavernous place.
