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.

Fame and success are very different things.

There's something about Celtic mythology which is deep in the soul, and I just think that somehow she has tapped right into it.

I am really a very shy person. If I appear, it is because of the music, not because I want to be seen.

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

My first language is Gaelic.

My core beliefs revolve around the idea that we should live to the best of our abilities-we should live and let live.
