I have a short temper - I think it's part of the Celtic background. I used to be a lot more angry, but I was quite discreet with it.

Dad made me laugh a lot. He was a real comedian. He had a real sarcastic sense of humour, he could really make a fool out of people. I have to watch it a little bit, because I caught that habit from him. I was really fond of him. He was my idol.

A lot of people think that I grew up in recording studios and knew the whole process, but that was never the case.

People are generally badly advised when they're starting out in the creative field.

I'm not one for flings, I can tell you that.

Anyone must remember that dad left when I was 3 years old. Mom and I lived out of the limelight. We lived a totally different life.

Dad could talk about peace and love out loud to the world, but he could never show it to the people who supposedly meant the most to him: his wife and son. How can you talk about peace and love and have a family in bits and pieces - no communication, adultery, divorce? You can't do it, not if you're being true and honest with yourself.
