It's a huge responsibility being a solo act.

With the war and everything that's going on, unless you're Susan Sarandon, the best route is to keep your mouth shut. For me it is, anyway!

I come from the tradition of a big Irish family that loves to sing. I love to perform.

When I first met him [David Beckham] I didn't know whether to shake his hand or lick his face.

It would be great to see somebody like Kid Rock kissing a man. But I'm sure that he wouldn't like the prospect of it put to him, and I won't even go there with Eminem.

People change. I wouldn't like to be accountable for the interviews I've done, or the person I was when I was 20, 21.
