I have three children to take care; I have a wife. My job is to take care of them, and I can say it's a pretty cool job to have.

The adrenaline of performing on stage to a crowd - there's nothing like it.

I'd like to keep singing - whether that's small or big. To stop singing for a living would break my heart.

Everybody, every tradesman that worked for Shafin or built my house got fully paid, well paid. Everybody got paid. I would like that to be said if I could because I haven't said it before, and it's important. People kind of think we left all these plumbers or electricians without getting paid.

My kids are Irish; I want them to grow up playing Gaelic football and learning Irish.

I think that lyrically, 'Safe' is a very positive song: it's very strong; it's about keeping somebody safe and protecting people. I think everybody anywhere in the world can relate to it. I think everybody wants to feel safe; everybody wants to feel protected.

You've got to go down the road you naturally go down, and for me it was pop, folk country, just feel-good music. I suppose most of my songs are very up-tempo.
