What I like about being a musician is that I find the thing soothing, but I also give the soothing to other people.

I feel that I was a useful contributor to society, and that I couldn't be a contributor to society in any other way.

I always feel there is a link between music and spirituality.

Protection of children from violence and abuse has always been my main activity or campaign.

Generally I don't listen to sad songs if I'm sad. I listen to happy songs.

Suicide doesn't solve your problems. It only makes them infinitely, un-countably worse.

I suppose in some ways, all over the world "crazy" is a term of abuse and I think that is something that should be stopped. In Ireland "crazy" is a term of abuse and people are terrified of anything that they conceive to be crazy. And the people believed to be crazy won't be treated compassionately, they will treat you horribly and use it as a reason to dismiss anything you would think, do, say or feel, so you're rocking into a self esteem trap.
