We play our Irish songs a bit more loosely.

Actually, I wear the nail polish to hide how grubby my nails are.

I mean, y'know, platinum is different in every country, which can be confusing.

In Ireland, it's been like U2 and The Cranberries, which is rock, but you know they're Irish.

Oh yeah, we all write. That's what's great about when you have basics in piano.

I would like not only to have a successful band, but I want to have children, a home, and a husband. Two or three. Children, not husbands!!!

A lot of the songs are written on piano or guitar, so I contribute, and I have done so since the beginning. So it's been good to be involved completely musically as well.

I listened to a lot of bands that were happening at the time, but no one in particular.

I do like to look at female drummers, because I am one.

I used to play the piano in the band, and so there's some horrendous scenes of me playing the keyboards.

There was no one in particular I really tried to copy.

SEEK THE ADVENTURES OF THE HEART. THEY LEAD YOU TO ETERNAL BLISS!

That is the man you face. He has more honour and integrity than any man I have ever met. He is dedicated to his people and his country. And I am proud to have been his lover.

You want to put a band-aid on something that needs stitches.

The key thing about me is that I'm really not very interesting.

Do everything possible so that liberty is victorious over oppression, justice over injustice, love over hate.

Ian Baird is dashing around like a steam roller up front.

For poems are not words, after all, but fires for the cold, ropes let down to the lost, something as necessary as bread in the pockets of the hungry.

If there is a God, I don't think He would demand that anyone bow down or stand up to Him. I often have a suspicion that God is still trying to work things out and hasn't finished.

Sincerity that thinks it is the sole possessor of the truth is a deadlier sin than hypocrisy, which knows better.

Luck is merely an illusion, trusted by the ignorant and chased by the foolish.
