When I do get the chance I just love to hang around at home with friends and family.

I used to get stressed out, but my cancer has put everything into perspective.

I need to keep traveling, being a gypsy, having experiences and writing about them.

I like to go into a little shell and be a hermit and make music for a while.

I'd just love magic. I'd love to be able to just click and transport. I'd be like a fairy little godmother, I think, going round hearing what people wish for and seeing what I could do for them.

I believe the impossible is possible to overcome I believe in miracles Born from love in everyone

Life is a journey I don't have a map for.

I have weathered many different storms and I know who I am and my friends know who I really am.

I started performing at school and drama classes when I was 7.

Everything was going for me, I didn't even know the meaning of the word insecurity and suddenly I am surrounded by words like operation, cancer, chemotherapy, radiation.

I want to sing for people. I want them to have the music. It's a nice feeling.

There is no language like the Irish for soothing and quieting.

History is sinking and only a very few seem dimly aware that things are getting bad.

Resentment is the most precious flower of poverty.

What makes false reckoning, as regards gratitude, is that the pride of the giver and the receiver cannot agree as to the value of the benefit.

Aptitude starts with attitude.

In an era of magic conveniently available at the touch of a button, new music should on principle represent something akin to 'danger'.

I loved the logistical reality of a guy who wants to take over the world, yet who has a family too.

For a painter as abstract as myself, the collages offer a way of incorporating bits of the everyday world into pictures.

Chance is as relentless as necessity.

The little time that remains between this moment and our death, should quicken our diligence to inherit the endless and unchangeable eternity of God.
