I Do A So-called Trip Into Myself:

My Influences Are With Irish Music, Church Music And Classical Music.

There's Something About Celtic Mythology Which Is Deep In The Soul, And I Just Think That Somehow She Has Tapped Right Into It.

I Told The Record Company I Didn't Feel The Need To Be At Red-carpet Events. I Wanted A Career. But I Wanted To Keep Myself Intact As A Person.

I Enjoyed The Two Years I Was With Clannad. I Enjoyed Touring. We Toured A Lot In Europe.

There Is No Formula To It Because Writing Every Song, For Me, Is A Little Journey. The First Note Has To Lift You And Make You Go, 'what's This?' You Play C, But Why Is It That One Day It Leads To G And It Didn't Yesterday? I Don't Know. It's Everything. It's The Walk You Take In The Morning, It's The Night Before, The Meeting With People, Landscapes, The Chats, All Of That Evolves In Some Way Into Melody, But I'm Not Sure How It's Going To Happen. I'm Dealing With The Unknown All The Time And That Is Exciting.
