If you believe in what you do and you really want to be in music, just stick at it. It’s always a learning process. Enjoy it because I think making music is a privilege, really. In an ideal world, it should also always be fun. As much as possible, make it fun.

Kate Bush

Irish folk is probably the biggest influence musically that I’ve ever had. My mother’s Irish. And when I was very young, both my brothers were very into traditional music, English and Irish. They were always playing music, so I was always brought up with it.

I had friends but I was spending a great deal of my time alone and for me that was vital because there’s an awful lot you learn about yourself when you’re alone.

I think that music is something that surpasses trends, fashions; music is something much deeper.

I don’t really listen to a great deal of music. I love music, but since I spend a lot of time in the studio, we probably watch a movie rather than listen to albums. I get to hear stuff, but not on the grand scale.

I could find faults with all my albums because that’s just a part of being an artist – it’s hard being a human being, isn’t it?
