I really like to have a bit of direction, you know?

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

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

And I've played piano since I was little, so I was originally the piano player in the band.

But I do have an idea in my head before I go in about what I'm going to do.

Our parents were musicians.

We go in and I do my thing, and then we supplement it with whatever we want.

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

There's actually 14 in our family, but we disowned the others.

Sharon went on to play classical but we actually went into totally different instruments which was lucky for the band because otherwise we'd all be playing the same thing!!

I really like to have a bit of direction, you know?

Well I had a musical background, but I still didn't know a lot about drums at the time.

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.

It's been crazy trying to tour with a baby. But it's actually working out okay.

Yes, we record practically everything on Pro Tools.

We've worked very hard as a band and would like to think we've got this far on the strength of our music.

Waking up with a bad head in the morning is difficult sometimes.

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

Yes, my mother was a singer, and my father played piano and keyboards. They were in a band together, though they also had regular jobs because they had kids and stuff like that.

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

We do it because we love to play music and that's what we're all about.

I'm not the hottest tuner on the planet, so I normally get someone to come out and do it for me.

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

I really didn't even have time to get that many lessons, to be honest, because I was suddenly on the road. I was kind of thrown in the deep end. But that wasn't a bad thing when I look back at it.

We play our Irish songs a bit more loosely.

I remember my first show was a live TV show in Ireland, and I was just petrified. It was horrific.

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!!!

I've always stayed pretty fit. I felt I needed to give myself energy by exercising and things like that.

Our parents were very strict. Not in a brutal or awful way, but there were definite rules, such as after six on a school night you didn't go out, and at weekends you had to be home by a certain time. It wasn't particularly sheltered, but we were well brought-up.

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

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

When I was drumming with Mick Fleetwood I thought I looked half mad. I thought I looked half crazy.

I want to thank all the fans for their support over the years. Keep supporting the Knicks, we're moving in the right direction here and we will be exciting to watch and competing against the best in the NBA. Come back to the Garden for those exciting games.

Then I decided I couldn't just crawl in the corner and die, so I started putting pen to paper and wrote some songs. I had no idea what for or who I was going to work with. I tried to find my way and direction.

The laws were not made so much for the direction of good men, as to circumscribe the bad.

The mind moves in the direction of our currently dominant thoughts.

Life is an operation which is done in a forward direction. One lives toward the future, because to live consists inexorably in doing, in each individual life making itself.

On one hand, to be able to go from one direction in the sky to study such an object to another direction to study another object, and on the other hand to be able to maintain accurately the position in space.

The more one listens to ordinary conversations the more apparent it becomes that the reasoning faculties of the brain take little part in the direction of the vocal organs.

Backward is just not a natural direction for Americans to look - historical ignorance remains a national characteristic.

I have thought about Happy Days made into a movie. As far as the original cast not being a part of it, wow, I don't know who could be who!I just don't see it going in that direction. I can see the original cast doing the movie very easily though.

But I try not to become preoccupied with that because with whatever direction I follow, with whatever advice I've followed or not followed, It's landed me in New York, in a very beautiful hotel, talking to people about something that I love. So I ain't that far off.

No one could understand the bond between me and my brother. I struggled to understand the forces that drove his soul in one direction and mine in another.

I am always more interested in performance and character depiction, and my direction says as much.

You've got to think about big things while you're doing small things, so that all the small things go in the right direction.

People, like sheep, tend to follow a leader - occasionally in the right direction.

The general knowledge of time on the island depends, curiously enough, on the direction of the wind.

I didn't know Albert back then - I just learned to play that way. He and I were the only guys that played left-handed. Then left-handed people came from every direction.

As the unity of the modern world becomes increasingly a technological rather than a social affair, the techniques of the arts provide the most valuable means of insight into the real direction of our own collective purposes.
