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

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

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 eat almost no lunch. I have a big dinner but I don't have a big lunch.

The concept of evolution postulates that living organisms have common roots, and in turn, the existence of common features is powerful support for the concept of evolution.

I am what I am, but I'm not a thief. And I'm not scandalous.

I think the older you are, the more you're going to cling to the printed word as being sacred.

There are people who are seekers and people who aren't.

The greatness of a man is measured by the way he treats the little man. Compassion for the weak is a sign of greatness.

When you play a character you have to ask yourself, 'Can I make sense of what's happening here? Is this authentic?'

Human nature doesn't change. When enough people are comfortable enough financially, there is going to be human nature that wants to spend more money on better quality and, to some degree, status symbols as well.

I was born to argue... I don't know why. I mean, from arguing with my teachers and, on occasions, my parents. I think I've mastered the art of argument at a fairly young age.

I love essays, but they're not always the best way to communicate to a larger audience.

You can certainly make the case that we're devolving, that it may already be too late to save the rain forests, let alone the planet.

I feel like if you enjoyed the 119 hours that precede the finale of 'Lost,' is that whole experience ruined by the fact that you might not agree with everything that we did in the finale? I would hope not! I would hope that you would appreciate the fact that you were entertained for 119 hours even if you didn't love the finale.

It's weird. Prior to having my first record, Corey Hart was just my name.

An inner process stands in need of outward criteria.

Politics is about the participation and engagement of the wider citizenry - to miss that point would doom us to irrelevance.

The ways of the gods are long, but in the end they are not without strength.

Players are artists who create their own reality within the game.
