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

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.

Your home should be your home. People shouldn't be allowed to use whatever crazy lenses they use to catch you waking up in the morning.

I grew up thinking that you were supposed to read and write all your waking hours.

Those who have compared our life to a dream were right... we were sleeping wake, and waking sleep.

Hope is the dream of a waking man.

In some parts of Ireland the sleep which knows no waking is always followed by a wake which knows no sleeping.

Only the dreamer shall understand realities, though in truth his dreaming must be not out of proportion to his waking.

We've got the wind at our back right now. Americans are waking up to the realities of their previous choices. We must keep America moving back to preeminence because our values and conservative ideas are the world's greatest hope.

My heart burnt within me with indignation and grief; we could think of nothing else. All night long we had only snatches of sleep, waking up perpetually to the sense of a great shock and grief. Every one is feeling the same. I never knew so universal a feeling.

These flowers, which were splendid and sprightly, waking in the dawn of the morning, in the evening will be a pitiful frivolity, sleeping in the cold night's arms.

Discrimination is a hellhound that gnaws at Negroes in every waking moment of their lives to remind them that the lie of their inferiority is accepted as truth in the society dominating them.

This terrifying world is not devoid of charms, of the mornings that make waking up worthwhile.

Dreaming is an act of pure imagination, attesting in all men a creative power, which if it were available in waking, would make every man a Dante or Shakespeare.

Hope is a waking dream.

No more waking up at noon, updating FC for an hour, and spending the rest of the day cashing FC checks and watching porn? It was a hard decision, but, like, I'm a man now.

Our dreams are firsthand creations, rather than residues of waking life. We have the capacity for infinite creativity; at least while dreaming, we partake of the power of the Spirit, the infinite Godhead that creates the cosmos.

The Beltway is waking up to the realities of Prsident Obam's budget plan, which taxes, spends, and borrows as far as the eye can see.

Life began with waking up and loving my mother's face.
