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

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.

Great success in examinations does naturally not as a rule go with originality of thought.

I had a wonderful time with the Stones but after 31 years, I thought it was time to move on.

I've always thought John Travolta is one of the greatest movie stars Hollywood has ever produced.

I never not wanted to be a singer. Since I was 3, I knew this was what I wanted to do. Well, I can't say I wanted to do it, but I fantasized and thought about it all the time. I never thought it would actually happen.

I wish I knew at 14 not to put much thought into what other people my age said to me, cause we were all looking for the answers. So I wish I knew that other people really don't know any more than you do!

Disney had such a hold on the mind of America-they were Adolf Hitler. The whole country thought Disney was some sort of god and that animation was some sort of pure thing for children.

I think that the quality of all bands is steadily improving and it is a pleasant thought to me that perhaps the efforts of Sousa's Band have quickened that interest and improved that quality.

The reason it has relevance is because I, as a popular Arab personality - the Arab people like me and respect me - thought it was time for me to make an ever so tiny statement about what I thought about this whole thing.

We thought it would be fun to try to design a show that would work well internationally and so that' s what we're intending to do with Fraggle Rock, and we are indeed now selling it around the world.

I got confused. I thought it was a K.Y. scare, so I bought 2000 jars of personal lubricant. I still have some.

I knew that my staying up would not change the election result if I were defeated, while if elected I had a hard day ahead of me. So I thought a night's rest was best in any event.

If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought.

To me, a feminist belongs in the same category as a humanist or an advocate for human rights. I don't see why someone who's a feminist should be thought of differently.

I think it would have been a lot better for him to say, I did it and I'm sorry, McGwire was never one to show a lot of emotion on the field, not a player who sought attention and craved to be thought of as a nice guy.

I wouldn't have thought of myself as a person who could guide anybody and then it turned out that I can.

A thought often makes us hotter than a fire.

It was pretty extensive - we worked out 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 3 months, which I think is more than anybody in the Olympics. I thought well I don't need this, the girls need it, but it was a gift.
