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

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

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

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

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

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!!!

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.

We play our Irish songs a bit more loosely.

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

It would cost Americans their jobs when they have to compete with millions of more [immigrants] for scarce jobs.

I will forever stick up for Catholics and Christians in general. With a small number of very horrible exceptions, they do play by the rules.

I love indie record stores, man. I love anything that's about independence and preserving the brand of good music.
