My music confuses people because they think I will sound a certain way because I look a certain way with the dreads.
Every writer writes in different ways, and so some write the music first, while others write the lyrics first, and some write while they are doing other things, and it is just nice to see how other writers are writing.
When you listen to my music, you hear that there are all these voices going on in different parts of the song. That's because I was always around so many voices in church.
I feel like I'd have a different approach to football now after doing music.
I always dreamed of being Maria in The Sound of Music.
I've never been in the music industry, only acting.
I listen to all kinds of music, honestly.

Someone's career that I admire would have to be Justin Timberlake's because he started off on Disney and he made this huge film career and huge solo music career. I really respect him as an artist.

I personally do not listen to a lot of music. It helps keep my mind free. I don't want to sound like someone else from the get-go. I want to express myself and the world in my head.
I don't think my vocals demand effects. I like reverb to a certain extent, but I don't want to hide my voice. I like stripped-down vocals, but I also like crazy, powerful, doubled vocals like in dance or electronic music.

I think Paul McGuinness and U2 created the Irish music industry. It certainly wasn't there before that.
