Ireland sober is Ireland stiff.

Geographically Ireland is a medium-sized rural island that is slowly but steadily being consumed by sheep.

You're basing your laws and your whole outlook on natural life on mythology. It won't work. That's why you have all these problems in the world. Name them: India Pakistan Ireland. Name them-all these problems. They're all religious problems.

Home will always be Northern Ireland but my schedule means for the next few years I won't be there as much. I can't do the same things that I did a year ago. That is I'm something conscious of but I'm not sad about it. It's fine.

You pick up loads of baggage with your first record with reaction to it from fans and critics. So I went to Ireland by myself for a couple of weeks with my guitar. I read lots of poetry I read Patti Smith's autobiography and started words and phrases and then songs started to take shape.

Well I think it has always been a mistake to reduce the peace process in Ireland to a decommissioning process.

The need for peace in Northern Ireland goes well beyond political stability. It now speaks to regional Europe and even global stability.

I've only been to Ireland once and I felt I would wake up with voices in my head almost like music and that if I were a songwriter I would be very inspired.

Some mornings you wake up and think gee I look handsome today. Other days I think what am I doing in the movies? I wanna go back to Ireland and drive a forklift.

My mom she's from Ireland coached tennis in Nigeria when she was a missionary and turned me on to it when I was young.
