You think the Welsh are friendly, but the Irish are fabulous.

Fabulous place, Dublin is. The trouble is, you work hard and in Dublin you play hard as well.

I've been successful, but I haven't had any unwanted attention. To be honest, I've never invited or courted attention. I think if you act normal, then people will treat you normally. If you go around with a big entourage all the time, you're not staying true to yourself.

I have never gone out of fashion. And do you know why? Because I never sought it. When you don't seek it, it's always with you.

I'm from an Irish Catholic family.

I collect traditional Aubusson tapestries that you can hang on a wall. The last lot I bought were from an antiques fair in London.
