“As a kid in Africa, you were so connected to nature itself because you went farming, watched the moon out at night, observed how the sky was different, and how the birds chanted different songs in the evening and the morning.”

“A lot of people, when they say 'forgive and forget,' they think you completely wash your brain out and forget everything. That is not the concept.

“There is not one person going to a High Flying Birds gig or a Liam Gallagher gig that would not rather be at an Oasis gig.”

“In the countryside, you're always hearing sheep, birds, tractors and farm equipment.”

“I was brought up in the countryside in Ireland and would go bonkers if I couldn't escape the city. I like to wake and hear birds tweeting, not the low drone of traffic.”
