I would rather be having a burger and beers with my mates but I can’t do that when I know I’ve got to dance.

I’m proud of my Irish heritage and culture and this show will feature a lot of Irish dancing.

Whenever I hear, ‘It can’t be done,’ I know I’m close to success.

It’s like the voice. We don’t force a voice which we decide is lower than a lot of others, we teach it to sing in what we call their key, don’t we?

No no, we ALL teach each other, whether it’s dancing, whether it’s singing, whether it’s talking, we all listen to each other. That’s progress.

Well it, nothing is done easily, you first have the thing, then the thing has a success, then all sorts of difficulties arise through the success.

You can’t expect the press to stand still and not to want to change their minds, and develop something you and I haven’t noticed.
