A lot of what I listened to growing up was blues, but also folk and indie music. So there's this marriage of songs that structurally are quite bluesy. Sound-wise, there's a lot of indie as well. But you can't really say I'm pop-blues, because that's insulting to blues. It just can't exist.
Lately, I've been listening to some jazz albums. I love the new Pat Metheny album. John Coltrane. I still like good metal, though!
Growing up in Ireland, there are a lot of aspects of God that hang in the air. And my music reflects that.
My dad was a blues musician around Dublin when I was a baby, so the only music I would listen to growing up was John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters. It's music that feels like home to me.
I had a really bad temper, when I was growing up. Sport helped me channel that temper into more positive acts.
I didn't really grow up listening to blues, because I grew up in the Northwest. It wasn't really the center for blues.
I am still into the people I listened to growing up, so I completely remember what is like to be a fan, I haven't changed.
I wish I had been home more when the children were growing up. I missed a lot.
Before 'Austenland,' I got do a lead role in 'Northanger Abbey', which is Jane Austen. Growing up in England, you can't really ignore Jane Austen. It's always been there.
