I absolutely love Ireland. It's one of the most beautiful places on Earth, and I have strong ties here. Both my grandmothers are from Ireland, and I have spent every summer in Bantry since my father, who is an artist, had the romantic idea 20 years ago to buy an old farmhouse on the west coast and renovate it.

I love Ireland. I feel very at peace there. It's just magical and beautiful.

I loved the energy of Dublin and the fact that it's so close to the sea, with beauty spots such as Howth so close to hand.

I love to go to Ireland just to relax.

I sure love Ireland. The first trip I ever made was last year when I did this record in Dublin.

I love England though; I've been back a few times and just love it. My favorite thing to do there is going to museums and all the castles. Oh, and my husband and I went mountain biking across England on our honeymoon!

The truth is that I am in love with Dublin. I think it is the most beautiful town that I have ever seen, mountains at the back and the sea in front, and long roads winding through decaying suburbs and beautiful woods.

I feel warm toward my Irish side, but I don't know the country or the people. Hearing a traditional Irish fiddle, I feel very connected to Ireland, but that's a nostalgia many people feel who aren't Irish at all.

We share a wonderful, I think, physical or geographical heritage.

I was happy in Dublin because it is very cosmopolitan.
