Anything Quote by Maria Doyle Kennedy

“I didn't go to drama school or anything, and I learned on the job. And it's nice to have the chance to pretend to be other people. As a singer, though, I feel there's much more of me in that. I've written the songs, I'm singing them, I'm exposing my feelings.” quote by Maria Doyle Kennedy
