This much I know: Donal Lunny, Musician

The creative process can be like catching a loose thread. You have to pay attention. What may begin as the most trivial and insignificant idea can grow into something important and beautiful.

I enjoy being a public figure. It is very gratifying when someone thanks me for all the years of music. It happens to me quite a lot and it always touches me.

I adore Japan. My wife is Japanese and I have spent a lot of time there. It’s a highly evolved culture. They have a fantastic civic spirit. There are practically no vandalism, violent crime or drug problems. Even littering and road rage don’t exist. Of course Japanese society is not without its failings, but we could certainly learn a lot from some of their attitudes.
