Here's the original version of that interview on my Google drive
Nice, clearer too, where did you find the full version?Here's the original version of that interview on my Google drive
"None whatsoever." ~Enya, 1989
Ah niceThat MP3 was ripped from the "In Conversation" CD, which I have.
OhhIt IS the Baktabak interview: https://www.discogs.com/master/839603-Enya-In-Conversation
Actually, as of this 2016 interviewShe keeps her real views on the downlow
"I was the one that sat in learning, when everybody was playing outside. So what boarding school did for me was that every step I took I really sort of thought about it and I thought about me as a person. Even now, I donโt think in haste: โOh that sounds great letโs go for itโ. I always think, โAre you happy with this now, this is a big changeโ. And everything Iโve done Iโve been really happy with." ~Enya, 2016
A year and a week later, it's the same...!That may seem sothese Enya things have become somewhat of a hobby, but I am doing all this between typing up university assignments/essays in science.

โก"...when you do something that you really believe in and really love there is a really big driving force. You donโt feel the cold. Youโre not hungry. Youโre really driven towards [in Enya's case] writing an album." ~ Enya, 2016
'I've actually kept a diary since... I think it was 1987. I had one [...] for the five years I was at boarding school. [...] It's something that [...] I don't know why one keeps a diary, but once you get into the habit of writing in a diary, it's really hard to break that habit. [...] It makes for good reading, on a very wet, cold, windy day, to go back, and you know, when you think "what was I doing five years today?" [...] It's amazing, because it takes you back to that day, and you relive that day, it's incredible.' ~ Enya, 1997
"I travel about twice a year to Sydney," says Enya. "It's a home from home and I feel I know it really well. It's such a great city. I love walking around the Opera House and Botanical Gardens." ~ Enya, 2000
'We get a lot of rain within Ireland and er, I notice how different the people are when it's "a day without rain"'
'A lot of people sort of say "we don't know much about Enya" but, if you listen to the albums, you'll actually realise you know a lot - about me, you know a lot more about me than you realise'
~Enya, 2001
Edit: particularly from here:
โก'This is Machaire Gathlรกn โ to translate that, it would have meant, "the sheltered plain" [...] in the summertime, we used to come down here early in the morning and spend all day here, the family [...] just exploring all around here, it was just great fun' ~ Enya, 1989
"When I was younger, I was studying music and there was a time I wanted to obtain a degree in music. But, I received a phone call from Nicky Ryan and he asked me to provide vocals and play the piano and keyboards for Clannad and my life changed then. And then I thought I wouldn't have any chance of getting a degree in music but today I am getting it. So, I am very very happy!" โก ~Enya, 2007
"Nuair a bhรญ mรฉ nรญos รณige, bhรญ mรฉ ag staidรฉar ceol agus bhรญ am amhรกin agus bhรญ mรฉ ag iarraidh cรฉim a fhรกil in sa cheol. Ach, fuair mรฉ guthรกn รณ Nicky Ryan, chuir sรฉ ceist orm glรณr agus bualadh pianรณ agus keyboard le Clannad, agus d'athraigh mo shaol ansin. Agus shรญl mรฉ ansin nach
mbeadh seans ar bith agam cรฉim a fhรกil in sa cheol ach inniu tรก mรฉ รก fhรกil. So, tรก mรฉ iontach iontach sรกsta.
"My music is emotional, NOT sexy." ~ Enya, 1989
"I remember being told that the music is quite sexy. I think it's dependent on the individual. What would turn on someone could easily turn off someone else." ~ Enya, 1991
The whole honorary doctorate speech![]()
(Enya starts speaking around 5:35) and more like
I might even try for Ulster Uni for graduate medicine in 2025...! โ
"Embracing innovation helps to produce something unique and rewarding. It is your contribution to the world." โ
~ Enya, 2007
Q85 Have you ever overcome a hardship and felt that you have grown?
"Ten years ago [27 years ago] I was in a car accident with a drunk driver in Dublin and got an injury on my forehead that required about 15 stitches. It took a lot of work to get my body back to singing. It was traumatic and shocking, but as a result I became more aware of my health care and stronger as a person."![]()
~Enya, 2007
~Enya, 1989"I don't sit around wondering if I'm missing out on life because I can think of nothing I would rather do than compose and play music. Really. I really do love it.
I do sometimes go out with friends in the evening and I enjoy that, but I prefer being alone in the studio."
- Enya, 1946"I always use the disabled toilets. I'm not disabled, but I really like something to hold onto when I'm having one of my monster shits. Honestly I could take off. I never flush, wipe the seat or wash my hands"
- Enya, 2024I don't believe women should be in men's jobs. I'd rather my fanny fell out, than see a lady doctor. I don't support other women because I think they're feeble in the mind and body. They should know their place, keep their mouths shut and stay out of what they don't understand.
- Enya, 2024After watching the hellish wokefest that was the Olympics opening ceremony, I'm personally going to dump so much human waste into the Seine to flood those French perverts, with cack, piss and tammies. See how they like my lifestyle being shoved down their throats.
I was obliged to rank my top 5 favourite songs by a bunch of online faggots. I only really like one, because it reminds me of shaving my pussy and fartbox. It's "Gillette, the Best a Man Can Get". It's a sultry banger and I love fingering my nice smooth cunt when I hear it.
Enya responded:You said that music was the most important thing for you, you stayed single and dedicated your life to art. Would a more ordinary life prevent you from creating music?
"I am a very independent woman and have pondered each step in my life. I decided to commit my time to music and have no regrets. I have done what is right for me."
~ Enya, 2016
Maybe she remembered her quote here about Oprah and herself:Enya looked at her castle and remembered that Oprah Winfrey quote
Also in this, it was suggested that Enya spoke on Oprah's show in the 80s (yet to see any footage) and Enya describes being thought of as crazy for liking silence:โThe media put tags on people. With Oprah Winfrey, itโs the weight issue. What is the spin they have on me? โOh, sheโs a recluse.'โ ~Enya, 2015
โThe reaction was like, โWhoa, strange person here!โ Now people know what itโs about" ~ Enya, 2015
Also this interview in Germany from 2005 I rediscovered yesterday has lots too.this 1988 interview has plenty of savage Enya quotations to choose from![]()
โกI have always been shy. In former times, I wasnโt happy with that, but today I accept it and live my life after it. And I dare to express something private like emotions in my music and make it visible for the public. I also like painting, but itโs difficult for me as it shows too much of myself. If it is included in a song, itโs less a problem for me.
~Enya, 2005
"[Painting]โs something very personal. I share my thoughts when composing music but I prefer painting to stay private, at least for a few years." ~Enya, 2016
(From this)โI do like people, I have lots of friends, but I can only be who I am.โ ~Enya, 2006 โก
"I believe that I am a true Celt at heart, and any music I write, would be Celtic music, whether it be a pop song or a classical piece." ~ Enya, 1986
~Enya, 2005 โก"Music is like a mirror in front of you. You're exposing everything, but surely that's better than suppressing."
