Brendan O'Connor · Glen Hansard Interview - February 14th 2026 · 29 Jul 2026 podcast

I get out of my own head.

I'm suddenly, I'm no longer, I don't feel insecure about it.

I just go.

I think I got that from your mother.

If I do, I can definitely go out and have a great night.

Now, drinking and all of that, as I've gotten older, that stuff has become... That's become much more anxiety-ridden and less crack and... The hangover, like... Oh, my God.

Can't do it anymore.

Just... Like, I'm not drinking right now.

If I go on tour, I don't drink because I just can't do it because the tour is over if I do.

Because then I go down into...

you know, anxiety and the dark, you know.

So I just can't get away from it.

Are you wary of drink as well because of your dad?

I mean, yeah, obviously, you know, and then on my mom's side, you know, there are drinkers.

But again, a lot of it was cultural and then some of it was actual addiction.

Yeah.

So, yeah, I'd be wary of it.

I'm wary of it as an Irish person.

I'm wary of it as a social person because there's a thing that happens and it's, you know, unfortunately it still happens where you go out and you'll order a Guinness zero and even the bartender might say to you, oh, come on.

I mean, and again, it's proximity to Grafton Street is what it's all about for me.
