I guess I'm a Holy Spirit maniac. I'm not a religious maniac. I love religion, but I don't like it.

What pisses me off is when I've got seven or eight record company fat pig men sitting there telling me what to wear.

I suppose the danger when you have a job that involves writing is you can be a bit isolated.

I don't want any man to have control over me.

When you have mental illness you don't have a plaster or a cast or a crutch, that let everyone know that you have the illness, so people expect the same of you as from anyone else and when you are different they give you a hard time and they think you're being difficult or they think you're being a pain in the ass and they're horrible to you. You spend your life in Ireland trying to hide that you have a mental illness.

God needs to get rescued from religious music.

What I hope is to really focus on being a songwriter. I'd love to write songs for other people; that's something I'd really like to start doing.
