I could stand in the street and sing and get enough to pay the bills. I don't need millions of dollars.

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

There's a difference between, you know, God loves unconditionally in my feeling and religion loves conditionally. Religion spends an awful lot of time dictating who God can love and can't love.

People often talk about me as a singer, but they don't often talk about you when you're a woman as a songwriter.

I feel that I was a useful contributor to society, and that I couldn't be a contributor to society in any other way.

I suppose in some ways, all over the world "crazy" is a term of abuse and I think that is something that should be stopped. In Ireland "crazy" is a term of abuse and people are terrified of anything that they conceive to be crazy. And the people believed to be crazy won't be treated compassionately, they will treat you horribly and use it as a reason to dismiss anything you would think, do, say or feel, so you're rocking into a self esteem trap.

I've been married three times, really I should only have been married once.
