Suicide doesn't solve your problems. It only makes them infinitely, un-countably worse.

Unfortunately in my case, because of what I do for living, here in Ireland is very hard for me to find a doctor who can just deal with me as a person, that can get beyond Sinead O'Connor. I had to go to England to find a psychiatrist for my case.

I always feel there is a link between music and spirituality.

I love songs, and I love songwriting, and there's a standard of songwriting within Chicago blues in particular. I don't like the sad blues, necessarily; the Chicago blues is what I like, which is the kind of blues you can dance to.

I think in the first place hearing the music inside of you is very soothing, very comforting. For me there always been, if you like, a spiritual connection between myself and music.

People always complain, 'you never invited me to your wedding', but I prefer casual weddings.

Look at all our old men in pubs. Look at all our young people on drugs.
