All of my life, actually, I had a real strong relationship with God, but I was always in the closet about it. The only distance out of the closet I really want to come there is having my tattoo or wearing my t-shirt.

That's my feeling - that real God and religion are two different things and that religion is trying to obscure what God really is.

When you live with the Devil you learn there's a God very quickly.

I have always had a good functioning in my artistic life, but I had problems mostly in my private life, I got very angry with my boyfriends and stuff...I would probably have good reasons to be angry but the volume would be too high, just getting to some level of wounding that perhaps was not appropriate to the actual offence committed.

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

As far as I'm concerned, I'm now in the business of making spiritual records and using my voice for that purpose. I'm not going to be singing songs that I made in the past. I closed the door on that incarnation of Sinead O'Connor.

I know that I have done many things to give you reason not to listen to me
