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 do not want a personal relationship with my fans. Or to do anything that encourages them to think they have one with me. They can have a personal relationship with my songs. That's fine, but they don't know me. ↗

I make the songs and part of making them is singing them. But what you hear is not me. It's the song. It's through me. ↗

Writing songs is a profession; so it's not an attempt to take things from my interactions with other people and for some reason give them to a total stranger to listen to. I find it offensive to hear other people do that. ↗

I write a lot of music in my time off and I compose most of the songs on guitar. I've actually gone into the studio and recorded a few things, but it's tough trying to sell a song. It's all about finding that hook, that melody. ↗

I do like to write nasty songs. It's a useful weapon to have, and it's cathartic as well, because I create art out of anger, something positive out of something negative. ↗

The movie business is very difficult but the music business is just impossible. So I'll play in bands and record and play songs with other people, but for me it's a form of expression that all I need is me. I don't need cameras or agents, I can just have a piano and sing and feel totally verified. ↗

If you look at the content of songs people write, it's usually about the things they know best. ↗

My music, my songs are 100 percent inspired by girl power. ↗

As a musician, you never understand why people connect with certain songs. ↗
