I'm too much of a control freak.

I like being a strong, independent woman, and to be honest, I was never afraid to be on my own.

My dad's Irish music was such a huge influence.

In fact, I'd just like to own something. Everyone thinks I'm glamorous, rich and famous but all I've got is some recording equipment and a battered old BMW.

I always want to bring emotion across in a straightforward way. I don't want to get histrionic when I'm singing. For me that's just not interesting; it goes too far down one road.

The older you get, the more you realize you're drifting toward a direction, and sometimes your significant other drifts into an opposite direction. You can't blame anybody for it.

I really enjoy being single again. I spent a lot of time in a relationship and the nearer we came to the end, the more difficult it got. You don't see things clearly as long as you're still involved.

It's great to just disappear, grab a suitcase, switch the answering machine on and just go somewhere else.

Often, under the layers of our maturity is a child’s insecurity screaming for love and attention.

Nothing in the world matters if you don't matter.

To understand me, you have to meet me and be around me. And then only if I'm in a good mood - don't meet me in a bad mood.

When you look back on your life, it looks as though it were a plot, but when you are into it, it's a mess: just one surprise after another. Then, later, you see it was perfect.

Moreover, the human condition, if that is what it is, has been getting steadily worse in the Corporate State; more and more life-denying just as life should be opening up.

As an incarnation of love you put up with flack until it becomes detrimental to a person.

I don't think our death ray is working. I'm standing right in it, and I'm not dead yet.

I think everybody out there on the American team is out of their element. That's not an excuse. That's the way it is. It's early in the spring. A lot of guys are not as (locked-in) as they could be.
