There's nothing in the recent past I want to write about.

There's nothing in the recent past I want to write about.

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.

When I sing, it's the most solitary state: just me, and the microphone, and the holy spirit. It's not about notes or scales, it's all about emotion.

I don't want any man to have control over me.

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.
