“When I got pregnant, I started singing again. It was my saving grace. ...” — Dolores O'Riordan Quote

“When I got pregnant, I started singing again. It was my saving grace. I literally mean having this amazing human life, and our relationship in the sense of mother and child, redeemed my soul.”

“When you're pregnant or living with an infant, there's a kind of sacredness around your body that affects everything you do.”

“There's no point in getting too worried about things, because life is too short.”

“Growing up, there was a lot of pressure for women to be good-looking, but my mum was very strict, and she didn't allow me to wear make-up. Looking back, it was good for me. It slowed me down from becoming an adult too quickly.”

“The first album didn't become successful until the second was practically written.”

“Luckily I don't have a sinful past, because there's nothing you can hide from your kids now.”

“The relationship you have with your mother is like nothing else. They do kind of know everything about you, even though they don't confront it. That is often a dynamic from childhood onwards. As a teenager, you want to be independent and do slightly furtive things.”

“I've never lived anywhere else in my life, I have a massive love-hate relationship with this city. I grew up in the western suburbs in the '80s and for everything we had to go to south Bombay - so you lived the whole city, in a sense.”

“For me, I've been very lucky because of my relationship with Ring of Honor. I'm very close with everyone there, and that includes the guys that negotiate the contracts.”

“I've never been comfortable being a pawn. I work with brands where I feel like I can have my say and companies that I'm proud to be in a relationship with. Partnerships take a lot of time. If I am going to put my name and my face and my energy behind something, I want it to be authentic.”

“Maybe the most that you can expect from a relationship that goes bad is to come out of it with a few good songs.”
