strong children believe
I am someone who really does believe very strongly in the Holy Spirit. I feel I'm someone who, since I was a very, very small child, of being engaged in a very strong relationship with the Holy Spirit.
children would-be wonderful
It should be a crime to abandon your child, and it's not. It would be wonderful if it could be criminalized.
children chaos my-children
They're my positive chaos, my children.
children abuse campaigns
Protection of children from violence and abuse has always been my main activity or campaign.
sex children school
We're exposing our minors to abuse by the fact that they leave the radio on in the car and let them listen to the news on the way to school. Or the fact that it's shown on the news, the children can see Gaddafi's face and his glorious Technicolor clothes getting shot off on the news or on the newspaper shelves. In the shelves of the shops where all the sex magazines are consciously put at the top, if they're consciously put at the top, that must mean the violence is all put at the bottom consciously.
running children news
What I'm interested in is the protection of children from violence, and they are exposed to violence every single day in the form of, as it's called, the news. Then you wonder why the children are running around, doing the things in the streets, doing the things that they've seen the adults doing in the so-called news.
jesus children names
My story is the story of countless millions of children whose families and nations were torn apart for money in the name of Jesus Christ.
children fire boss
If you were the boss of a company and some of the employees of your company were known to sexually abuse children, you would fire them instantly.
closed songs
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.
links spirituality feels
I always feel there is a link between music and spirituality.
artist voice musical
The irony is that musical artists have enormous public voices, but behind the scenes we're voiceless, actually.
jesus believe want
I don't want to go shoving what I believe down anyone's throat. Whatever I believe about Jesus is a personal thing, but it doesn't exclude all the others.
sex voice rocks
I suppose the biggest change to me is this kind of very oversexualizing of everything. Not that anyone wants to take the sex out of rock 'n' roll, you know - that would be ludicrous - but it seems that everything now, it's like the sexuality is the only voice; everything else is gone.
artist voice important
Irish artists have a tradition of being very heavily engaged in what is happening in their own society. So it was important that they had a voice.
