I'm 33 now, and having expressed a lot of stuff helped mellow me. The fact I did a lot of screaming and shouting was quite healthy and helpful. Now my reasons for writing songs are wanting to perhaps supply some nurturing, soothing or healing through music - provide little droplets of faith and courage through music. It was a symbol of tearing down of the church's secrets and lies. I'm very much a feminist.
Women can say that now without it meaning they hate men.
I adore men. I think there should also be a men's movement which is not anti-women. Last year, O' Connor was ordained as a priest in the Latin Tridentine Church, a splinter group of the Roman Catholic church. I feel a lot less now. There's a huge difference between 23 and 33.
