"If I had gone to art college and everybody was being a conceptual artist, I probably would have want..." — Roisin Murphy

The Church controlled so much in Ireland for so long. I'm not going to get into whether or not religion per se is a bad thing, but my point is the political aspect in Ireland was way out of kilter, and it wasn't right.

With Moloko, we tried to be the opposite of what was out there at the time. I like to be different. In the mid-Nineties, music was quite dour and serious, and everything was dressed down. So we went the other way. Our first record was about not wanting to do four-to-the-floor dance music.

I love performance, but I'm quite happy making videos as well, and I'm inordinately happy writing songs.

I don't like to work with stylists - I find the relationship too intimidating - but I love fashion.
