Dolores on Catholicism and church:
-"I was never like: 'Hello, I'm a Catholic and I'm into Jesus Christ and john and all the boys,' you know. When I was a teenager I was, like,falling asleep in church, but when it came to the hymns, then I was like yes!,because I loved the hymns, the Gregorian hymns", "Oh, great tunes. That's definitely where rock'n'roll came from!"
-"I suppose being brought up a Catholic was good, as opposed to having a mother into voodoo or black magic or something. It could be worse."
-"The Catholic church does, for some people, leave lots of scars. And I have to say I didn't come out smiling from my Catholic childhood. I had lots of problems, you know, lots of hang-ups. But you get over it and get on with life. Whatever was good, take that with you. Whatever was bad, get over it, get it out of your head, leave it behind. And that's what I think I did. I don't go to church very much any more, you know."
Dolores on “No Need To Argue” album (an album reflecting her doomed relationship with an Irish musician called Make O’ Mahony):
-"it's about the changes I've been through”
-"I ran away from home and moved in with him, but the more successful I became, the more domineering he became and then physical violence stopped the relationship. It took me a year to get out because there was a lot of reverse psychology involved. There was this whole bit about: 'You're going to leave me now you are famous.' The more successful I got, the worse it became. I was scared. I was really frightened."
-"A career like this - you don't go to university, you don't get a degree. It's no normal job. So basically, it's really all down to luck, we had a lot of success with the first album - and we were very young. And we felt the pressure to go back and record a second album, which we did - and we recorded a better album according to people "out there" because we sold twice as many albums as the first one. But instead of feeling accomplished, we just received more pressure. And the centre of our lives changed completely - 150 million per cent."
-"Everybody else would be out in the front of the tour bus, but I would be in the back, trying to protect my singing voice, I wrote all these songs about my life back in Limerick, and how much I missed my parents, that's what Ode to My Family is about. The only song on the album that reflects my new married life is 'Dreaming my Dreams'."
-"I think these songs have a strong confrontational feeling to them. A lot went down with the band since the first album, and a lot went down with me personally, and I think that's reflected in these songs. I couldn't really enjoy the success of the first album, because while it was happening I was having quite a bad time personally. I was really unhappy for a long time, but I didn't really have the courage to face up to the situation. I was really confused for a long time, but eventually I sorted things out. These songs come out of a period in my life that I'd like to forget, but I don't mind singing about it."
