Roisin Murphy Quotes

I won't let anything destroy me.
I work extremely hard, but I love every minute of it. Although I couldn't work as hard if I felt there was a ceiling on anything. I spent £125,000 on four pictures for the sleeves for 'Overpowered,' and I loved spending it! It was like making a little movie.
I work with men a lot, and there's a yin and a yang that goes on when you work one guy and one girl. And there's things that I bring that they don't bring and things they bring and I don't bring.
If I had gone to art college and everybody was being a conceptual artist, I probably would have wanted to be a portrait or landscape painter.
If they were siblings, 'Hairless Toys' would be the nice child, and 'Take Her Up to Monto' is more of a problem child.

I'm brave and fearless when I'm performing, but in real life, I'm actually quite prudish.
I'm not someone to sit on her laurels.
I'm proud that I've even had a career, but 'proud' isn't the first word I'd use. I feel lucky that I moved to Manchester when I was 12 because I don't think I could have done this in Ireland. And I feel lucky that the government took care of me from the age of 16 to when I signed my first record deal at 19.
I'm quite drawn to women artists who use themselves in their work. There is a very feminine point of view, the use of female archetypes. I love artists who play with those kind of things genuinely.
I'm really into architecture, I'm a member of the Brutalist Appreciation Society; I'm a member of the Postmodern Society. I write letters to save buildings.
Ireland is a great place to be odd.
It all started with music for me. Everything still does.
It's a natural disposition for me to become muse-like in a relationship.
It's not nice to be called a nutter, because it dismisses the input I've had into my own destiny over the years.
I've always been attracted to weirdos.
I've got crap teeth, crap hair. I never have facials. I still have hairs in the middle of my eyebrows.
I've not got any terrible stories of what I had to do to scrabble my way to the top, obviously, because I didn't scrabble my way to the top. I just scrabbled my way to the middle!
I've only ever had surprises. My whole career's a surprise!
I've seen massive changes in Ireland in my lifetime.
