Sinead O'Connor: Being a pop star is almost like being in a type of prison

“I feel that having a No. 1 record derailed my career, and my tearing the photo put me back on the right track” - Sinead O'Connor writes in her memoir 'Remembering' about tearing up a photo of Pope John Paul II, which essentially killed her career. When she became a pop star - “the media was making me out to be crazy because I wasn’t acting like a pop star was supposed to act. It seems to me that being a pop star is almost like being in a type of prison. You have to be a good girl", she says to the New York Times in an interview.
