Band Quotes

Caroline: That tour we did in early '97, we did like 4 continents in 3 weeks. We were so jet lagged that it all canceled
out. I am like an entire day behind.
Sharon: Then we fly HOME and mess it all up. I don't function well when I wake up at 4 am because every force in the Universe except for my clock is telling me it's 8 am, the day before!

On annoying habits...
Andrea: He snores.
Sharon: And is grumpy in the mornings.
Caroline: And is always last up.
Interviewer: Jim? You gonna take this?
Andrea: We don't have any annoying habits, apart from Caroline and her hair.
Sharon: We have to keep a leash on Andrea, label all her things. If she doesn't lose something on tour, she'll get lost herself.
Caroline: While we're doing his, Sharon can get really bossy if you've not picked up on that!
Jim: OK, here's one for all of you: I could really live without the bras all over the bathroom.

Andrea: Well we're good. But not that good!
Caroline: Speak for yourself! I'm an angel.

Andrea: We do live in each others' pockets a lot.
Sharon: Sometimes you wake up and instead of "good morning", all you want to say is "I'm so sick of the sight of you".
Caroline: Yeah, we sit there eating breakfast, just glaring at each other, kind of daring anyone to speak... it's very good thinking time.

Andrea: Oh, myself and Caroline kind of imagine ourselves in 10 years time, living together...
Caroline: The terrible two.
Bert: The mind boggles.

Interviewer: Do you ever get drunk?
Caroline: Waking up with a bad head in the morning is difficult sometimes.
Andrea: Caroline, you weren't worried about that the other night!
Caroline: Hey Andrea!!!!

Caroline: (on who is the boss when they compose the songs) The writing process could be anybody, it could be two at a time, it could be one of us or all together, it's very kind of diplomatic...
Jim: ...Democratic.
Caroline: Democratic, diplomatic, oh!!!

Caroline: If you notice our pattern, it's generally on your summer months that we are here (Australia)
Interviewer: Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!
Caroline: ...have you been to Ireland in winter? Have you been to Ireland in January?
Interviewer: No, I've been at good times.
Andrea: Yeah exactly, goof times! It would be a little bit depressing now as much as it is beautiful.
Caroline: It's frightening at winter! You don't want to be there!
Interviewer: So you guys come out here and go to Hamilton Island and do all that good stuff?
Caroline: Yap, yap!!

Interviewer: Ok, who plays the bodhran? Is that Caroline, is that yours?
Caroline: It's my job!
Interviewer: It's your job in the band...I noticed on Top Of the Pops by the way, that because your playing the drums, you're the only one who can't flick their hair!
Caroline: Exactly, yeah!!
Interviewer: Do you feel a bit left out by that?
Caroline: Yeah, I'm a girl and I need to be able to flick my hair every so often but I can't when I'm playing!

Interviewer: How come you all manage to keep yourselves looking so fresh? I mean, you all look like...(making sounds)..."ching!"
Caroline: Make-up!
Sharon (with a funny face): Make-up..
Interviewer: Oh come on! (Caroline laughs out loud)

Caroline: I'm Caroline, the middle one.
Interviewer: How can you be the middle of four?
Sharon: I don't know, cos that would also make me the middle one.
Caroline: (laughs) Oh, yeah, that's true!

"I like black. It creates an...atmosphere..." - Andrea
"Of death!!!" - Caroline

Andrea: Honestly, I don't know what I'm thinking sometimes, when I'm writing songs. Take Forgiven, Not Forgotten, for
instance. Why would I write a line like (said cautiously) "I'll remain"? I can't even pronounce it without getting all
tongue tied, and I end up having to perform it a hundred times...I can't even say it!
Caroline: It's very funny really, the number of times she's stumbled over that line.
Jim: What line?
Caroline: Oh no, you're not getting me - leave this as just Andrea's embarrassment for now!
Andrea: You are too kind, dear sister!
Sharon: Watch it Caroline, she knows where you live! (All collapse into helpless laughter)

Sharon (On The Commitments): ...and Caroline...where were you again? (To interviewer) I can never find her!
Interviewer: Caroline, how's that? Your big movie debut and your own sister can't even find you.
Caroline: I can't even find me!

Interviewer: Who is the leader?
Caroline: I am the leader.
Jim: No, I am.
Sharon (to Jim): No, you are not.
Andrea: The truth is... It's me.

'Tis a mighty big gate for the house. - Andrea
It's open. Go for it John, speed! - Caroline

Radio announcer: OK, girls, before you leave, a quick ID for the station?
Andrea: Right, I'm Andrea,
Sharon: I'm Sharon,
Caroline: And I'm Caroline, and we are half of The Corrs.
Andrea: Because, as you know, we are a six piece band...
Caroline: Oh, there's three of us here! I didn't see that (after a half hour interview!) Shall we start again?
Radio Announcer: Live to air, go for it.
Caroline: Ok, well I'm Sh - no I'm not, I'm Caroline
Sharon: The 'middle one'
Caroline: Don't dwell on that!

Caroline: When I was drumming with Mick Fleetwood I thought I looked half mad. I thought I looked half crazy.
Sharon: I thought she looked half mad as well.

                   Caroline: I mean, y'know, platinum is different in every country, which can be confusing. At the moment I think we're
                     about 10 times at home, which is 150,000 records; amazing. And then they tell us we're just gone out 7th award in
                 Australia which we were really pleased with, and I just assumed it was the same as Ireland, and that'd be 7x15,000,
which is...
Andrea: 105,000.
                    Caroline: Right, but then they mention something about half a million, and I thought they were talking about world
                     wide or something, so I asked what they meant, and it actually turns out the Australian platinum is 70,000, and oh
my God that pretty much threw me off my feet!

                     Interviewer: Now you guys are in Singapore to record a music video called 'Dreams'. Er, why chose Singapore for this
video?
                     Caroline: Well it just happened that, em, we're here. And we came to Singapore and it seemed the obvious choice to
                       do it here. So we decided that we're gone do it in town...maybe in Chinatown, or a few other spots. (at this point, the
                     other 3 look at Caroline kind like 'you weren't supposed to say that!!', and Andrea gapes at Caroline, then at the audience)
Interviewer: Unconfirmed locations, may I add!
Sharon: Chinatown, unconfirmed...
Caroline: You know, I wasn't going to say when!
Interviewer: Chinatown, huh? Unconfirmed locations, unconfirmed...unconfirmed...
Sharon: Chinatown, unconfirmed...
                 Caroline: Oh!! Wait a minute, it's probably never going to be in Chinatown at all! Interviewer: It's NEVER going to be in Chinatown, you guys, it's never...
Andrea: That was such a good idea, Caroline, to give a false location.
Caroline: Yeah, that was good, wasn't it?
                    Interviewer: Eh, one thing I have to tell you guys...there aren't many couches in Chinatown, benches yes, but...but then again, it is not confirmed, Chinatown...
Caroline: Stop!

Interviewer: What is VB?
Sharon: Isn't that, like, vener-no, that's a D. I pass.
Caroline: Vic Bitter!
Andrea: Beer. Daddy likes his VB.

Interviewer: Being in a family also puts pay to any inter band romances, so how do these guys add that little bit of spice to their life on the road?
Jim: ...that would be telling.
Caroline: That's a "no-comment"!! (laughs)...that's a "no-comment"...
Andrea: And do y'know why that's a "no-comment"? Because it doesn't exist, that's why! So it's probably more intriguing not to say!!!
Jim: Speak for yourself! (laugh)
Andrea: Well, hey!! What were you doing...
Caroline: What were you doing when I was in Ireland?!?! (laugh)

Interviewer: Now my sister gives me the screaming heabies sometimes. Do you guys ever get like narky at each other?
Andrea: Oh yeah!
Caroline: Yeah!
Interviewer: Like what happens?
Caroline: Well, it could be over something like, really ridiculous, it could be something really, really small and it just turns into, ah, a huge ordeal or something like that...
Andrea: It is generally, it's generally out of irritation and tiredness...
Interviewer: Who cracks the poo the most? Jim?
Caroline: Pardon?
Interviewer: Who cracks a poo, like does...who gets the heabies the most?
Caroline: Narkiest?
Interviewer: Oh, that's Australian, sorry.

Interviewer: OK, The Corrs live on Radio 2 ~They play INLYA acoustically~ (laughter during the song)
Jim: (in a British accent) What happened there then?
Interviewer: We don't know! That's 'I Never Loved You Anyway': the fun mix!
Andrea: Without backing vocals at the end!
Caroline: That was me...I didn't come in on a backing vocal.
Interviewer: I wondered because Sharon was going like this to you, sort of beckoning you on, y'know?
Caroline: Yeah, I just decided to laugh then...y'know, there was nothing I could do!

Interviewer: Did any of you have to share a room?
                       Andrea: Caroline and I shared a bed and you wouldn't believe what she used to do. She'd make her side of the bed and leave mine unmade.
                     Caroline: You drove me to it! That was after months of frustration. Andrea's side of the room was like a tip and I had to
                    live in it. I couldn't get the door open for the mess! I was trying to make a point, but I guess I was being a bit of an idiot.
Andrea: I was actually a little worried about her sanity at the time!

Interviewer: Any strange habits when you were little?
Caroline: Andrea still sucks her thumb!
Andrea: I do, and the one I suck is smaller than the other! (Quickly flashes her thumbs and proves that this is really the case). But Caroline sniffs her jumper!
Caroline: Oh no! What on earth is that going to sound like? Let's not get into this! It's sort of like a comfort thing. I just pull the neck of my jumper up over my nose when I'm tired. It's not as crazy as it sounds!

In another interview...
Interviewer: Tell us a secret about each of you!
Sharon: None of us has stolen each other's boyfriends or anything scandalous like that, but Caroline sniffs her jumpers all the time.
Caroline: This is so embarrassing! I've been exposed as a secret jumper sniffer. It's like a comforter. I do it when I'm watching TV, but Andrea sucks her thumb - and in public!
