Would you like some more tea with your sugar?

I can't read...whose writing is this? Oh, hang on, it's mine.

I am just vertically challenged.

It's like, 'I'm NOT in a bad mood.'

When I am described as pop's sexist woman I hope its not because people want to sleep with me.

Music is romantic enough for me.

Myself and Caroline kind of imagine ourselves in 10 years time, living together...

The next time I see that journalist I'll beat him around the head with my tin whistle!

This is the Joy Of Life...no it's not...

(at the start of Toss The Feathers): Are we ready to rock?!

Ooh! It's a photo of ME! You really think I want to see a picture of me?

Thank you for the carnations! Oh, the roses...

                    There's a lot of years between Jim and me, so he doesn't really feature much in my childhood memories. Apart from the bad smell coming from the other bedroom, that is...[she and Caroline crack up!]

I'm always getting lost...losing things...the others have to put a leash on me...

You're being a nice brother today. For a change.

(on fame, and screaming fans): I am getting used to this.

                This song I chose because it has a lot of memories! Um...it's "Alphabet Street" by Prince. Erm..I remember that our
            daddy confiscated my album, em, not because Prince was nude on the cover but because he heard me playing
                   another Prince album and the lyrics were even nastier! But he confiscated the wrong album and he only knows that now!

                  When I write a song with the family, the fact is that I am the 'little sister', and my Mammy is there and when it gets to
                 something like sex you start thinking 'oh, I'm not supposed to have these thoughts about sex!!'I remember when I first
                   wrote 'Runaway', with that silly line, 'make love to me through the night', and when I first sang it I was turning my face
               away, knowing my mother was going to say 'My God, where did you learn that?!' and then I'd say, 'from TV, Mammy!'

                   We're four cute angels and we never fight! Really, we have small fights every now and then, but we aren't beating each other up, yet!

                     Yes this is our first time. We were kind of surprised when we saw our fans at the airport to welcome us. We didn't have much make-up on, so I think they must be shocked too!

Interviewer: Another thing Andrea...why do you take your clothes off when you sing?
'Cos I get hot!

                 I think I am close to happy. There's a side of my life that I don't have which I suppose is love - love that isn't from my
                    family - but I have my own place now. I have a house in Dublin. I don't have tables and chairs yet but I have a beautiful piano..

                   Oh my God. When I got the part in The Commitments I thought I was very pretty, which was hilarious, checking my hair
                  and doing everything a 15-year-old would. Luckily my parents were there to protect me from the people I was drawing towards me without even knowing, I suddenly became aware of my body and men.

                   It's something that I did since I was a baby. So I've done it my whole life. I really never had a reason for giving it up and
                  my mother didn't make me stop. Also, sucking my thumb comforts me. It helps me fall asleep. If I get tired the first
                   thing I do is put my thumb in my mouth. But I don't think it's because I am insecure. It's just very comforting and I love it. I can't give it up.

Andy: Oh, my God! I've had people pull my thumb out of my mouth.
Interviewer: Try putting Tabasco sauce on your thumb. That usually does the trick.
Andy: Why? It's not like I want to stop.
Sharon: It's not like it's bad for you.
Andy: [laughs] Well actually, I have broken a few nails!

               No, no but I told you I need you to gush over me...y'see I'm very tender and sad and I need lots of love and adoration!

Interviewer: How the devil are you?
I'm a good devil, I'm very good, I'm fine.

Interviewer: What's your most unpleasant characteristic?
                  Andy: That I lose things all the time, it's a pain for other people. Something stops in my brain, a kind of malfunction. If you asked my brother he would say dizzy. He calls me 'Danger Dizzy'.

Interviewer: So it's not weird, to hang out with your brother and sisters?
Andy: Definitely weird!!

I was never meant for the violin! (hands it towards Sharon)

If Mammy had her way, we'd have long hair and thick eyebrows, and never shave our legs.

                   At the beginning I might have thought I wanted to express myself a little bit more and then, thought, 'Oh my God, there's my brother'!

To remain intact and happy. And ultimately to fall in love and have babies. Just like everybody else, really.

                  Oh, you're not going to do the whole nice thing, are you? Why do journalists always go for the same story. We're not being nice, we're just being honest.

                   I was 16 when I joined the band: I didn't know what I was getting into at all. It was just (puts on teeny voice) Okay, I'll do it!

Ahm, what can I say? I'm irresistible.

I was not meant for public transport.

Sibling quartet! I hate that.

I feel like a squashed pea.

Our parents locked us in the piano.
