| Caroline Corr QUOTES / QUOTATIONS |
A lot of the songs are written on piano or guitar, so I contribute, and I have done so since the beginning. So it's been good to be involved completely musically as well.

Actually, I wear the nail polish to hide how grubby my nails are.

And I've played piano since I was little, so I was originally the piano player in the band.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
But I do have an idea in my head before I go in about what I'm going to do.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
I do like to look at female drummers, because I am one.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
I had a boyfriend who played drums, and he had a band room next door to where we were making our music at the time.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
I listened to a lot of bands that were happening at the time, but no one in particular.

I love Cindy Blackman, I think she's an amazing player. And she's got the whole image going. It's simple, nothing crazy, but she's just really solid.

I mean, y'know, platinum is different in every country, which can be confusing.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
I play to a click practically all of the time - on stage as well - except for the Irish songs.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
I really didn't even have time to get that many lessons, to be honest, because I was suddenly on the road. I was kind of thrown in the deep end. But that wasn't a bad thing when I look back at it.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
I really like to have a bit of direction, you know?
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
I remember my first show was a live TV show in Ireland, and I was just petrified. It was horrific.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
I used to play the piano in the band, and so there's some horrendous scenes of me playing the keyboards.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
I was just kind of doing my thing with the band and whatever fitted into our music.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
I would like not only to have a successful band, but I want to have children, a home, and a husband. Two or three. Children, not husbands!!!
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
I'm not the hottest tuner on the planet, so I normally get someone to come out and do it for me.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
I've always stayed pretty fit. I felt I needed to give myself energy by exercising and things like that.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
If you want to change a section, or move a section, Pro Tools is great for that.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
In Ireland, it's been like U2 and The Cranberries, which is rock, but you know they're Irish.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
It's been crazy trying to tour with a baby. But it's actually working out okay.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
Oh yeah, we all write. That's what's great about when you have basics in piano.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
Our parents were musicians.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
Our parents were very strict. Not in a brutal or awful way, but there were definite rules, such as after six on a school night you didn't go out, and at weekends you had to be home by a certain time. It wasn't particularly sheltered, but we were well brought-up.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
Sharon went on to play classical but we actually went into totally different instruments which was lucky for the band because otherwise we'd all be playing the same thing!!
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
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.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
There was no one in particular I really tried to copy.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
There's actually 14 in our family, but we disowned the others.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
This is kind of different for me, because percussion is not as demanding and I'm kind of supplementing the whole thing.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
Waking up with a bad head in the morning is difficult sometimes.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
We do it because we love to play music and that's what we're all about.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
We go in and I do my thing, and then we supplement it with whatever we want.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
We play our Irish songs a bit more loosely.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
We spent a long time on this album, so it was very creative in the sense that we had the time and the luxury to do whatever we wanted to do.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
We're lucky to have the family connection. We're close and close musically as well.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
We're not like, say, The Spice Girls. I'm not slagging them off as I think that they've got some great songs but they're more of an image band.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
We've worked very hard as a band and would like to think we've got this far on the strength of our music.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
Well I had a musical background, but I still didn't know a lot about drums at the time.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
When I was drumming with Mick Fleetwood I thought I looked half mad. I thought I looked half crazy.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
When you're the drummer in the band, you're doing so much more and you're constantly on. It's not like you can take a break.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
Yeah, we sit there eating breakfast, just glaring at each other, kind of daring anyone to speak... it's very good thinking time.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
Yes, my mother was a singer, and my father played piano and keyboards. They were in a band together, though they also had regular jobs because they had kids and stuff like that.
Quotation of Caroline Corr
|
Yes, we record practically everything on Pro Tools.
