Caroline Corr of The Corrs | Little Drummer Girl

Quotes

|| Caroline talks about family (what she wants): A husband and children. Two or three. Children, not husbands!

|| (On fighting)
Andrea: ...we fight each other over stupid things.

Andrea: (in the background) He just can't leave it alone...

Andrea: Oh, Zac's so cute! You just want to give him a big hug!
Caroline: He's also taller than her, you know!
Sharon: I think they've done well. I mean they're so young and so talented.
Caroline: I'd rarely even seen a drum-kit when I was 12!
Interviewer: Are you glad you waited til Andrea finished school, or do you think you should've started at that age?
Caroline: Well, let's see. We'll make Andrea 12, I'd be 13, and Sharon was 16...I don't think it would've worked at that age! She (points to Andrea) was too into her hair!
Andrea: No one can say that being the baby of the family cushions you from comments like that!
Sharon: Our hair is the same length as theirs anyway! (other 2 look at her like 'what!?!')
Sharon: Just drawing comparisons. There's also three of them and...oh yeah, four of us.
Andrea: I'd like to see the big one on a violin. (she and Caroline collapse laughing)
Sharon: I'd like to see Andrea on the drums!
Interviewer: Girls! Play nice! Or I'll compare you to Noel and Liam!
Caroline: That's those two! (referring to Andrea and Sharon)
(Sharon and Andrea both yell something indignantly)
Interviewer: Happy families here, folks!
Andrea: We all have one sharp knife, remember Caroline!
Sharon: And a few baseball bats!!
Caroline: See what I mean!
Interviewer: The squabbling Corrs, here on my show folks! Now kiss and make up girls, and let us go to a break.
[Andrea and Sharon pretend to punch Caroline but end up in a huge 3-way hug. At this point, Caroline pulls Sharon's cap down over her eyes, and they all laugh. Just as the show's name flashes up and goes to commercials, Andrea throws her arms around Caroline and gives her a huge hug and a kiss on the cheek! Caroline looks very surprised.]

|| 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.

|| Interviewer: Who used to grass to your parents?
Caroline: Andrea used to snitch on me.
Andrea: You're making that up! What have you just done by answering that question? You've become a grass!

|| 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: Which is better: men in briefs or men in boxers?
Caroline: Men in boxers, definitely! I like how they shake a lot more.

|| Caroline: There were stages when it was very, very hard - times when it was very difficult to put aside the past, or issues that we might disagree on personally. We're very different and have different opinions and we have to take them on board. But we've got a lot better at that. I think we've matured, we're older I suppose and just brush off any side comments if there's a little bit of a dig. It's a very hard environment being together all the time. I think it's ridiculous. People must look at us and go 'this is insane, this family travelling around the world together!'.

|| Caroline: There's actually 14 in our family, but we disowned the others.

|| (On being close in ages and being thrown in the bath together when they were little)
Sharon: Yeah, unfortunately.
Jim: Oh, the girls were. [chuckling]
Sharon: You were in with me sometimes, oh, but we were very young.
Caroline: I'm glad I have no memory of this!!
Andrea: No, no, I was never in the bath with Jim, ever!!

|| Caroline: I can understand people getting heavily into drugs in the music industry. I used to not understand it but now I do. The lifestyle is so ridiculous. There's very little space for yourself so I think it's pure escapism when people get into drugs.

|| Interviewer: Would you ever record a song in Irish?
Caroline: Well, the only words we can remember are...not that radio friendly, so, ah, no!!
Int: You don't know much Gaelic?
Andrea: Just what we can remember from school. Yes, no, hello...
Jim: Kiss my arse
Sharon: Go and -..
Int: Ok, we get the point!
Sharon: I was just gonna say "shove it"!
Andrea: Sure you were, Sharon!

|| Interviewer: When you guys are touring do you sorta try to save a bit of money by sharing the same hotel room and stuff?
Caroline: No.
Interviewer: I mean you all have seen each other nude since you were kids, so it wouldn't really make much difference.
Caroline: Hey wait a minute! What kind of program is this? (laughs) What am I dealing with here? Uhm...[long pause], what is the question?
Interviewer: Do you all share the same hotel room to cut costs, love?
Caroline: Definitely not! If that was the case we would definitely murder each other on tour. Definitely!

|| Andrea: I like black. It creates an...atmosphere...
Caroline: Of death!!!

|| Interviewer: Any memorable fashion disasters from your childhood?
Sharon: I was majorly into flares and I had this one huge pair I'd wear with an Action Man jumper, which was nice!
Caroline: I had a phase where I'd only wear tracksuits, which was quite horrible!

|| Interviewer: Any confessions you'd like to get off your chests? Something mean you did when you were younger?
Sharon: Well, I did put a reall dirty old sock on Caroline's nose when she was sleeping. It was one of Jim's so it was lethal, but she still slept right through it!
Caroline: No way! I can't believe you did that! ( Cue light slapping and hystorical laughter....)

|| Interviewer: But, let's..let's have a little characteristic of your roles in your family; who's the spoiled one?
Caroline: Well, Andrea was the baby, so she was a lit' bit more spoiled than we were...when we were kids...OK...hahahaha

|| Interviewer: Now the first time you all appeared together in any public way was in the film the Commitments. You all got parts in it!
Sharon: We're still looking for some of us!
Caroline: We're still trying to find some of us in the actual movie, but Andrea definitely got a few lines! It's not that significant!

|| (On critism)
Caroline: People want to bring you up and then they want to bring you down, and you have to accept that.

|| (On In Blue)
Caroline: I think you hear the Irishness in a different way on this album. But we didn't want to bombard it. A lot of the songs on this album are pretty up and it just didn't work. We always try as much Irish stuff as possible - Sharon is there with the fiddle and Andrea with the tin whistle but if it doesn't work we just don't use it.

|| Andrea: We don't have any annoying habits apart from Caroline and her hair.
Caroline: And what am I, the buxom beauty?
Andrea: Well, we're good. But not that good!
Caroline: Speak for yourself. I'm an angel.

|| Interviewer: What's the most embarrassing thing that's happened to you recently?
Caroline: (Chuckling) Oh God... well, the other night, I practically fell over after standing on the side of my shoe. I was talking to some people I didn't know very well. (Puts on a husky voice.) As you can imagine, it was so embarrassing!

|| Interviewer: If you could be a superhero, what powers would you like to have?
Caroline: (After much tortured thought) I'd like to be able to transport myself home instantly. I'd be Teleporter Woman.

|| Caroline: We've worked very hard as a band and would like to think we've got this far on the strength of our music. I mean I don't get up every morning and look in the mirror and think: ëOh, aren't I gorgeous!' I mean if that's helped us then great, but we really try not to emphasize that aspect of the band.

|| Interviewer: I understand there are more bad habits, but this one I don't understand. I hope you can help me understand. What is "sniffing your jumper"? (Everyone laughs)
Caroline: Where do you get this information from? Interviewer: You'd be surprised!
Caroline: Oh, God! (laughing)
Interviewer: Sniffing your jumper?
Caroline: Do you know..hehehe...the way like when a kid has a favorite blanket that they carry around, like a comfort blanket?
Interviewer: Sure.
Caroline: Kind of same thing.
Interviewer: Uh huh.
Caroline: I cant believe I am even admitting this. (laughing)
