Caroline Corr Quotations

Read about Caroline Corr quotation, celebrity comments, and quotes.

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.
But I do have an idea in my head before I go in about what I'm going to do.
I do like to look at female drummers, because I am one.
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.
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.
I play to a click practically all of the time - on stage as well - except for the Irish songs.
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.
I really like to have a bit of direction, you know?
I remember my first show was a live TV show in Ireland, and I was just petrified. It was horrific.
I used to play the piano in the band, and so there's some horrendous scenes of me playing the keyboards.
I was just kind of doing my thing with the band and whatever fitted into our music.
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!!!
I'm not the hottest tuner on the planet, so I normally get someone to come out and do it for me.
I've always stayed pretty fit. I felt I needed to give myself energy by exercising and things like that.
If you want to change a section, or move a section, Pro Tools is great for that.
In Ireland, it's been like U2 and The Cranberries, which is rock, but you know they're Irish.
It's been crazy trying to tour with a baby. But it's actually working out okay.
Oh yeah, we all write. That's what's great about when you have basics in piano.
Our parents were musicians.
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.
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!!
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.
There was no one in particular I really tried to copy.
There's actually 14 in our family, but we disowned the others.
This is kind of different for me, because percussion is not as demanding and I'm kind of supplementing the whole thing.
Waking up with a bad head in the morning is difficult sometimes.
We do it because we love to play music and that's what we're all about.
We go in and I do my thing, and then we supplement it with whatever we want.
We play our Irish songs a bit more loosely.
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.
We're lucky to have the family connection. We're close and close musically as well.
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.
We've worked very hard as a band and would like to think we've got this far on the strength of our music.
Well I had a musical background, but I still didn't know a lot about drums at the time.
When I was drumming with Mick Fleetwood I thought I looked half mad. I thought I looked half crazy.
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.
Yeah, we sit there eating breakfast, just glaring at each other, kind of daring anyone to speak... it's very good thinking time.
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.
Yes, we record practically everything on Pro Tools.
