Andrea Corr Quotations

Life takes its path and sometimes there are people to blame. Of course there are bad people in this world. Good, bad, it happens unfortunately. But in a way I think if there was more focus on the good, more good would happen.

I think paranormal experiences are very personal, again, if they are that. Yes, sometimes I've felt that some things I would personally believe enough for me to take action on it... like, you know, I felt something happen in a hotel once that made me never stay there again.

I didn't have a particular persona. I'm not Alice Cooper, you know?

People are so busy anyway they don't see you or recognise you in the street.

All I care is that my family, and my loved ones, understand me. Or that they understand me to a degree - I don't understand me very much. And I don't need the world to understand me. That is the most egocentric thing.

We're all the same. We all want the same thing in life. Everybody going around like ants and we all want the same thing. And it's not one queen. It's not one queen with the wings.

I love reality. I love the world. I love the smell of it. I love it.

Everybody gets too drunk sometimes; and even if everybody didn't, I have gotten too drunk sometimes. I haven't hurt anybody. In Ireland we drink a lot. It's part of our culture. I like drinking. I don't think it's a bad thing.

I love escaping into character. It's a chance to try on people that you wouldn't be brave or stupid enough to be in real life.

I go to churches to pray, but I don't go to mass.

You can't live in your own secluded world. If you're not on the Tube, on the bus doing normal things, how can you relate to people?

I hate people who splash their own pain on covers, like the whole world should hear about them. Why are we all supposed to be interested in one individual's suffering?

Everything is nicer if you feel you're in love.

Life does throw some hard stuff at you as you get older, much harder. But you are more able to deal with things.

Other people sing in the shower, but I don't.

Well, I did go to Irish dancing lessons as a kid, but I was slapped and never went again.

I love watching people, and that's what I do; just go for a walk at about 4 o'clock, and go down a busy street, where you see people coming out of school and you get a glimpse of their lives, what they're talking about.

I think everybody had difficulties with that dynamic, turning the family into a band and being constantly together. So everybody, as individuals. had things to sort out.

Musicians are probably the most uncomfortable people in themselves in the world. Happiness, I think, only exists when you're a child and once you go past 11, unfortunately it's gone.

Years go by and people are together, but there was an individual there for 26 years, or whatever, who was absolutely fine, coping without you.

She used to play every weekend in pubs with Daddy, and she'd written all these Irish songs out in a book. They're songs we've loved over the years, and because our parents played them in their band, they're very special to us.

On the paparazzi: I just want them to catch me with my dad and try to turn it into some 'handsome, mystery hunk'.

I suppose it got more of an edgy feel, a little bit more guitar-orientated and also an Irish sound, which is in 'Forgiven, Not Forgotten,'

There's a plain girl in everybody.

I just feel that if somebody happened to fancy somebody else, well, then, I should be a friend that he can say it to.

I really love singing.

I could never dream of being cool.

To us, it's vey natural. Initially, it sounded kind of strange to people, because it is different to put traditional Irish music in a pop and rock mode. But they get used to it -- it is our sound.

I don't really live by plans.

I have a high tolerance for discomfort.
