Say What?! comprehensive Corrs quotes collection

Who's most romantic?
Jim: Andrea is the most romantic - she translates into her lyrics.
Andrea: Jim's right - you can hear it when I write a song. But that can be embarrasing. On our first single I wrote: 'Make love to me through the night,' and when I sang it in front of my parents, I had to turn away. I knew my mother would be thinking: 'Where did she learn that?'

Do you vet each other's partners?
Jim: The girls would never tell me if they didn't like a girl I was seeing, but they'd secretly talk about it.
Andrea: I've never disliked anyone they have dated. In fact, one of Sharon's ex-boyfriends was really cute. I had a crush on him when I was a kid.

Who is the bossiest?
Sharon: It's me, but I like to think of myself as organised rather than bossy.
Andrea: She makes lists and holds the passports and tickets when we're travelling. She can't help herself.

Who has the messiest room?
Jim: Andrea, and then I'd come a close second, followed by Caroline.
Andrea: None of us are particularly domestic, let's put it that way.

Who used to grass to your parents?
Jim: Sharon probably grassed on me and with good reason most of the time.
Caroline: Andrea used to snitch on me.
Andrea: You're making it up! What have you just done by answering that question? You've become a grass!

Who bickers amongst you?
Andrea: We girls take it in turns. But you can do that with people you love.
Sharon: Over the last two years, we've grown up and rarely row now. As far as sibling rivalry goes, that doesn't come into it, unless we're doing a photo shoot and one of us is feeling particularly ugly. We all have moments when we feel inadequate.

Be honest - have you ever hit each other?
Caroline: Loads of times when we were kids! Jim never hit us but we girls used to fight. Plenty of hair was pulled!

Corr! What a family!

After a performance of 'No Good For Me' in the studio Andrea: Oh God...you'll have to excuse the post-tour voice. We've all just done four nights in a row of so much touring! Int: I was gonna say...
Sharon: ...and I've just realized my voice is gone! And yours is going!
Andrea: I used to be pure! (laughs)

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

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!

There must have been some corking scraps when the four of you were growing up...

All: Plenty!
Caroline: About clothes, usually.
Sharon: I had to lock my bedroom! They'd always just walk into my room and take my clothes!
Jim: Even me, and then she'd beat me up! I'm only joking by the way. I'm not really a cross-dresser or anything!
Caroline: Sharon was the eldest so she had the most sophisticated clothes. Poor Andrea and I had to make to with her hand-me-downs!

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!

Did you play the bossy older brother, Jim?

Andrea: Do you know what Jim'd do to me when we played hide and seek? He'd lift me up and put me on the very top shelf of this great big cupboard. I'd be sitting up there waiting for someone to come and find me, and they'd have all stopped playing! (Aww!)
Jim: We'd be sat there having a cup of tea and then, every half-hour or so, we'd shout up to Andrea, 'coming'!
Sharon: I remember one time Jim locked me in this wardrobe and started shaking it. It was pretty old and couldn't take it so the whole thing collapsed and crashed onto my bed which then split in two!

Any strange habits when you were little?

Caroline: Andrea still sucks her thumb!
Andrea: I do, and the one I suck is smaller than the other! (Quickly flashes her thumbs and proves that this really is the case). But Caroline sniffs her jumper!
Caroline: Oh no! What on earth is that going to sound like? Let's not get into this! It's sort of like a comfort thing. I just pull the neck of my jumper up over my nose when I'm tired. It's not as crazy as it sounds! (Uh huh....)

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!

Sharon: Well, I did put a really dirty smelly sock on Caroline's nose when she was sleeping. It was one of Jim's so it was lethal, but she slept right through it!
Caroline: No way! I can't believe you did that! (Cue light slapping and hysterical laughter...)

Happy Families!

Andrea: This song I chose because it has a lot of memories! Um...it's 'Alphabet Street' by Prince. Em..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!!

VH1 Ten Of The Best

Andrea: "You want more?"
Crowd: "YEEAAAH!!!!"
Andrea: "Ok here's more! Let's skip the 'walk off the stage' bit"

Andrea: "Hello Adelaide! It's so nice to see you again... if only I could see you (the spotlight right in her face)"

Andrea: "I think the reasons for the popularity of the Corrs around the planet is that our music is very melodic. There's something about the traditional Irish music that, all around the world, seems to capture everybody's heart."

Canadian TV/March 8 (aired March 12), 1999

Does Andrea drink?
'Yes.'
Does she get drunk?
'Absolutely, yeah.'

(On having children)
Andrea.'I never said only in the context of marriage' she responds. 'I believe marriage is sacred and would prefer to get married but I do think people can make steady, committed relationships and not sign those papers. Daddy will be very upset to hear me say that! Sorry, daddy! But, plan-wise, I am getting married and having babies.
