CAROLINE CORR

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.

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!!

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.

I remember my first show was a live TV show in Ireland, and I was just petrified. It was horrific.

It's been crazy trying to tour with a baby. But it's actually working out okay.

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

I mean, y'know, platinum is different in every country, which can be confusing.

I used to play the piano in the band, and so there's some horrendous scenes of me playing the keyboards.

We play our Irish songs a bit more loosely.

I've always stayed pretty fit. I felt I needed to give myself energy by exercising and things like that.

We go in and I do my thing, and then we supplement it with whatever we want.

We do it because we love to play music and that's what we're all about.

Waking up with a bad head in the morning is difficult sometimes.

We've worked very hard as a band and would like to think we've got this far on the strength of our music.

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

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!!!

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.

I do like to look at female drummers, because I am one.

And I've played piano since I was little, so I was originally the piano player in the band.

There was no one in particular I really tried to copy.

Oh yeah, we all write. That's what's great about when you have basics in piano.

In Ireland, it's been like U2 and The Cranberries, which is rock, but you know they're Irish.

I really like to have a bit of direction, you know?

When I was drumming with Mick Fleetwood I thought I looked half mad. I thought I looked half crazy.

Well I had a musical background, but I still didn't know a lot about drums at the time.
