Little bad habits...

"Also, sucking my thumb comforts me. It helps me fall asleep. If I get tired, the first thing I do is put my thumb in my mouth. But I don't think it's because I'm insecure. It's just very comforting and I love it. I can't give it up."

"I lose things all the time; it's a pain for other people. Something stops in my brain, a kind of malfunction. If you asked my brother he would say dizzy. He calls me Danger Dizzy." --- Andrea on losing things all the time -----Channel V, February 2001

K: I read some interesting things about you as a family, including some bad habits. Who still sucks their thumb?

A: Jim! (Laughter all around)

K: That's not what I heard!

A: No, no. I do.

K: I did that until I was 8 yrs old and then I had to get braces. Your teeth look very good.

A: Yeah, it hasn't really affected them. It's a technique. You have to, have to, you know, suck it properly. (Loud laughter fills the studio)

E: God bless Andrea Corr. Ladies and gentlemen, it's the Corrs. That is a tremendous, tremendous answer. That's the answer we were all looking for.

A: I think that is gonna be the quote of the year, man.
