On being called a manufactured band...

"How do you manufacture a family? Does somebody get into the lab with some test tubes and say 'I hope she plays the violin, and he plays the piano….'?" --- Andrea Corr on The Corrs being called a manufactured group -----Hot Press, Niall Stokes, Dec 2000

"Our parents were amazing, weren't they? Well done, Mum and Dad!"
---Sharon Corr on The Corrs being called manufactured -----Life!, August 2000, Arti Mulchand

"Because ultimately, something that is manufactured will be seen right through. Yeah, if you see a band that looks great maybe they'll have some short-term success. But generally very short-lived success. Because ultimately, they can't deliver the goods and the goods are not looks. The goods are talent and the ability to play your instrument."
