Quotes
Corinne says interesting and sensible things when it comes to her music, her songs and her experiences. Here is an assortment of things she mentioned during her various interviews.
• On how Corinne allowed her music to be influenced by jazz:
“I am a fan of jazz, but not the muso kind. I hate all the noodling, which is why I love classic songs: because they are so pure and succint. That's what I tried to do with my own songs. They are short and sweet, to the point.”
“I like the idea of leaving people wanting more, not less, you know.”
• Corinne in reflection on her own debut album:
“…it's chilled out, acoustic, kooky, atmospheric and soulful. I'd also be tempted to say it comes from a very organic place, but that would sound pretentious, so I won't.”
• When talking about the theme 'love' that she writes about in her songs:
“I'm interested in the things that no one ever tells you about in relationships, about how love works in terms of expectation versus reality.”
• Corinne on her last name:
“There's no hyphen. Stops it being posh!”
• Some other, mentionable quotes:
“Writing songs — playing music — is, I know, precisely what I should be doing with my life.”
“Because of my background, I never felt comfortable with these R & B divas, but I'd hate to be just some pensive girl with a guitar.”
“Because I'm the oldest, I've always had to be stronger — not showing that anything bothers me.”
“Letting my guard down, trusting that someone will look after me …I've found that hard to do.”
“I think great art can be made out of all different emotions.”
“I'd like to save a bit of independent space in my brain for what I think, and then you can't blame other people if you push in one direction and it doesn't work, and you can't get too depressed if someone says something negative about the music.”
