Dolores O'Riordan Zitate – Sprüche auf Englisch mit Übersetzung

Zitat des Tages von Dolores O'Riordan:

Each gig is brilliant and fun. When it becomes a routine, we'll take a break. There's no point in doing it if you don't enjoy it.

It's pretty weird when you are just touring all the time and you don't have a normal life. You're out of touch with reality too much.

Dolores O'Riordan

I was so famous that I couldn't leave the hotel room. I remember looking out of the window at all these fans but just feeling so isolated.

Dolores O'Riordan

Each gig is brilliant and fun. When it becomes a routine, we'll take a break. There's no point in doing it if you don't enjoy it.

Dolores O'Riordan

It was tough. We went right from being teenagers to musical superstars with money and fame and attention. All of us had a hard time adjusting to it, especially me.

Dolores O'Riordan

It's amazing to see anyone come out, let alone tell you they have been waiting so long. They are loyal people, our fans.

Dolores O'Riordan

One day we were in Limerick... and then, a few weeks later, we were being flown around to play. When we started, it was just a hobby. It wasn't any big ambition.

Dolores O'Riordan

The feeling that's in your heart all the time comes out spiritually in your voice and the music.

Dolores O'Riordan

When I was about 14, I got a tacky keyboard for 250 pounds and put on a drum machine and found I could write a song.

Dolores O'Riordan

My mom always had a softer spot for boys, as a lot of Irish women do. If you were a girl, you'd have to sing or wear a pretty dress. But boys could just sit there and be brilliant for sitting there and being boys. It makes you that little bit more forward. Pushy. I was singing, always.

Dolores O'Riordan

I guess the way to keep a grip on reality is just to take breaks in between albums like most normal bands do. Go home and be a person and hang out with your friends. Do separate things and get back to earth and write songs and go out there again.

Dolores O'Riordan

Room service is nice. Ooh-la-la, a hotel. At home, it's laundry and school lunches.

Dolores O'Riordan

As you get older, it's good to open up and acknowledge that everybody has their scary moments, their negative moments. And in order to move on and find comfort and hope, you have to stop running from the darkness and face it. And when you face it, it's not that scary at all, and sometimes it actually turns around and runs away.

Dolores O'Riordan

You get older and come to the conclusion that it's a great gig making music. Even if you turn into an old gnarly fart, no one cares what you look like if you write good songs - the only gig is to sing well and perform.

Dolores O'Riordan

A lot of these songs just came from day-to-day experiences. And it was a very natural, kind of organic process.

Dolores O'Riordan

Sometimes your kids give you that shove out the door to do things that you need. Teenagers are good that way; they keep you in the loop.

Dolores O'Riordan

I love performing, and I love the idea of people buying records. I don't particularly like the idea of people knowing me or thinking they do, but that's a part of what I choose. I choose not to go to college; I choose to be a singer.

Dolores O'Riordan

I thought the best thing to do to bring me back to reality would be to have a child, and by the time I had my first, Taylor, when I was 25, we'd sold 35 million records as a band, and I'd had enough; I knew my sanity was more important than success.

Dolores O'Riordan

I got to a point where I referred to myself as Dolores of the Cranberries instead of myself because I alienated my real self from what I became so much.

Dolores O'Riordan

My husband Don's mother, Denise, was diagnosed with cancer, and she was given eight months to live. We decided to go and stay there and help live her days with her, 'cause you don't get those chances again, right?

Dolores O'Riordan

People look at you and see a product. They don't see a soul. They see an empty hole.

Dolores O'Riordan

I lived in a small village outside the city and grew up in a large family, so my world was very much centred around that. I used to sing in the local church, and I would also occasionally sing in the local pubs for which I used to get a few bob. That, for me, was the start of my interest in music, which has obviously expanded since then.

Dolores O'Riordan

The first album didn't become successful until the second was practically written.

Dolores O'Riordan

For a while there, our writing got really edgy... I've always written about experiences, so when your life gets a bit crazy, you start to write songs that are a bit edgy.

Dolores O'Riordan

I love to go home to my kids. I don't have that lull in my life when I didn't have them.

Dolores O'Riordan

I hated singing, I hated being on stage; I hated being in the Cranberries. I was constantly crying. I was going insane. I wanted to be a shopkeeper, a hairdresser, anything. I was so desperate to have a reality, friends, a regular, boring life. I missed that.

Dolores O'Riordan

The writing became a hobby in the background: it took a back seat to parenthood and being a person and being a human being.

Dolores O'Riordan

I enjoyed living in Canada, where my husband comes from, because I was treated like any ordinary person. I became a volunteer at my children's school; I went into the classroom. It was very grounding. I got sick of being famous.

Dolores O'Riordan

I am just trying to live for my kids. It is all about my kids now. I love them endlessly.

Dolores O'Riordan

I look like that in the morning: my hair's all greasy - it's not, 'Hey, look at the babe of the band!' I hate that kind of thing, the way women are always pushed forward as beauties... it's very easy: you can make the ugliest pig look lovely in a photograph.

Dolores O'Riordan

When you're pregnant or living with an infant, there's a kind of sacredness around your body that affects everything you do.

Dolores O'Riordan

I was 19 when I wrote 'Dreams,' and that would have been when it started to happen. The band got signed, and I was probably beginning to see different things besides my small town of Ballybricken.

Dolores O'Riordan

My kids mean more to me than anything I thought was important when I was younger.

Dolores O'Riordan

I lived in buses. I didn't really have anything else. I didn't feel like a female, and I ended up really kind of isolated. Everybody thinks you're so happy and so wealthy and such a big star, but you're really kind of lonely and don't know how to stop it.

Dolores O'Riordan

I just block out the demons. I sing. I block them away. I put my pain into my music. I paint. I make my own videos. I direct myself. No one directs me anymore. I am in charge of my destiny.

Dolores O'Riordan

We have a certain bond that we don't have with anyone else on the planet. You just have that bond, that journey when you are in a band together.

Dolores O'Riordan

People often ask me why I sing with a strong Irish accent. I suppose when I was five years old, I spoke with a strong Irish accent, so I sang with one, too.
