"Musicians are probably the most uncomfortable people in themselves in the world. Happiness, I think, only exists when you're a child and once you go past 11, unfortunately it's gone"

About this Quote

This quote by Andrea Corr speaks to the trouble of finding true happiness as an adult. She recommends that the only time we can truly more than happy is when we are children, and that as soon as we pass the age of 11, that happiness is gone. This suggests that artists, who are typically extremely delicate and introspective, are particularly susceptible to feeling uneasy in their own skin. It recommends that musicians are especially vulnerable to the troubles of their adult years, and that they may have a hard time to find true happiness. This quote speaks with the difficulty of discovering happiness and satisfaction in life, and the importance of cherishing the moments of happiness we experience as kids. It is a reminder to appreciate the happiness of childhood, and to aim to find happiness in adulthood, in spite of the difficulties it might bring.
