CLASSIC QUOTES

Have you ever come close to snogging a member of the same sex?
Shane - Never! Hugging, maybe, but never snogging. I'd rather kiss a dog than another man!
Nicky - Never, ever, ever - except maybe after scoring a goal when I was a footballer.
Bryan - No! I love women way too much!
Mark - I've kissed my Dad on the cheek, but everyone does that, don't they?
Kian - I've never come anywhere near it and I wouldn't even consider it!

Which members of the band have you seen naked?
Shane - Everyone!
Nicky - All of them!
Bryan - Yeah, all of them!
Mark - None, actually.
Kian - Mark, you have, you liar!

What do you wear in bed?
Shane - Boxers.
Nicky - Nothing but a smile.
Kian - Not telling, I'm shy!
Mark - Shorts and a T-shirt

My friend once sent you a brand new bra and knickers set. What do you do with underwear that fans send?
Shane: I wear them!
Nicky: Shane, I hope you understand this question now before you start saying that you wear the underwear.
Shane: Oh the fans bra and knickers... to be honest I never really get sent stuff.
Bryan: Have you ever put a girl’s thong on?
Nicky: Never! Kian has - I've seen him!
Bryan: I have and when you put them on it's so funny - your balls hang out over the side.

What item of clothing would you like to be and who would you want to wear you?
Shane - Eva Herzigova's Wonderbra!
Mark - The T-shirt Mariah Carey wears on the cover of the album.
Nicky - I'd be Liz Hurley's Versace dress.
Kian - Heather Graham's jeans, or maybe even her bra!
Bryan - A thong worn by Jennifer Love Hewitt!

Your new girlfriend tells you she wants to have a baby with you. How do you react?
All: (Laughing) P*** off!
Shane: I'd tell her no, it's too early.
Mark: (Laughs) P*** off for a few years, love!
Kian: I agree.
Mark: No babies for a long time

A fan asks you out to dinner and you don't have any plans that night. Would you go?
Shane: Is she good looking? If she isn't, I wouldn't go. I'm only joking!
Mark: It depends if she's a nice girl.
Shane: If she's a nice girl I'd go. Her being a fan wouldn't bother me.
Kian: Depends how big a fan she is.
Mark: If she's a lunatic, I wouldn't.

One girl wants to take two of you guys home to her place. Do you go?
All: Definitely not!
Shane: I wouldn't like that! I have to be in control.
Kian: (Laughs) If you are with two girls you're definitely not in control!
Shane: If there's two guys... no, can't think about it!
Mark: I'd never do that!

You're on a date with a girl you fancy. You find out that she's been dating JC from NSync, Nick from Backstreet Boys, and Sean from Five. What do you do?
Kian: She's a serial celebrity dater - get rid of her!
Shane: She's a monster fan - see ya!
Mark: In a situation like that, I would actually take advantage of the girl!
Shane and Kian: (Laughs) Oooh!
Mark: She's going to take advantage of me so obviously I would do the same to her if I'm in the mood for sex. If they're coming up to me just because I'm in a band and treat me with no respect as a person then I'd be like: "Whatever, love!"

Two girls want to take one of you guys home - do you go with them?
Shane: Oooh, yes!!
Kian: That's every man's fantasy.
Mark: (Laughs) I'd really love to have a threesome!
Shane: It depends if they've got nice personalities!
Mark: It depends if they look good.
Shane: True. Looks are so important. Looks are like the top for me.
Kian: That's a stupid thing to say!
Shane: Maybe it's not important to you, but it's important to me.
Mark: If you're going to have a threesome it's going to be more of a sex thing, not like boyfriend and girlfriend making love. So that's why the girls need to be sexy girls.
Shane: I don't see why that's a bad thing.
Kian: It's a bad thing to say because you say it all the time.
Shane: I'm just being honest here.

Who's the worst drunk?
Mark: I'm the one who can never remember anything from the night before.
Shane: Yea he can fall asleep on a brick.
Mark: I can never remember how I got home or how the hell I got into bed. I wake up and go 'f***! F***! What the hell did I do?'
Kian: Bryan's a lightweight.
Bryan: No, hang on a second. I can have three vodka and red bulls and then I'm drunk but then I can have another 20 and I'll stay the same drunk all night.
Mark: Kian bites people. People end up with teeth marks when he's drunk
Kian: I never bite people angrily though
Mark: No I think he bites people out of excitement!
Shane: Nicky would start a fight, kind of thing.
Bryan: Shane is the affectionate one. He's like 'I love you buddy, I love you buddy.'
Kian: He was in a club last week and he was holding my hand and was snuggled into my armpit like a wee baby.
Shane: I thought you were Gillian - I was SO drunk.

You're at a club and a guy comes up to you and asks you to dance. Do you?
Shane: A guy? Definitely not!
Kian and Mark: No!
Mark: People may think I'm gay.
Shane: No way! Bye bye!
Mark: If one of your mates asks you, it's OK. But not some stranger.
Shane: (Makes his voice deep) Would you like to dance? Hell no!
Kian: You go on the dance floor with a girl or some mates - not some strange man!
Shane: If a girl came and asked me, well, that's another story isn't it?
Mark: (Laughs) If she's good looking!
Shane: Yeah, nice legs and a nice bum! Mmmm. I'm into that.

Have you ever tried it on with a girlfriend’s sister, mum or friend?
Kian: “Not the mum - but definitely sisters and friends! A few times I’ve gone out with one sister for a while, then dated the other sister”
Bryan: “Again, I never had the opportunity, as I didn’t have many girlfriends”
Shane: “Yes - I ended up going out with the five best mates of one girlfriend”
Mark: “I once fancied a friend’s mum. I never acted on it - but only cos I was too young!”
Nicky: “In our group everyone went out with everyone else - so I s’pose that’s a Yes”

The first time you enter your new girlfriend's house, you discover she has posters of you everywhere. What do you do?
Shane: Psycho!
Mark: No, not a psycho.
Kian: It does make you wonder whether she's in it for you. Why does she have pictures of me all over her house? If she just had, say, a photo of me beside her bed that she had taken or one of her friends had taken, then that would be OK. But I'd think she wasn't in it for the right reason if she was with me every day, kissing me every day, and still had posters of me on every wall.
Shane: At the end of the day, when you're with a girl, you've got to feel you're with her because you're normal and you've got to feel like this girl might love you. You can take advantage of a lot of girls in Westlife. At the end of the day we're just normal people, but we understand it's difficult for a girl to ignore.
Mark: We don't take advantage. But some girls make it so obvious they are only coming up to you because you're in Westlife. You know. In that case it's really quite strange. But if the girl comes up and she's really being nice, it's a different story.

You're offered a role in a movie that lasts just 10 seconds and you'll get ?Millions. The only thing is - it's a nude scene. Would you do it?
Kian: If there was no sex involved, I would do it!
Mark: Definitely!
Shane: (Laughs) I reckon I'd do it for 10 hours!

The fashion police are on patrol. Which Westlifer is most likely to be arrested for indecent clothes sense and slung in the back of the van?
Kian: Shane! He can wear the silliest of things. Do you remember Tenerife? We all met up by the pool in our shorts and flip-flops and then Shane appeared: baseball cap, sunglasses, white vest, green summery shirt, swim shorts, bum bag...
Bryan: Big white socks and black Nike trainers...
Shane: No! Don’t remind me of that!
Kian: We said, “Where are you going Shane?” And he was all (puts on gormless voice), “What? What?” He looked like such a tourist.

Would you pose naked if it was for charity?
Kian: Me and Nicky were asked to do that and we said no. Also, a millionaire once asked me to marry him for £52 million and pose naked for him so he could draw me for £2 million!
Nicky: That's not a bad offer - just being drawn by some dude for £2 million.
Bryan: That's grand, and that's not even to go in public. You get a kidney infection and the doctor sees your b******* anyway, so who gives a sh*te? I'd call him back. Nicky: Give him my number.

What's the best present you ever got from your record company?
Mark: For a multi-million dollar corporation, they give sh*te presents!
Mark: For my 21st birthday the multi-million dollar corporation BMG bought me a wallet.
Mark: We've always said to them 'is there any chance of a nice car or something?' There are lots of bands that have been around for a lot less time than us and get more.
Bryan: We deserve five Aston Martins by now!

Do you reckon you will still all be doing this when you are 60 like Elton John
Bryan: Yep
Others: No
Shane: I can safely say we won't be together when we're 60.
Bryan: I can see Filan doing it - 'tonight in the Carrack Hotel in Mullingar, for one night only... Shane Filan!' Lots of little old ladies asking if he's going to be singing those Westlife songs.
Nicky: You can't even get an erection at 60 - what are you going to be singing for?

What song would you choose as your personal theme tune?
Shane: World Of Our Own.
Nicky: Simply The Best. [All the boys fall about laughing]. No, really, I love that song. It just gets your adrenaline pumping. But I went off it a bit when Chris Eubank started using it as his theme tune because he’s a knob.
Bryan: It’s got to be Eye Of The Tiger for me, definitely. [The boys all sing the famous Rocky tune]. Whenever I hear it, I just want to knock someone out.
Nicky: Riverdance gets me every time...

Describe your character in just on word...
Shane: I’m an entrepreneur - I’m always trying to think of ways to make money.
Bryan: And I’m always trying to think of ways to spend money. I’m what you might call financially lackadaisical.
Mark: Ummm...
Bryan: Tight-fisted?
Mark: Thanks. I’d say that I’m laid-back

Who takes the longest time in the loo doing a number two?
All: Haha.
Mark: We don't sit around and time each other.
(Turning to Nicky) I heard that you really enjoy a good shit, though.
Nicky: I do enjoy a good shit, I think everybody does.

Could you tell me about your first tour? What was it like?
Kian: I was hanging out of this roof at six o'clock in the morning. Remember? Haha.
Nicky: Kian got sick on the floor.
Kian: No, I did not.
Nicky: Right there. (Pointing) It looked like cow shit on the floor.
Kian: I get travelsick sometimes. It has nothing to do with Jack Daniel's.

If you could be a Mr Men character, which one would you be and why?
Nicky: I don't know any Mister Men characters.
Mark: Mr Sleepy because I can't get up until 2.00
Nicky: Kian is definitely Mr Grumpy.

If someone was to make a cartoon based on Westlife, what kind of characters would you be?
Kian:  I'm thinking South Park meets Homer Simpson. We do an awful lot of silly, crazy things, so I think that would be an accurate mixture.
Mark:  [Laughs] Yeah, Bryan would have to be Nelson.
Kian:  ...and Shane could be Lisa!

Amsterdam or New York?
Shane: Amsterdam, for sure! What a laid-back city!! In New York every sight is like miles apart, in Amsterdam everything is close by! Everything is walking distance!
Kian: Yeah, right! You would immediately dive into the first coffee shop you'd run into. And after that you won't be walking anywhere!
Mark: Let me put it this way; I have some very, very good memories of Amsterdam. I would like to keep it at that...
