Quotes
"A few months ago I was always asking Louis, 'When are we going to do this, when are we going to do that?' and he
said, 'Look Kian, in a year's time you'll be asking me, 'When will we have a day off?'!"
- Kian, April 1999
"The days are gone when you could just put five good-looking lads on stage and that'd be it. You need to be so
talented and that's why we'll make it"
- Kian explains why Westlife 'll be the next big band
"When I broke up with my first serious girlfriend I was absolutely gutted. One night I was at this club, and of
course, my ex-girlfriend was there. After a few drinks I got a little emotional and I ended up just slumped in a
corner crying my eyes out all night."
"I was in a holiday centre where this event called the Community Games was taking place. It must have been around
midnight and I was sitting on this railing out on a balcony which was a bit wet. Next thing you know, my foot slipped
and I fell back. Luckily enough my foot got caught in a clothes line which broke my fall. I fell head first about two
storeys and I was still knocked unconscious with a dislocated shoulder. Who knows what would have happened
without that washing line?!"
- Kian describes how his life was saved by a washing line
"Nicky's terrified about being stuck in a lift so I'm always dragging him into them, jumping up and down, pretending
its stuck, anything just to freak him out! Actually... I torment Nicky about most of his phobias!
"I'm only learning to drive, so there's no point in buying a BMW. I've already bashed the Fiesta off the pillars of
the gate at home."
- Kian on why he refuses to ditch his &ppound;500 Ford Fiesta
"I did pierce my ear once when I was at school, but I did it with a pin and it really, really hurt!"
"I wouldn't mind maybe having a small one, trouble is, I can't decide which design to choose!
- on getting a tattoo
"Shane's the best at Mortal Kombat, but I'm the king of football games!"
- Kian on who's best at Play station gammes
"It would be easy to have a girlfriend in the business. She'd know how to cope with the life,"
- On having a celebrity girlfriend
"I just want a girlfriend, full stop. I'm 19 years of age. I'm red blooded - I need some, you know!"
"...it's very hard to describe yourself. I'm quite serious when it comes to the band, I'm dedicated to my work. I
love what I do and I make sure everybody loves what they do."
"I'm pretty ridiculous when it comes to buying clothes. I'll get 10 different leather jackets if I like them. Me and
Nicky go into shops and say we'll have that one, that one, that one and that one, and those trousers over there. You
feel guilty when you buy 10 £1,000 jackets and then go next door to buy a diamond ring. My father works really
hard for an electricity company and if he found out I was spending money like that he would go mad."
-Kian on his extravagant shopping spreess
"When I was 12 I wrote a note to myself which said, 'I'm going to be a millionaire by the time I'm 21 - by Kian
Egan.' My parents have still got it."
"It said in the paper that I was a stripper - not true!"
Bryan on Kian: "He turns into Leonardo DiCaprio for half an hour when he´s chatting a girl up"
"Kian annoys me in the morning - he shouts at me to wake up, and even threw water over me once! I hate it."
- Shane on Kian
"I always wanted to be in a rock band and practised at home. Now I have bought myself a little Christmas present
from America. It's a Fender Strat guitar and it's beautiful. Every Christmas me and my brother get together and
form our own rock band.. He plays bass and I play guitar. There are seven children in my family and all of us play an
instrument of some kind so it's in the genes."
- It was a noisy Christmas in the Egan hhousehold 2001!
