Will you start getting off with the fans? Kian: It depends how good-looking they are! (Everyone laughs.) Ronan: Never say never, lads. They're your bread and butter. Bryan: You never know... Who'd win a scrap between you and Boyzone? Bryan: We would! Nicky: They're too old - we wouldn't even have to try. (To Kian) But would you take Shane Lynch? Kian: I'd take any of them! I'd get my head battered, though. Ronan: Stephen would kill you all! It would'nt be a pretty sight, I can tell you that. English Are you planning to be outrageous in interviews? Nicky: No, just to be ourselves. Mark: Just to have a bit of fun, like we're having now. Ronan: As everyone knows, I really regret saying I was a virgin in one of my early interviews. You can't help it though - I was just sixteen when I joined and I didn't know anything about the industry or where I was going. I was just honest - too honest. I should have kept my mouth shut, but that's the way it is. Bryan: I'm still a virgin. (Everyone laughs nervously.) Will you start reading loads and getting really deep? Kian: I've never read a book in my life! Bryan: 'Fantastic Mr Fox'! Ronan: 'Gumdrop Goes To Brighton'. Did you ever read any of them? Shane: I read 'Emma' by Jane Austen. You know, the novel? Kian: Ya sap! (Everyone laughs.) Religious Education Will you say 'Please God' all the time, like Ronan? Kian: Please God, no. Nicky: It's just an Irish thing. My mam says 'God bless' everywhere I go. Ronan: At the end of the day, it just depends on your upbringing. Kian: (agreeing) My mam's always shouting, so I'm always shouting, too. Nicky: That's true. (Shouts) KIAN! Shane: My mam always gives me a miraculous medal every time I go away. She blesses it, as well. Nicky: My nan is the holiest woman in Ireland. She got me my birthstone and a little guardian angel. Mark: I've got a thing like two tea bags on a string - it's meant to protect you. Kian: My mam lights a candle every week for us in mass, to help us. Shane: Praying is big in my family. We pray every night. Kian: When I shared with Shane, he was like: "Shh! Say your prayers!" Ronan: I pray before I do anything like a TV show or a concert. I pray that the rest of Boyzone are all right, that I'm OK, that the fans are safe and that everything goes well. We always give each other a hug before we go on stage, but we wouldn't pray together. Some people have different views from others in the band, y'know. Nicky: Well, we're thinking about taking a priest on the road with us! Bryan: Auditions next week! |
