What policies do you think Ronan should implement once he becomes President? Mark: No taxes on any music. Nicky: Build soccer up in Ireland. Shane: Don't get married until you're 23. (Everyone laughs, since Westlife's management won't let them marry until then.) Bryan: (to Ronan) Fancy, 22 years old and people are talking about you being President. Would you take it if they offered it to you? Ronan: Of course, I damn would! Bryan: You wouldn't take it now! You wouldn't take it tomorrow! Ronan: I would if the wages were good enough. (Laughter.) New gaff, nice car. Why not?! Will you be in his cabinet? Ronan: Oh, can you imagine! There'd be nothing done the country! It'd be like: public holiday - let's go to the pub! Science If Westlife was a smell, what would it be? Bryan: B.O. Ronan: No, it'd be a lovely fragrance, a gorgeous fragrance. It'd smell like wild flowers. Kian: Dolce & Gabbana aftershave. Shane: It'd be a cross between smog and turf! Now will you keep the chemistry of the group together? Kian: The five of us have a great relationship - a strong friendship. We all love each other like brothers. I know all bands say that, but we do. Mark: We kill each other like brothers, but it's a natural thing. Ronan: It's good, and it's something we had in the beginning, too. We still have it, don't get me wrong, but it's important that you can understand each other's moods, because that's something you can't avoid. There's gonna be days when one of you isn't having a good one and you clash. Bryan: (piously) If I found put that something I was doing was annoying the lads, I wouldn't keep doing it. Nicky: We know each other's good points and bad points. Kian: (naughtily) But if we wanna annoy someone, then we really know how to annoy them. How will you celebrate exploding on to the charts? Nicky: I think we'll bring our manager out to dinner! Boyz Aren't Us! Why Westlife aren't just another Boyzone... Bryan: We're younger. We look different. Ronan: They're better-looking than we are. Shane: We sound different. Kian: A lor of bands have been launched on how they look, but for us it's about the songs. We're more mature. Bryan: We love to sing acappella, which is different from other boy bands. And we're five different personalities. Also, Boyzone is a Dublin band out and out, but this is a Sligo band, totally and utterly. Ronan: How are the towns different? Sligo's a lot slower. Nicky: Hey! (Uproar.) Ronan: No, I don't meanslow as in stupid, I kust mean a lot more relaxed. The city's mad, but the country's more laid back. Kian: They think everyone in the country just lies about on the farm! Bryan: (who's from Dublin) Sligo's a Third World country! (Everyone screeches.) Ronan: Oh, it's started already. It's all gone pear-shaped!
