I'd tell my 16-year-old self, 'Don't take yourself so seriously, and just have fun.'
— Ronan Keating
It's harder for someone like a singer to prove they can be an actor because people immediately want to say, 'Oh, he's no good.'
The boys and I were all very close. There were never any bust-ups in Boyzone, never any fights.
I don't need to do or say things to place me in a position where I look a bit cooler.
I think my feet were on the ground, and I had good family around me. It comes down to who you are and your upbringing.
I find the Aussies are great and just let you be. The odd time, somebody has something smart to say, but it's very rare.
I love making music, and performing, that will always be there.
You've got to take every day as it comes and live as if it's your last.
Forget about musical credibility. I think, unless you're Radiohead or whatever, it's pointless striving for that. What I would like is some respect.
I listen to loads of different music all the time.
Having the guts to be the person you are is what makes you brave.
When we live in a world where everyone wants their 15 minutes of fame, I think it's nice to have a show like 'All Together Now,' where it's about people having 15 minutes of fun.
I try to stay fit and healthy and eat well.
I hate seeing people getting a raw deal and artists not being in control of what they are doing. It happens all the time.
As a parent, you're never wrong in your children's eyes.
I would like to take on roles which nobody would expect. I don't want to be reduced to love stories. I'd like to try dark, edgy roles. I need a challenge.
I would love to do a Bollywood flick.
Christmas is a special time of year for everyone - I remember getting my first BMX bike when I was a kid, and it was the best present ever.
We were a working man's boy band.
I wanted to travel. I wanted hit records. I wanted success. I wanted respect, but not credibility - that's one thing Boyzone never looked for.
Music is my heart and soul. That's what I love to do.
My 13 year old, my girl Missy, has made four feature films. She's the most grounded, level-headed kid.
I love iTunes. I love downloading music.
Music is my passion.
I'm not incredibly wealthy. When you go through a divorce, that diminishes rapidly because you're supporting more than one household.
I worked very hard in my first marriage, and I travelled constantly to make money for the family, and when I came home, I would be the best father that I could be.
My dad taught me to work hard and be a grafter, and my mam taught me to have a heart and showed me how to love. That's a good balance.
As a kid, I was called Tintin because of my hair colour and style.
I've gone through some dark times, and at those times, my tattoos have helped and guided me through.
I've never been particularly happy with what I see in the mirror - I don't think anybody ever is. And I'd like to be taller, too: I'm 5 ft. 9in.
I'm glad to have a couple a quid in my pocket to be able to enjoy life.
I just want to be a good man.
The song 'Gave It All Away' has a reggae sound.
I have lived a crazy life since I was 16, have travelled the world, and met some amazing people. And if you can turn that into music, then you are doing something right.
If you're an up-and-coming star, and you want to do well, then a show like 'The X Factor' is really important.
Even at our height, we were never very polished.
I wanted to be Jon Bon Jovi and Bono. But I'm not that cool. I don't need to be. I'm not a rock star. I am who I am.
I want time for my career, my kids, and my partner.
Kids are different. Boys and girls at 14, 15, 16 - some are more developed in the mind; some aren't... It comes down to the individual.
I think eventually all music will be free.
Director Baz Luhrmann flew me to New York to read for 'Moulin Rouge!' Maybe I was a little blase about it.
I have a great relationship with my kids.
One time, a fan jumped on the back of our vehicle, and without noticing, we drove away. I was pretty frightened, actually.
I find it very hard to make choices.
If Simon Cowell asked me, of course I would love to do 'X Factor.'
I have a Superman tattoo on my right arm.
The one thing I have always tried to get across is what you see is what you get. This is me, like it or lump it.
My faith is in God. If it's a little statue of Buddha or whatever works for you, brilliant.
My future definitely lies in the music business.
I've done a couple of castings... I've done an audition for 'The Hobbit.'
