BEFORE BOYZONE:
Ro's been writing songs since his first year at secondary school when he formed a band with his mates Ian, Stuey, Gordan, Adrian and John called Nameste. He was still at school when Boyzone began, but in his spare time he helped out at his mum's hairdressing salon, and worked with his dad on the trucks. He also worked as a sales assistant at Korky's shoe shop on Dublin's Grafton Street.
FIRST RECORD EVER BOUGHT: Last Christmas by Wham!
FAVOURITE MEAL: Pasta
BEST THING ABOUT BEING IN BOYZONE: "It's a job, but I love it. I've done lots of jobs but I've never enjoyed them - they were always just jobs to me. This is something that I love - I've got four mates with me, and we have a good time"
SHANE ON RONAN: "He's got a very big heart Ro has - he'd definitely do anything for anybody - even if he didn't know you he'd still do it, he's a really really kind-hearted person"
STEPHEN ON RONAN: "He's the type of person who's very generous, very friendly, very honest and just very sincere"
KEITH ON RONAN: "He likes people to like him, he's a very loveable person, he'll do anything for you, he's a very good friend. And he's very professional - he's so professional he makes me sick at times! He's just a very nice bloke!"
MIKEY ON RONAN: "He's only a young fella but he acts a lot older, he's a decent fella, a concerned kind of person..."
FIRST TIME I REALISED I WAS FAMOUS: "I still haven't! Though when I hosted the European MTV awards, that was pretty special. It was a rush and I felt pretty cool and important then - but I wouldn't say famous, I could never use that word. Ronan Keating and famous doesn't really go. Never does, never has, never will! That's what keeps your feet on the ground. I hope!"
ON BOYZONE FANS: "The best thing is how genuine they are to us - they'd never treat us badly. If they didn't respect us, it'd be hard to carry on and enjoy it, but they do have respect. They understand when we want to be left alone"
EARLIEST CHILDHOOD MEMORY: "Falling off my bike! It was Christmas and I got a brand new BMX. The brakes were too strong and I went right over the handlebars!

EARLIEST CHILDHOOD MEMORY:
