BEST THING ABOUT BEING IN BOYZONE:
"We've visited countries I'd never have visited had it not been for the band, and I've met some very nice people. It's all an experience that can't be bought"
SHANE ON MIKEY:
"He's a good craic at times, but I think he's a bit of a worrier. He's quite sensible in the sense he likes to think about things, make sure everything's alright"
RONAN ON MIKEY:
"He definitely knows how to enjoy himself does Mick, he knows how to have a laugh. But when he's not having a laugh, you know when he's down or upset"
KEITH ON MIKEY:
"Mikey's a good bloke, a fun guy, good friend, out for a laugh. A nightmare when he's tired - but a genuine decent bloke"
STEPHEN ON MIKEY:
"A very nice person, friendly, a deep thinking person"
FIRST TIME I REALISED I WAS FAMOUS:
"I don't think I'm famous. I never ever see it that way. It's actually better to see it that way. I think maybe if I became famous in a solo thing, I'd maybe feel it then. But now I don't"
ON BOYZONE FANS:
"The best thing about our fans is their loyalty and support, they're so dedicated! Some of them do silly things, though. They travel all over the place to see us and that's not safe for young girls... And they know more than we do about what we're doing!"
EARLIEST CHILDHOOD MEMORY:
"Being born! Honestly! I remember being asleep, all nice and snug, then the next thing I knew there was a bright light and a great big frying pan coming at me!"

MIKEY ON KEITH:
"He has a big heart, he's good fun, but a bit troublesome..."
FIRST TIME I REALISED I WAS FAMOUS:
"It was at the first Point Depot gig we played in Dublin. We'd been playing gigs all over Ireland for a year and a half - small concerts, just in nightclubs and stuff, with only one or two hundred people in the audience. Then all of a sudden we'd sold out the Point Depot, we couldn't believe it!"
ON BOYZONE FANS:
"Once on my birthday fans came round to my house and held a surprise party and bought me lovely presents. That's when fans are really lovely! They used to come round to my mum's house and help her do the dishes too!"
