Quotes

-"A few months ago I was always asking Louis, 'When are we going to do this, when are we going to do that?' and he said, 'Look Kian, in a year's time you'll be asking me, 'When will we have a day off?'!"

-"The days are gone when you could just put five good-looking lads on stage and that'd be it. You need to be so talented and that's why we'll make it" (Kian explains why Westlife'll be the next big band).

-"When I broke up with my first serious girlfriend I was absolutely gutted. One night I was at this club, and of course, my ex-girlfriend was there. After a few drinks I got a little emotional and I ended up just slumped in a corner crying my eyes out all night."

-"I was in a holiday centre where this event called the Community Games was taking place. It must have been around midnight and I was sitting on this railing out on a balcony which was a bit wet. Next thing you know, my foot slipped and I fell back. Luckily enough my foot got caught in a clothes line which broke my fall. I fell head first about two storeys and I was still knocked unconscious with a dislocated shoulder. Who knows what would have happened without that washing line?!" (Kian describes how his life was saved by a washing line).

-"Nicky's terrified about being stuck in a lift so I'm always dragging him into them, jumping up and down, pretending its stuck, anything just to freak him out! Actually... I torment Nicky about most of his phobias".
