Quotes

"I'll know I'm famous when I have five Ferraris, seven houses, Cameron Diaz on my arm and a little man following me with a huge bag of money"

"Me & Shane share so you can imagine what it's like - a bit like Beirut!"
- Bryan on who has the messiest hotelroom.

"I've worked in a cash and carry store, a wine cellar and McDonalds, which was by far the worst. I was a security guard for McDonalds in Dublin City Centre and it was awful. I just stood there all day - it was so boring."
- Bryan on his previous jobs

"When I was at school I got lines for dropping a big squelchy, loud fart. My teacher, who was a priest, made me write 'I must not fart in class' 100 times. I left that school shortly afterwards."

"We were round Ronan's having dinner. One of his friends was having a drink and we swapped his short with a swig of vinegar. The we started going 'Drink, drink, drink!' He did it, his face turned green and then he puked everywhere!"

"I bite my finger nails and spit them out. I once spat off a roof and hit someone. I didn't mean to but it was a direct hit."

"I collected Discovery Magazine. Looking back it was such a boring thing to do cos it's all about stuff like the Kings and Queens of England. I used to keep each copy stashed away in a file!"
- Bryan on one of his more boring childhood hobbies

"In Budapest, Hungary...they told us there wouldn't be too many fans there, but as soon as we arrived there was a big bunch of girls at the airport waving to us!"

"If we wasted our money, we'd blame Ronan"
- Bryan on who they hold responsible for Westlife's finances

"Bryan never stops talking. We just ignore him half the time!"
- Kian on Bry

"Bryan even talks in his sleep! Once he was asleep and I was on the phone, then he sat up and said, 'Britney Spears is on the the window ledge!' It was hysterical!"
- Nicky on Bryan

"I had to go home for a couple of days. I was just really, really tired."
- Bryan on his departure from the guys' U.S. promo tour in July 2000

"It can get very stressful. The getting up, getting on planes, changing countries and cities all the time. It's exciting for the first week, but the rest is awful. There are times when I regret what we do...but then I think about it and realise I couldn't get a normal job in Ireland today because of our success. It would be impossible, not even at McDonald's."
- how his life has changed

"I miss just having a regular life. Getting up at 8am and coming home again in the evening and being free to do what you want. Most people can take a day off, we can't. They can get out and get drunk on a Saturday night but we can't..."

"We still have the wintery ballads...there's a few up-tempos as well, like the Celine Dion-type of up-tempos. It's not like the stomp of Backstreet Boys. I can't see it doing worse than the first. It can only do better."
- talking about the new album

Did You Know...?

Bryan's nicknamed "Forgetful Spice" because he always forgets things when someone tells him something.

Bry used to spell his name with an 'i', he changed the spelling when he joined Westlife.

Before Westlife, he was in a band called Cartel.

He used to get bullied at school because the other kids said he was fat.

He says his first proper kiss wasn't til he was 17 (bless!)

The other Westlife lads say that Bryan gets the most screams from the audience when they're on tour!

Bryan was called Mr. Lazy when he was at school. He was always, always, ALWAYS late for school. Mornings were so hard for him to wake up to. Bryan hated school, but now that hes gone he actually misses it!

Bryan was sent home from school on his first day because he flicked an elastic band at his teacher's head and when he got home and his mum found out, she slapped him round the head.

He's scared of World War and of anything bad happening to his family.

Bryan hates rats.

He loves prawn crackers.

Bry sleeps in the nude!

He's the tallest member of Westlife

He would really love to meet singing legend Stevie Wonder!

Bryan plays piano and guitar

His mum Mairead is a playschool teacher

Bryan's mum still moans about the mess in his room!

He used to have a job in a bingo hall

He cried when Swear it Again went to number one!

He fancies Claire from Steps

When Bry met the Queen, he told her he liked her dress.

His mobile phone bill works out at around £3,000 per month

Bryan's fave smell is baking bread

He sometimes wears South Park socks

Bry's fave fave journey is the flight from London to Dublin

His secret ambition is to become an actor eventually!

Bryan joined the Billie Barry Stage School in Dublin at the age of 10, but his sister Susan joined when she was only 4 years old!

The video for Against All Odds had to be digitally remastered cos Bry was staring at Mariah's cleavage! Nicky explained: "There's a bit at the end of the video on the last line of the song which has us all with Mariah in slow motion, but when we saw the finished version, we're all smiling except Bryan, who is staring at her boobs. Because it's in slow motion it's really obvious, so the video had to be re-mastered so that his eyes are facing straight ahead like the rest of us. No one noticed until it had already been sent out to a few places, so there's still a sneaky look earlier in the video that Bryan's girlfriend Kerry Katona isn't happy about."
