Will any of you quit the fame game in the future?
Shane: I think Mark will. He does this job because he loves to sing, not because he loves being famous.
Kian: I'd say Mark, too. He's a quiet person and likes his privacy.
Nicky: Yeah, he's so laid back and doesn't really care about glamour or fame.
Bryan: And he's very homely, too.Mark: Yeah, it probably would be me. I love what I'm doing now, but one day I might just go and live on a desert island.

What's the strictest thing Ronan's ever said to you?
Mark: He's not really strict, but he advises us on things like girlfriends and how to treat people.
Nicky: We're more like mates - it's not like he's a teacher or anything. He listens to our opinions and gives us feedback.
Bryan: Ronan's more interested in the songs and music than anything else. Louis (their other manager) is the strict one!
Shane: I was late for a TV show once and Ronan just said: "Look, you can't do that." And he was really serious about it. I haven't been late for anything since!

Naming no names, who's your least favourite person in the showbiz?
Kian: The person I'm thinking of is really tall, with spiky hair, and looks quite old! He's got a tattoo, wears baggy clothes, is sometimes unshaven. Oh, and he's in pop.
Nicky: This person is small and weird, with black hair. He's off the wall, and a male solo artist.
Shane: There isn't anyone I hate, but one indie popstar was once very rude to Bryan and Nicky.
Mark: He's a fella, rugged looking, he's got facial hair and some piercings in his ear...
Bryan: He's got shaggy hair and glasses and he thinks that he's John Lennon!
