“I didn't think I'd ever follow Bez on to a reality TV show. But it was brilliant for him winning 'Celebrity Big Brother' and he's still my best mate.”

“I don't know why we said half the stuff that we did to journalists. It was almost as if we didn't think they were going to print it.”

“When the Mondays split up I looked at the others who'd rather sign on the dole than work with me and Bez, and thought: 'Whoa, you're gonna throw this opportunity away and maybe never work in music again?' There was no way we were doing that.”

“Thankfully, my manager didn't talk me into 'Big Brother' or 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!'”

“I'm a big brother, I'm the first of four.”

“The PRC is the big brother in this relationship, and it has the capacity to be generous to Taiwan on this issue in a manner that might do much to defuse that issue internally in Taiwan.”
