“My grandparents never understood why my mother Noreen chose such exotic names for her children: Damon and me. My granny insisted on calling my brother Dermot - a good Irish name - until she died; I was just known as 'wee one.'”

“Mum left school at 15, and after a few years of modelling and dating jazz musicians, was married by 21 to my father, Mike Taylor, a journalist on the 'Daily Mirror.' They had my brother and me pretty quickly and had split up by the time I was two. I don't really have any memories of them as a couple.”

“I refused to let my brother down, because he sacrificed for me. And I always told him, 'As long as one of us playing football, we both playing football.'”

“When I started to play in school, I didn't have an idol as such, I didn't really like football in my nursery days. I used to go three times a week due to my brother's influence and also because our friends used to go as well.”

“The soundtrack of O Brother is the most publicity I've gotten. I don't feel that I have lost any of my old fans, but I have gained new ones.”
