[1997] I'm ambitious, very ambitious. I'm always having this little battle of trying to be accepted. I think all my life I've always wanted to be accepted. Show less «

[ruling out becoming a judge on a talent show like Gary Barlow and Howard Donald] I think I'd struggle when you have to kind of give comments that maybe aren't always very nice, I don't know whether I'd quite be able to do that. Show less «

We started to do well the day we put clothes on.

[1997] I'm a loner and always have been.

I miss his [Jason Orange's] company, it was only yesterday I was thinking that, he had a big laugh and a big smile. I miss his company, he was probably somebody I would sit and talk with about the stars and planets and I could have my other worldly chats with Jay. Show less «

[1997] I don't really see myself as having a clean cut image. I see myself as quite a normal lad. I smoke. I drink but I don't do drugs. Drugs scare me. I see them as hiding from real life. Maybe some people are musically inspired by them [drugs], but it's a shame. I feel you can do without. Show less «

[1997; about his time as a member of Take That] It bores me now. I suppose I was trapped in the little bubble that was Take That. I remember the day they announced we'd split up. I was probably the happiest about it. It was a relief. I lost my identity a little bit - out there with four other lads who all have very strong personalities... I probably became a little bit of everybody I came into contact with. I wasn't a very confident person then. Show less «

If I was a gay man, I would have found Jason [Orange] the most appealing [of all Take That members], then maybe Robbie [Williams] or Howard [Donald]. Gary [Barlow]? Maybe now. But I wouldn't have fancied me. Show less «

[1997] I'm trying to be more honest, more myself in terms of image. It's kind of difficult. In Take That you used to be given a selection of clothes to choose from. Now you've got to think, 'What do I want to wear?' Show less «

[1997] Sometimes, I feel I could send myself mad. Other times, I wish I was mad. My head won't stop.

[commenting on Melinda Messenger's acknowledgment that she had a breast enlargement operation and discussing looks in general] I don't think the body really matters. Show less «

[1997; on his former Take That bandmates] We're close in that we spent six years of our life together. But none of them are really my best friends. We could lie forever but they're not like your best mates, you know? Robbie [Williams] will never phone me. I always phone him. I read interviews and I hear the lads say, 'Yeah, we speak to each other now and again.' I think they say it because they're scared to let go; they think they can't have success without being seen as part of that band. Show less «

[1997] I was always seen as the cute little lad who smiles and takes his shirt off. I wanted to show that there was a lot more to me. I was always being told I couldn't do it from so many channels, probably even from the band. So, I wanted to hold my head up high and be proud of what I achieved. Show less «
