Here is an interview I liked of Shane. (Popstar! Magazine)
How do you know if you're in a "boyzone"?
Well, I dunno. The name Boyzone doesn't mean @#$%!-all, to be honest. Plain and simply, it's just what we called ourselves five years ago. It's nothing to do with a boyzone or this, that or the other. It's just a name now, that's all.
Is your eyebrow shaved or do you have a scar?
Yeah. Half an accident, the rest for fashion.
What's your tattoo?"
It's from the Bible. Basically, it says, "Don't judge other people." You know--basically. [Smiles] It's a bit longer than that....
What American cities have you been to so far?
[Laughs] Bloody @#$%! You just get on the bleedin' plane, you don't ask questions.
Why do you think American tastes are so different from tastes in other parts of the world?
I think it's just people as people. If they have a likening to a song, they'll buy it. If they don't, they won't buy it. End of story. It's just whatever your body moves to, as they say, quickest.
What have been your favorite tour stops?
I think like Bali and Bahrain and all them kind of exotic island kinda places. I mean, you have people singing your songs back to ya and we're just five geezers from Ireland, a small little country, do you know what I mean?
How do you decide disputes?
Majority.
Does management get a vote? [Playfully] Oh, yeah! @#$%! management, you know what I mean? We're the band. What we say goes.
Your first TV appearance years ago is infamous for not going too well. How did you recover?
It's not that it didn't go really well. It's, eh, we decided to be a band on a Thursday night and management decided to put us on TV on Friday night, you know, and I think that a lot of people either expected us to either go and sing or to play or to do something. But it was more just an introduction to say, "Look, we're a band." I mean, we don't even know why we did it. In the beginning of things, everybody's a guinea pig.
If you were a teenage girl--
[Smiling along] Yeah?
--Who would be your favorite member of Boyzone?
[Proudly] Ah, me of course. Absolutely. I'm not saying any of them @#$%!s have to say me. I think for me, I'm very, very individual when it comes to our band. As far as public appearances are concerned, I'm very, eh, I'm knid of the one who will always be louder than everybody else, not in mouth but in style
Did you mind Mercury suggesting changes to Where We Belong for the American market?
You gotta go with them because a band and a record label are a unit and you gotta work together and you gotta make them happy so they feel they're a part of the project so they'll work for ya. We combined our ideas and that's the way to do it.
Are you sure you want to invade the US? This is probably the last spot where you can roam the streets unmolested!
[Laughs] It could be, yeah. Ah! I think everyone looks upon every band to be successful in the US. If you do conquer the States, you're a different level of band. Until you do that, you're just the same as everybody else.
