Shane On Westlife.
MARK

He’s very quiet, and can be very shy until you get to know him. He likes his privacy, but is a totally genuine guy - he sings all day. He’s got such a brilliant voice.

KIAN

We've been friends for years, and we see things quite similarly. I've always been close to him and we even went out with the same girls - but not at the same time! Kian works really hard, and worries about the band alot. He worries a lot about his hair as well! Kian has an angelic smile - which doesn't always hide the cheeky devil inside! He's happiest when he's standing on a stage in front of thousands of screaming fans, or talking business down the phone to Louis Walsh, or standing in the middle of a crowd of beautiful girls! And when Kian's not working he loves to shop - and Los Angeles is his fave hunting ground. He recently splashed out on a five-thousand-pound Rolex, and has a weakness

NICKY

Nicky’s a top guy and the person I talk to the most. We have a similar personality, the same taste in cars and girls. If I meet a girl and I’ve been out with her a few times, I’ll always ask Nicky for his opinion. He’s good at spotting girls for me too. Both of us like very sexy girls with long legs and high heels and when we’re out he’ll say: 'Shane, you’ll like her over there' and I won’t have noticed her. Or he’ll be sitting at the bar chatting to a girl and shout: 'Come over here Shane, there’s someone you should meet.' He’s nearly always right - he’s matched me up with a girl a few times! Nicky is definitely the most daring when it comes to fashion. He bought a £1,500 pair of sky blue leather trousers recently. And he always wears these stupid, lucky Irish green socks. He’s got about 10 pairs, all covered in shamrocks. Nicky’s a great guy. We’re always planning stuff together - we’d love to open a restaurant or a club together. I can talk to Nicky about anything - he really listens and gives me proper advice. He’s like an older brother and I look up to him an awful lot. He loves to shop as much as I do, and we’ve the same taste in clothes.

Westlife On Shane.

KIAN

Shane and I are very close. We are both very committed to making this band as successful as we can. We spend ages talking about songs, and about how the band is getting on. He’s good fun to be with.

MARK

With Shane, his character very much depends on his mood. If he's in a good mood he can be absolutely hilarious, but if he's not he just doesn't want to know. His biggest fault is that he's downright lazy. I was once at his house in Sligo and he had a video that was due back.The video store is 50 metres away, but he still got in his car and drove there. It's the same with his mobile phone. If his phone is in his bag on the other side of the room, he'll ask to borrow my phone rather than bother to get up and fetch his bag. But he's a very generous person and he's very fast to buy a round of drinks. If we go into a bar for just one drink, Shane will always be the one to pay. He's quite happy to spend his money. He's not as extravagant as Kian when it comes to shopping, but he does enjoy it and he gets quite choosy about the clothes he wears. I'll always ask Shane for advice on anything because there's a mutual respect. He's helped me out a few times and we've got a lot of time for each other, especially when it comes to singing. Shane is so talented. I'm convinced music will always be part of his life. Shane can be very, very funny. And he can also be very, very inattentive. Sometimes it takes ages and hours to get his attention. If he's doing one thing, then that's the only thing he's going to do!

NICKY

Shane is great and we get on very well, we have a good laugh and he can take a joke.He's pretty cool and very popular with the girls, but he can be quite vain, particularly about his hair. He can't pass a mirror without looking into it. He's quite into clothes, too, but he's got the worst fashion sense out of the whole band. He doesn't have a clue. We're always warning him the fashion police will be after him, so when he arrives in the morning in a dodgy outfit we pretend to go over and handcuff him. He'll happily wear white socks and shoes and jeans and bright colored trousers that don't match his shirt.But the worst ever was when we were in Tenerife to shoot the If I Let You Go video. We had a day off beforehand and were all down at the pool. He came down in a vest, really short shorts, flip-flops with socks, a bum bag tied to his waist - and a pair of shades. He just looked like a typical tourist, but the worst thing was he thought he looked really cool. It was terrible!

Shane In His Own Words.
* My Earliest Memory :

I remeber my first day at school. My mum brought me in, and I was bawling, crying. She had to lift me up for a big kiss - I was an awfully small child; no one thought I was going to grow! She left me in the classroom and, about an hour later, my older brother Finbarr came up to the window, looked in and pulled a hugh face! I started to roar...

* My First Kiss :

I was ten the first time, and i thought it was a bit weird. When I was twelve, i tried again. It was a bit sloppy, and i didn't know what to do. I wasn't sure what she thought about me afterwards because she was more experienced than I was. But between thirteen and seventeen I put in a lot of practice! I had a new girlfriend every week!

* My Ideal Girlfriend :

With the band it's very difficult. I date whenever I can. but it's hard for me to trust girls now, and to find one who loves me for who i am, and who is happy chilling out on a couch watching videos, rather than going to parties every night. I love good-looking girls with long legs who wear short shirts and high heels. I love girls who look after themselves, but I don't like them plastered in make-up. I hate girls who talk too much, but I have to be able to have a laugh with them, and they have to like what i do for a living. I hate big headed girls, even if they are beautiful.

* My Perfect Day :

I'd like to wake up somewhere in the countryside, and have a big breakfast out on a patio in front of a lake. Then I'd go for a walk with my beautiful wife and two kids - a girl and a boy. We'd stroll down to the lake that would have a few swans, and just relax. Then I'd go horse riding, have a big dinner with a few glasses of red wine, then go to bed and snuggle up. Someday, I'm going to site at that lake and look back over a good and happy life.

* Are you ticklish ? If so, where ? Yes. Everywhere.
