Did I say that?! Do you know of any quotes said by Ronan? Whether they're funny, inspirational, cheeky, emotional etc., - Let us know. On music.....
"As soon as I left Boyzone, all of a sudden the screaming stopped but luckily sales didn't, so I don't regret a thing." "Keating Hits No.1 in America". That would be nice, thanks very much. "I could have stayed with Boyzone and made another album, but I'm very adventurous. I like a challenge." "I could write a rock or dance track if the mood took me" "I don't see myself as a superstar. I look at George Michael. That's who I think of as a superstar." If it should all end tomorrow I wouldn't complain" "I like being in the studio and being on stage. That's why I do this. I get a buzz out of that. I don't do it for the celebrity aspect of it. "I hate it but you can't go out in town without bumping into a journalist so you become part of the celebrity world." "I’m in the studio today and it’s really nice to take time to make the album I want to make" "In the past, I was trying to keep the old Boyzone fans happy," he explained. "I don't have a problem with it (the boyband image) and I'm not trying to break away from it at all." "I spent a month with Gregg Alexander in Dublin and I have to say I’ve written the best stuff I’ve ever done with Gregg" "It’s a very fickle industry and it could all be over for me in the morning" "The music industry is a tough place to be at the moment" "When fans come up to me and say they want to sleep with me, I just laugh and say "Nah, you don't." It's embarrassing." On love.....
As a parent I have a duty to protect my children until they are at an age when they can protect themselves and that’s what I’m trying to do as best I can "I couldn't believe I had let my son down like that. I was disappointed in myself because he didn't ask to be photographed." "I don't call Disney World and ask them to close for the day so we can make a private visit" "I look at other women but I’m dreaming of my wife" "I want to see my kids grow up. My Mum never got to see her grandkids grow up, and that's a tragedy." "My Mum inspires me and I regularly have conversations with her in my head" "My wife, children and family are my biggest inspiration and I’d do anything for them" "My wife is amazing, she’s got great strength and we really take it one day at a time. She’s the one that pieces all the puzzles together; I just go out and do it. I really take my hat off to her" "We are absolutely thrilled, Jack and Marie can't wait to have a new baby sister or brother" "We had a scan yesterday and the most beautiful little child is in my wife's tummy" "We love each other and that's the greatest thing in the world" "While the plane was circling, I thought: 'Am I going to see my wife and kids ever again?'" You get married to be with that person; you don’t get married to be apart and that’s something that I’ve seen with a lot of people in this business "You know what true love is when you find it" On life....
Early on, Bono said to me, "Don't read all your press or you might end up believing the hype." On being asked what he would like as his obituary headline: He had love, life and happiness. That will do for me. "Everyone was just sat there looking at this woman going blue. I was thinking she’s going f*cking blue man!" "I don’t want my mother to have died in vain" "I have a great respect for Louis and I'd hate to hurt him but it was something I had to do. Some relationships have a certain shelf life. If you go beyond that you can end up not being friends." I don't like posing and photographers drive me crazy because they always take the same shot 10,000 times. "I just wish my mother was alive because she'd be loving it, seeing me, her baby - because I was always the youngest in the house - with my children." I know I'm a lucky focker to do what I do and have what I have, so I wouldn't change a thing. "I know it's cliched but since I've become a Dad, I've become so horrified by the suffering of other children." "I loved Louis to bits we were like that, he was like a father to me and it hurts me, it upsets me and he knows that it hurts me." "I'm not scared of growing old, at least I try not to think about it . You have to respect age rather than fear it, although the idea of losing my hearing is frightening." "I still miss mam more than anything in the world. The one thing I learned is that you're never going to deal with it. Ever." "I thought I was signing an autograph and it was actually someone’s bill" "It's easier to be nice than it is to be rude" “It’s incredible the spirit of the people here in Thailand.” "I want to climb Kilimanjaro, I want to act in a movie and I want to keep raising money to fight cancer" "I want to have a family and make records, so that's what I do. "I wasn’t into naked girls I just wanted a bike". "Journalists make me out to be some kind of angel, but I have a crazy side and bet I could drink most people under the table! I'd even throw TV's out of a hotel window if they weren't so heavy!" "Kids are actually a good way of de-stressing as they make you look at things very simply and they help put things into perspective" "Life is good and I'm feeling great" Louis really hurt me, but it's done now and I have too many good things in my life to bother worrying about all that. "My biggest wish is that my children have long and happy lives" On being asked who or what makes him smile: "My children, my wife, sunshine, holidays, life. My kids are hilarious. They crack me up. They make life real and I love being around them." "My kids have come to an age now where they’re an inspiration to me and I’m starting to live my childhood through them again." "No woman wants to lie up there and get her breast checked, no man wants to lie up there and get his testicles checked but it has to be done, if you want to live a bit longer that’s what it’s about and we have to be more aware and it’s as blunt as that." On being asked about his biggest bugbear: Rude people. Rudeness drives me insane, particularly people who go out of their way to be rude to others. "The birth of my children getting married to Yvonne and obviously the no.1 singles and albums they still excite me, I still get a buzz" On humour.....
"Every time I'm needed for a shot people are going: "Talent coming through", and I'm saying, "Don't call me talent please, me name's Ronan." "Give us ya money!” give us ya money!” On being asked what would be the headline he would dread most: Oh Fock — He's Pressed The Button!" "I am the worst joke teller in the world! I just can't do it! I get them round the wrong way and they don't make sense, but I think they're hilarious. I'll be laughing away but no-one else'll know what I'm going on about!" "I believe in ghosts. Who knows where the spirits may end up? I believe because I'd be afraid that if I didn't they'd come and haunt me to prove it!" "I heard a filthy joke last night but it's so dirty I can't tell you it. I can't think of any safe clean jokes at all" "I made an eejit of myself" I once subscribed to Billboard and I got back from tour and there was a pile of them still in their plastic wrapping and I thought, I'm not fockin' doing that again. I read recently that I've bought an island off the coast of Ireland. Why would I buy one there — it's too fockin' cold! The Caribbean maybe. "It was the love scene where they’re in the elephant and she’s sliding up his leg trying to take his trousers off and here’s me toddlin’ in and she’s …..And he’s there and I just can’t handle this!" "I've signed breasts. I've signed bums. I've signed everything" "I want the world and I want it now"! "I was coming through the town there in Johnstown, a young girl comes up to me and shakes me hand and goes “Well ya small!” she says. I said thanks very much you are too." "Jack loves dancing to ‘Who let the dogs out’?" "Jesus Christ what the f*ck was that?! What the f*ck was that?!” "Kilimanjiro" "So if there’s anybody in here that knows anybody at the airport, I’m sure there is. Somebody probably owns the airport!" "They say shoes will stretch that's bollocks!" "Welcome to tea on Tuesdays" "Where would ya be with no bell on ya bike and ya knickers ringing?" "Why does there seem to be rain on the wing when we're above the clouds?" On himself.......
Everybody thinks that I am this clean-cut, nicest guy-in-pop character. That's fine, but I didn't get into this to be in the press, I got into it for music. "I am not trying to wash my hands of Boyzone. When people say I am, it makes it look like I'm trying to be this rock-and-roll star, which I'm not. I'm just not the type who ends up hanging out of a woman somewhere or falling out of Stringfellows." "I can be wild and dangerous, I was worse before I had children. I've calmed down a bit now." "I don’t care about trying to be cool – I am who I am" "I don't like people spending a lot of money on me. I like something cheap but useful" "I don't think I'm good-looking; in fact I think my nose is disgusting!" "I don't want to look at myself in 10 years time and I'm fat with a big belly and 10 chins." "I feel very blessed and very lucky and I think we need to give back and this is how we give back" I got my teeth done because they were focked "I like me bikes a lot" "I look at pictures of myself five years ago and think, "How did I ever wear that?" "I love chocolate and Jack Daniels in any order" "I love to laugh, just to be happy. And I love people around me to be happy. It bothers me when they're not." "I'm an awful worrier. It's something I have inherited from my mother. Like mother like son. She has me the way I am." I'm a fockin' worrier, man, and I get very stressed "I’m just the father ya know; there’s no discs hanging on the walls. I go to the grocers store, pick up the kids from school I’m as normal as any father" "I'm the most trustworthy person you'll ever meet! I'm very, very trustworthy and I am very, very genuine..." "It doesn't bother me how people see me. I am what I am. I don't give a f**k about other people's opinions of me." "It’s crazy but I can stand on stage in front of 10,000 people and feel fine but put me on the first tee and in front of a few cameras and I‘m a nervous wreck" "I've just been voted Top Male Idol but when I look in the mirror, I don't see a heart-throb -- just plain old Ro from Dublin" "I wasn't a great fan of school!, I did love English though and was heavily into sport. But I played truant a lot" "I wish I was in better shape I’d love to have a six-pack for example, but I don’t have the will power" "My mam always reared us to think you don't get something for nothing. So it was always about hard work. I was never afraid of hard work. I like standing back and thinking I achieved that because I put the f**king work in." On being asked who was the first person who saw him naked: "Myself, this morning, in the mirror. It wasn't a pretty sight." "One of the oldest alternative remedies I’ve tried was shark fin soup which I was given once when I was in Korea. I was given it as a remedy for sickness but it tasted so disgusting it only made me worse." "The kids think I'm mad!" "The nicest thing somebody ever said about me was, I'm a decent, honest, warm and kind hearted human being" |
