There's something intrinsically Australian about a bunch of brothers and school friends getting together as a band at a very young age and all pulling together as a band at a very young age and all pulling together as mates to make something happen.

But we got up there and decided to stick to this mix of power chords and funk and that's where it really started for us. In having the courage to take that decision. To take a gamble not just with our music but our lives

I still haven't come to grips with our success.

Every actor I know wants to be a pop star.

I've never tried to emulate anyone. I've never idolized people, I prefer instead to get off on attitudes.

Actually, I find it embarrassing being a pop star. I prefer it when people just treat me like anybody else, although occasionally there is a side of me, which is indulgent and I expect certain things because of my position. It's one of the perks.

There is an integrity to INXS, in the music, that makes it worthwhile.
