A personal highlight was probably when we got a No. 1 in the U.K. and when the album went to No. 1 in America. The top four that week was us, Adele, Guns N' Roses and Bruce Springsteen. It was ridiculous seeing those names there. Being the first band from the U.K. and Ireland to go to America and debut at No. 1 is just unbelievable.

Everyone gets that second album syndrome.

My accent always works with girls. They like it, I have no idea why.

Fans always ask me to marry them so I'll have a lot of wives

There's always pressure on the second album - this one has to be the big one.

Dreams do come true, believe always. I dreamt every night of becoming a singer

I've got my old favorites like The Eagles and Bon Jovi.
