I have three children to take care; I have a wife. My job is to take care of them, and I can say it's a pretty cool job to have.

The couple of years before I was declared bankrupt were the roughest. The bank letters, the pressure, the stress was awful. You're in this twilight zone of not knowing where your life is going, and yet you're in Westlife. Everything was great with the band. I was earning money, and it looked good.

I put all my eggs in one basket and invested in property. I didn't do anything internationally - it was all in Ireland.

I love Ireland. I'll always be 100pc Irish. I get really excited when I go to Sligo; it's my home.

I don't think about success to be famous, because I've done that at the highest level, but it's all about my children.

For me, it's never been about being famous. I just want to be a successful singer. I wanna work hard If I'm in the papers, grace, but I want to be there for the right reasons - for my music.
