The adrenaline of performing on stage to a crowd - there's nothing like it.

For Westlife, the music will never stop as long as our fans are around inspiring us to keep on making beautiful music together.

Yes, it's true, I have bought a helicopter. I really like it. I can't fly it, but I plan to get a licence one day.

When you look at bands like Take That, who have come back bigger than ever, you can see there will always be a market for good pop bands.

Capitol Records were very keen for me to write and see how I got on; I think that is what defined my sound. The first session I had was with two young up-and-coming writers, Nick Atkinson and Tom Wilding, and I went into a session a bit nervous because I hadn't written that many songs before.

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.

I will definitely start in small venues, as I want to find my feet as a performer; the first shows that Westlife did was ten dates at Wembley, which was just crazy. We didn't have a clue what we were doing because it was so big.
