I come from a coal-mining, working-class background. My father was a coal miner.

I want to find out more about how the Backstreet Boys get their incredible sound. I've got both their albums and I would love to cover one of their songs

I love listening to new stuff, at home in LA I always have the radio on to hear what is happening.

Love is in the air everywhere I look around. Love is in the air every sight and every sound.

I think it's good that I had some experience of the real world before I became successful. You know, having to get up in the morning and going to work in construction.

I didn't have to play rugby that well, and I didn't have to play cricket that well, because I had this voice.

I don't think you can sing about certain things when you're a teen-ager or in your early 20s, because you haven't lived long enough. So I think living gives you character and that comes out in your voice.
