What would you most like people to know about you? "I love songwriting. I've already written seven songs for the next album. Our first CD featured a lot of other people's songs, but for the next one we're gonna have more say in it."
How would your mum and dad describe you? "Always on the move, always doing something. There's no way I can just sit and do nothing. But these days I make the most of relaxing."
What is your earliest childhood memory? "I'll never forget the first time I came to England. I was about six, I had a little red raincoat, red wellies and a hat!"
Are you a good judge of character? "Yeah, I know straight away when people are fake and just want to know me because I'm in Westlife. When you look into someone's eyes you know whether their genuine, especially girls. You can tell they're not interested in what you're saying, and they're just thinking, "My God I'm sat with someone out of Westlife!"
Do you meet a lot of people like that, then? "Oh yeah, so many. I just say "I've got to go now!". I'd never snog a girl who treated me like that."
How romantic would you say you were? "Very romantic. People probably think i'm the kind of guy that goes out with loads of girls, 'cause I was in the papers eight times in three months and only one of them was true! The funniest was when they said I was going out with Hannah from S Club. I was going round her house to her flatmate who I've been friends with for ages."
What sort of romantic things do you like to do? "What makes me happy is doing things that make the girl smile. I love it. I was seeing a girl who was really into 70s music so I got as many 70s albums as I could for her birthday. Some guys would buy her flowers or jewellery, but I knew there was this band she really lved, so I knew it would make her really happy."
Ever been in love? "Ooh yes!"
How many times then? "Once. I got my heart broken. She's one of the nicest people I've ever met. but because of what I'm doing, it was hard to carry on the relationship."
Is it weird that so many girls fancy you? "I don't think they fancy me - it was only when I got into this band that they started paying attention to me. All of us lads know we're not models or anything, we're just boys in a band."
What do you look at first in the mirror? "It's usually my hair. And I always check to see if my chin is getting fatter!"
What are your best and worst features? "My weight is my worst attribute, it goes up and down so much. One week I'll be OK and be getting away with it, and the next I'm overweight again."
Who was the last person you hugged? "I hug people I work with every day, but the last person I gave a proper hug too was my mum 'cause she was going into hospital."
What makes you smile? "Like I said before, what makes me smile is making people happy. That's why I love being in the band so much - because I get to see all the girls smile!"
What TV show makes you laugh? "I really like watching Friends. When Friends in on it always really cheers me up."
When was the last time you bawled your eyes out? "A while ago when my mum's best friend died of cancer. I was close to her because we used to go on holiday together. I'm quite emotional and cry easily. In America recently we met these guys from Dublin and I had a tear in my eye talking about home."
When and how did you first learn about the birds and the bees? "I don't think that there was just one time or just one day. I think I picked it up gradually as I went along. My friends were all older then me so they probably told me."
Describe your bedroom... "I don't really have a bedroom anymore, but my mum tries to keep a room free for me. She puts all my mail on the bed - it's covered with letters when I get back. I've still got my Superman duvet cover on my bed though!"
What's your most treasured posession? "There are two things actually - my dad gave me a peice of rock that was blessed by a bishop and is meant to protect me. Then i've got a prayer book which my auntie gave me when I got into this band."
What's been the best moment of your life so far, Bryan? "The day I got into this band. It was weird 'cause at the audition they picked me and Nicky on a trial basis and were gonna choose between us. But in the end they decided to keep both and get rid of one of the others!"
How did you celebrate that night? "We'd made such good friends with Michael who was let go from the band, we just sat and tried to cheer the poor fella up."
Is there anything in life you that you worry about? "I worry about my family, especially their health. And I worry about the band not working out well."
When did you last lose your temper? "Recently, I was tired and stressed at work and I lost it over something really stupid. But I never really shout. I hate confrontations and arugments."
How tough are you? "I don't like fighting at all, but I can defend myself."
Have you ever been in a proper fist fight? "At school. Someone pushed my sister so I stuck up for her."
Are you scared about having a baby? "No, i'm really excited about marriage and having babies. But first, I need a few days off to meet the right person to do it with!"
Would you say that fame has ever been a burden to you? Yeah, of course it has. When you're tired and you've got time off and people still expect you to be a pop star. Even if you say, "Look i'm tired",they might accuse you of being arrogant."
How important is money to you? "Money has never been important, but now I've got some it's a comfort. Would I still be in the band if I only got £50 a week from it? Yeah, of course."
What do you most admire about Kian? "Umm...his strengh. If anything's going wrong, he sticks with it til it's right."
And what do you least admire about him? "His temper - he loses his temper very quickly."
This interview has been... The second best experience of my life. And I can't be telling you exactly what the best was!"
