It worried me when Britney snogged Madonna. It looked a bit fake. It screamed 'We're in this for the money.

We've always craved critical acclaim. But because out lifestyles were somewhat... colourful, it was decided that there must be something hokey about us, as if we weren't a serious band at all.

We were five heterosexual, good-looking men. We competed against each other for the sexiest girls... I won.

It's mine, and I'll wash it as fast as I like!

Unless you're married to a very suspicious partner, going out and having a drink with a friend - a female friend - is not a problem. Being seen at a club with someone isn't a problem. Being seen leaving their house at dawn, however, would be a problem. Fortunately I've never been in that situation.

That was the whole point in forming a band. Girls. Absolutely gorgeous girls.

Style's not something that you decide on on Monday and photograph on Thursday. You've been developing that for your whole life.
