“I think I do a lot of things averagely. So I have to combine them. It looks impressive but actually I don't think I excel at any of them.”
“My dad worked 12-hour shifts in the Kodak factory - I remember creeping about when he was on nights - but he was also lead singer in a band playing in British Legion and working men's clubs. My earliest memories are of being sat at the back of a pub, falling asleep on the bench while my dad played.”
“Ever since I was a child, I've always been highly emotional. I'd feel excited one moment, then the polar opposite the next.”
“If the Fletchers are fed, the Fletchers are happy!”
“I always wanted to play Marius in 'Les Miserables,' I actually got offered the role but I had to commit to do it for six months, and as that meant I wouldn't have been able to tour with McFly I turned it down.”
“It's hard when you're writing for someone else. You obviously always want to do your best work, but sometimes you write and have a song idea and you're like, 'Oh, it's so good I want to keep it for us.'”
“I love being a hands on dad I can't imagine it any other way.”
“We're not idiots.”
“I've spent a lot of long car journeys listening to audiobooks, so I know firsthand just how amazing they can be.”
“It's hard not to use cliches when talking about parenthood.”
“Doing that on my own, the idea of touring on my own does not excite me very much.”
“When Giovanna was pregnant with Buzz, I was searching so much on what it's like to be a dad. If I can provide any insights that's obviously a really good thing to spread.”
“I never think about the message I'm putting across in a song.”
“I love reading interviews that we've done and seeing how we come across, and thinking, 'Mmm, maybe we shouldn't say that again.'”
“I'm just a bit awkward, but people think I'm rude.”
“I hated seeing myself on TV.”
“I always knew, deep down, that I'd love to be an author, but I don't think I really thought about trying to do it seriously until it was time to leave school and consider what I'd do next.”
“We had absolutely no experience in writing kids books and its a very competitive market. But we buy and read a lot of children's books and we felt that our books had that extra something we were always looking for.”
“I think we had a really nice level of fame.”
“I'd go to Starbucks and order a frappuccino and blueberry muffin and that was me for the day. Not only would I beat myself up internally if I consumed anything else, I'd be in a foul mood if we were working somewhere there was no Starbucks. It was an obsession - and a deeply unhealthy one.”
