“My therapist also said, if I was your boyfriend I’d dump you’ - Will Young
“As a man, watching ‘Roar’ I felt uncomfortable, but in a good way.” - Alex Andreou
“For me, this wasn’t a ‘Roar’, more like a squeak.” - Craig McLean
“I'm a bit disappointed with Skinty Fia as the rattling punk energy in the first two records is gone… maybe they’ve lost some of their spark since moving away from Dublin.” - Craig McLean
“The main thing about ‘Hard Cell’ is that I just didn’t find it funny; it falls a bit flat.”- Siân Pattenden
