Shane Filan Quotes

I’m more of a debit card person, and I live in the ‘now’. I don’t like credit cards anymore. I try to live with whatever I can afford and don’t try to put myself in an awkward position. I’ve done that before Picture Quote #1

When you look at bands like Take That, who have come back bigger than ever, you can see there will always be a market for good pop bands Picture Quote #1

You shouldn’t end a band like Westlife and not be financially secure to some extent, but I wasn’t at all - it was the complete opposite. But you look at stuff then, ‘Well, what do I have? I don’t have money but I have a great marriage, three healthy kids, and I have my voice. I’ll just start again.’ Picture Quote #1

When you realise that money doesn’t actually make you happy, it’s a quick fix to have things you’ve always wanted, but then when you have it, you realise that’s not what actually makes you happy. It’s more about having a great marriage and happy children; that’s what life’s all about Picture Quote #1

You’ve got to go down the road you naturally go down, and for me it was pop, folk country, just feel-good music. I suppose most of my songs are very up-tempo Picture Quote #1

Every year, we couldn’t believe it, and even when I look back on it now, to sell 14 million singles, 50 million albums and sell out arenas and stadiums, what Westlife achieved was crazy. It’s like One Direction probably don’t realise how big they are. They’ll look back one day and think, ‘Holy God, that was pretty amazing.’ Picture Quote #1

I think that as a band, we find joy, and we love what we are doing. We are very good friends, so we get on very well, and we have a lot of respect for each other. We have a lot of respect for what Westlife is. We have a very, very solid and strong fan base all over the world Picture Quote #1

I didn’t really like ‘You Raise Me Up’ at the time we recorded it; now it’s my favourite Westlife song Picture Quote #1

It’s a big deal to bring your family on the road, you know? I’d love to do it sometime, but you have to work out schools and all that Picture Quote #1

I put all my eggs in one basket and invested in property. I didn’t do anything internationally - it was all in Ireland Picture Quote #1

The couple of years before I was declared bankrupt were the roughest. The bank letters, the pressure, the stress was awful. You’re in this twilight zone of not knowing where your life is going, and yet you’re in Westlife. Everything was great with the band. I was earning money, and it looked good Picture Quote #1

When I had money, I felt pressure, whether it was to invest it or do good with it, and I couldn’t let it fizzle out. It was like I needed to prove to myself that I could look after it, only I did the opposite, but you have to take a chance in life Picture Quote #1

I’d like to keep singing - whether that’s small or big. To stop singing for a living would break my heart Picture Quote #1

For me, it’s never been about being famous. I just want to be a successful singer. I wanna work hard... If I’m in the papers, grace, but I want to be there for the right reasons - for my music Picture Quote #1

For Westlife, the music will never stop as long as our fans are around inspiring us to keep on making beautiful music together Picture Quote #1

My mum and dad ran a family cafe in Sligo for 35 years and worked long hours. We grew up in a very hard-working family and had a lovely atmosphere, as we lived above the restaurant. It definitely made me want to work hard, whatever I chose to do. As the baby of seven kids, I was definitely a bit spoilt Picture Quote #1

It’s amazing how lucky Westlife were and what we achieved. It’s very rare to have seven number ones in a row. Ridiculous in fact Picture Quote #1

I have worked long and hard to try to reduce my debts, and I am devastated that it came to this conclusion. I now intend to focus on the remaining dates of the Westlife tour and my commitments to the band before looking to rebuild a future for my wife, my three children and myself Picture Quote #1

You only live once, so live a good life! Picture Quote #1

Together with a team of financial and legal experts I have spent months exploring all possible alternatives to bankruptcy but to no avail Picture Quote #1

My wife is my best friend. The thought that people are afraid to go home to their partners for fear of being abused physically or emotionally makes me feel sick. It’s not easy but you need to get help and get out Picture Quote #1
