Marky [Mark Owen] has such good taste, you know, and he never boasts about what he's bought either. He'll turn up with a nice little car and you'll say "That's nice Marky." And he'll say "Oh I've had it for about six months now." Show less «

[on Jeff Wayne's "War of the Worlds"] That album, actually it's been an album that's sort of popped up throughout my career. It sort of got me off playing classical piano and onto synthesizers, that record did. Show less «

I get a good song for every 25 songs I write. So I've got to go through the process of writing 25 songs to get what I think is a good one. And that's a lot of time. Show less «

If Liverpool doesn't have the X Factor I'll eat this suit.

[asked what he wears in bed] Nothing. Not a thing.

Ladies, that's the sound of 3000 men who have been dragged to a Gary Barlow concert.

[on "Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush] I don't think you can listen to this song without feeling inspired, it could save anybody. The lyrics are so inspirational. Specifically I was having a very low moment in the 1990s and the song came on the radio. There have only been a very few times when I've had to pull the car over to listen to a song - this was one of them. Show less «

I dreamt I had fallen asleep on a Twix bar.

[to an X Factor contestant] The work that needs to be done to your voice is surgical work.

I'm just a jibbering wreck. I can't even watch a Disney film without crying anymore.

Every year, I swear I look forward to May the 4th just so I can say: "May the 4th be with you".

When One Direction announced their album was called "Four", I thought "Yes, they've lost a member!"

When we were at school, I think we were about 16, like just before I left school, we were doing this study on wheelchairs. So the school had got us some wheelchairs, and one of us would sit in the wheelchair and then someone would push. We were gauging the reactions of how people looked upon people in wheelchairs - were they helpful, were they dismissive and all the rest of it. Anyway, I decided to go renegade and went on my own. I was wheeling myself down this road and I came to a crossing, and someone tried to help me. And by helping me, they sort of tipped one wheel off the side of the pavement and I fell out of the wheelchair. Now, at this point, what do you do? Do you stand up and go "Listen, you know, I'm..." or go "It's a miracle!" or do you just lie there and let them help you back onto the wheelchair? Now that was my choice. And I acted it out, sadly, you know, that I couldn't walk... and they helped me back on the wheelchair. It was so embarrassing. Show less «

You can't give up. What's the point in giving up?

Oh, they [some horses in an enclosure in front of him] like me. Typical. [he does not like horses]

[to an X Factor contestant] You've matured like a bad curry, mate.

Tony Hadley, I think one of my top five favourite singers of all time. I just love his voice, it's just one of those voices you can relax to, even when he sings his up-tempo songs it's so smooth and silky, always loved his vocals, and I always loved the band Spandau Ballet. I'm a good friend of Gary's [Gary Kemp], I've known them throughout the years, and I just thought the songs were incredible. And as a career, as a body of music and a songbook, I think they have some of the best. Especially when you go to concerts, you don't want to be sat at a concert thinking "Is this singer going to pull it off tonight?" You don't want that at all, you want to feel safe and I always feel like I'm sat in the most comfortable armchair when I listen to his voice. Show less «

[asked how Take That decide who sings lead vocals on their songs] We use judo to decide.
