"Nothing
like pain to inspire a good record!" Darren
|
|
|
"You
know if we were Spice Boys, I'd be Hairy Spice!" Darren
|
|
|
"The
airlines lost some of our baggage and now I'm wearing my
manager's underwear as a consequence of that!" Darren
|
|
|
"I'm
happy, I love my job, I'm a millionaire, what do I have to
complain about?" Darren
|
|
|
"We
try to be in... try to be hip... but we can't!!!" Darren
|
|
|
"The
weirdest one for me was the transvestite who wanted us to sign
her breasts. We did it!" Darren
|
|
|
"See
what happens when you write songs , they make you do stupid
things in front of the camera!" Daniel
|
|
|
"Without
success, we'd still be writing songs, with success, we're
doing it and enjoying it more." Daniel
|
|
|
"I
have no delusions about my level of celebrity; I'm not Michael
Jackson, even though when I was younger I used to think I was!"
Darren
|
|
|
"We're
not savage at all. We're quite polite and quiet." Daniel
"We hate gardening as well." Darren
|
|
|
"Listen
to our album, then listen to a Backstreet Boys album, and
you'll see the difference. If you don't see the difference,
then you weren't meant to be a fan." Daniel
|
|
|
"...well,
we could be fat and bald and go..I was a pop-star once."
Daniel
|
|
|
"I
think the one thing that I love about this career, is that it
has taught me that you don't have to sell your soul to sell
records. I think I was always afraid of that, and I don't
really fit in with the whole celebrity room. I don't really
have celebrity friends." Darren
|
|
|
"I’m
always aware that I’m in the front of every photograph, but
it’s not because I step in front of him. Daniel takes two
steps back. People just assume I’m an egomaniac."
Darren
|
|
|
"Go
after your dreams ‘cause you never know how easy they may be
to achieve." Daniel
|
|
|
"We're
gonna take you on a tour, through here (points to heart). It's
gonna get a little dark but I will see you on the other
side." Darren
|
|
|
"I
think I'm a great friend. I'm very loyal and very
loving. I think I can be frustrating at times. I'm
very emotional, if I'm happy, I'm really happy. And if
I'm angry, I'm really really angry. But I think I am a
good friend to have" Darren
|
|
|
"If our music can give you five minutes peace in an otherwise difficult life, if it can make you forget about your troubles just for a minute, then it is completely worthwhile".
Darren
|
|
|
"I
really believe that you can create your own destiny by
wanting something bad enough." - Daniel
|
|
|
"I'm
the biggest Star Wars fan, I've even got a Darth Vader phone
that my manager bought me!" Darren
|
|
|
"Hey
babe, I'm from the Garden!" Daniel
|
|
|
"Affirmation
is a soundtrack to your life" Darren
|
|
|
I've
known Daniel for ten years and it's like he's my brother in
some ways. Like, I don't hang out with my brother, my brother
and I don't have that much in common but he's my
brother!" Darren
|
|
|
"I
think in some way, there aren't a lot of people making pop
music with sincerity, We offer a slight alternative to that --
for people not getting the 'N Sync vibe. We have simple,
honest music and a little something for everyone." Darren
|
|
|
"A
big section of our audience is young and female, Housewives
like our love songs, but then again, everyone likes to dream
about love." Darren
|
|
|
"I
was in Australia when I was called and told truly that 'Truly
Madly Deeply' had hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. That was
pretty amazing" Darren
|
|
|
"When
we first began, I didn't even think about being Australian or
being contained by nationality, I was proud of my nationality
but I looked on the world scene as my benchmark. I wanted to
make music that could be played in Germany or Italy or the
U.K. or America." Darren
|
|
|
"Australians
used to be afraid of success, We used to limit ourselves in
some ways, and we don't do that anymore. Australian film,
Australian fashion, -- certainly, Australian music -- is in a
really healthy period. " Darren
|
|
|
"If
we had thought about recording a second record, it would have
really colored the project, tainted it. It would have been an
album about fear -- fear of success and trying to match
something. Ultimately we just went back and made another
collection of songs that we wanted to hear." Darren
|
|
|
"I
don't have a hangover, 'cause I don't drink. But some people
in our touring party might have been up to 4 in the morning...
But I don't really think it's necessary to point the finger at
anyone, DANIEL?" Darren
|
|
|
"Our
music is pop, but people can differentiate between our songs
and 'N Sync's songs. There's just so much stuff around at the
moment - Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears are good but the
rest are crap, everything else could just go away please!"
Darren
|
|
|
"I
didn't have to sell my soul and shake anyone's hand or kiss
anyone's butt to get where I am, And if means that I'll never
be in, possibly on, the social pages of tabloid magazines,
then that's okay." Darren
|
|
|
"Darren,
he's a cheeky little kid who used to sing in the shower and
gets paid to do it as a man. But I am really just a
little boy" Darren on himself!
|
|
|
"All
the people who were calling me names and making my life harder
got themselves pregnant really young or wound up in jail. Me,
I'm a millionaire pop star!" Darren
|
|
|
"I'm
apparently amazing. I've got great lips, I've been told.
You'd have to be dead not to be able to kiss well with these.
I'm a very sensitive kisser, I'm not into the whole washing
machine tongue thing. I've taught all my partners how to kiss,
'cos if the kiss isn't there, it's not going to happen"
Darren
|
|
|
"What
I love about fame is that I have the opportunity to really
inspire people, not just the fans, but the band and crew.
You can take people on the road with you, and improve their
lives and make them feel part of something huge. And you
can pay off your parent's mortage or help out your brother.
Walk into a kids hospital with children dying of cancer, and
you walk in there and they smile. That's far more
important to me than getting my picture taken with Puff and
Jennifer" Darren
|
|
|
"I'm
either too famous or not famous enough. I'm not famous
enough when the bouncer won't let me into the *N Sync party to
dance to the new Madonna song, because he doesn't know who I
am. Or I'm too famous, and I'm lying on the beach and a
family of eight want to take a picture of me half naked"
Darren
|
|
|
"I
do get lonely on the road. I'm single, and I can't
imagine how I'm ever going to have a relationship, or even
meet anyone while I'm traveling. The great thing about
it is that the crew and the band become a surrogate family,
but there are some things that you can't make up for.
The last phone call at the end of the day, the end-of-day
wrap, it's so important to have someone special around"
Darren
|
|
|
"I'd
love to do a comedy, people are shocked when I say that, but I
think I'm one hell of a funny guy!" Darren
|
|
|
"I've
never dated anyone who knew who I was. They never had a clue
what I did for a living. I am skeptical of someone looking at
me and saying, 'Yeah he's got a lot of money and the whole
fame thing', 'cause I'm not into the fame thing at all"
Darren
|
|
|
"I'm
not that famous. There are levels of fame, like the Michael
Jackson or Madonna famous, where you can't go anywhere because
you are you. I wouldn't like that. I have this really quiet
life when I'm apart from Savage Garden. When I'm stopped on
the streets, people might say, "You're the guy from
Savage Garden," but not, "You're Darren Hayes."
There is a certain amount of anonymity there" Darren
|
|
|
"Music
is like fashion. You never quite know where it's heading"
Darren
|
|
|
"I
don't really expect people to know who I am anyway. In fact, I
met Britney Spears the other day at a party and I don't think
she knew who I was. I was chatting away to her and I think she
just thought I was some nutter. She seemed quite pleased when
I told her I preferred her to Christina, though..."
Darren
|
|
|
"Anyone who's
ever seen me at a photo shoot will know that it's very
difficult to get me to do anything that I don't want to do.
I'm not a puppet. I'm like 'N Sync - there are no strings
attached!" Darren
