  • Gary on Robbie being back: "The band is different with Robbie. We work in a different way. What we have now is too much talent in the room. When Take That are a four, Mark and myself are the leading songwriters. Jay joins in on the lyrics and Howard starts with the melodies.” (The Sun, 2011)

  • Mark on his hair: "Does my quiff make my shoes look big?"

  • Mark on tour nerves: “A few weeks ago I had a pre-tour panic, a bit of a meltdown, which I went through for a couple of days. Not much sleep, but I came through the other end and I’ve been all right since. But we’re confident with it now and I think the show’s going to be brilliant.”

  • Jason on being single at 40: “I have no problem with being single. In fact, I love it. The other lads have to go home early as they are with their partners and some of them have children. But I enjoy being single and being able to go out partying.”

  • Robbie on his current relationship with Gary: “My wife calls him my boyfriend, I call him my captain, to you he’s Mr Gary Barlow.” (2010)

  • Robbie on Gary: “Barlow will top himself when I crack the States, I know it.” (1999)

  • Robbie on joining another band: “If I had my time again I'd like to be in Boyzone.” (1996)

  • Gary on Take That as a five-piece: “I think even moving forward, I know we’re back with Rob right now, but we still see our future as a four-piece band. We see Take That as a four-piece band in general. When we came back in 2005 we had the conversation, ’Can we do this as four?’ Thanks to the fans who bought the records, we proved we can.” (Radio 2, 2011)

  • Gary on his Madame Tussuad's waxwork: “What annoyed me more was that when Take That came back and were successful again, my waxwork suddenly reappeared out of nowhere, yet slightly aged.” (2011)

  • Robbie on claims he’s re-joined Take That due to a struggling solo career : "F*ck off.” (2010)

  • Robbie on Take That getting naked again on stage: “If all else fails, nakedness in Trafalgar Square. We might have to get our arses out again.” (2010)

  • Gary on his rivalry with Robbie: "It was like a constant daily mock. It followed me everywhere. You just feel like a total loser. In fact, I remember asking the bank whether I could change my name on my card. I couldn't face my own name because even over the phone people would hear it and make some wisecrack.”

  • Jason on bullying Robbie: "He was the kid in the band and maybe I bullied him in some ways, not overtly but covertly. He took exception and rightly so. We had a lot of tensions going on and it's easy in a group for one person to become the scapegoat. I think we did that to a large extent with Rob." (2010)

  • Robbie on playing Glastonbury: "Absolutely not. There's going to be no Glastonbury, not for me. They pay you about five pence to be honest." (2010)

  • Howard on being 40: "I am very sensitive about my age. Gary will make jokes that I'm 46 or 47 and it really pisses me off. I feel like I'm still fit enough to go on, I don't feel my age."

  • Robbie on singing: “I'm a born entertainer, when I open the fridge and the light comes on, I burst into song.”

  • Robbie on Take That: “I am the only man who can say he's been in Take That and at least two members of the Spice Girls.” (2003)

  • Gary on his ideal superpower: “Flying for me, because it means I wouldn’t have to go on a plane again. I’d be able to fly. I don’t like aeroplanes, not a fan.” (Belfast Telegraph, 2011)

  • Robbie on singing: “I'm a born entertainer, when I open the fridge and the light comes on, I burst into song.”

  • Robbie on cake: "I have a problem with cake, particularly red velvet cake."

  • Jason on the Progress tour: "It'll be reet. It always is.” (2011)
