Guy: (on getting married to girlfriend, Julie) We’re taking it slow. The only answer I have is that I’m not in the head space of getting married. I’d be too selfish as a husband because I’m so caught up in trying to get my stuff going.
Guy: (asked if there is more or less pressure recording his 3rd album) I make music for the enjoyment of people, not just myself, o you’re always nervous about how it’s going to go down. But I’m certainly confident in what I’ve done.
Guy: I dropped off the face of the earth for over 5 months, refusing press so I could make this album. People in management and my label were a little worried that the lack of exposure would cause people to forget and move on. Despite their fear I stood firm and went away in hope of making the best album I could in the time given. To come back after that time and have 'Out With My Baby' go number 1 was an absolute delight for me.
Guy: It's beyond anything I have ever even dreamt of to enter the charts at number 1. My entry into the music industry is a strange one. With this whole strange process, there's no building into it, it really is straight to the top, regardless of the quality of the release. I guess the only way to go is down, that is said with a realistic frame of mind as opposed to a pessimistic one.
Guy: (on taking part in the reality show, It Takes Two) I ummed and aahed about it for a while. I wasn't sure about entering TV land again, but the thing that matters in music is music itself. I don't care about the coolness factor.
Guy: (on his ‘It Takes Two‘ partner, Sarah Ryan) I don‘t see myself as a teacher - I find that a little daunting. I‘m more just a friend who‘s done a but more than she‘s done and I‘ll just give her some pointers along the way.
