Quotes About Popularity

I had a difficult start to secondary school, missing the first month because of 'Mary Poppins.' Everyone knew who I was, who my brother was - McFly were huge by then - and had made their mind up about me. One girl made everyone's life a misery, picking on insecurities. But that's just teenagers.

You used to have those Saturday morning television shows. You had to do your bit. You had to go on and promote your new release. I quite enjoyed it, actually.
