Take That: In their own words

Robbie Williams on meeting Gary Barlow for the first time "He's got these Converse 100s on with an Italia '90 jumper. I just looked at his trainers and thought: Knob." Gary on meeting Take That "They looked like they all looked after themselves. They dressed well; they were all quite fit. And that was the first time I was kind of: God, I've gotta work at this." Robbie on tour pressures "You become to get annoyed by people's egos." Jason on Robbie's departure "When Robbie left I didn't feel that much. For whatever reason, Robbie and I didn't get on that well in the band." Mark on Robbie's departure "I didn't really think about it that much. I just know that I had two weeks to learn how to rap." Robbie on Gary's songwriting "I remember genuinely thinking he's a genuinely crap songwriter." Gary on the success of Angels "I've never laid in bed wishing I was Robbie Williams, but I guess I lay in bed wishing I had his career."
