A Life in the Day: Darryn Lyons (Times online)
"Celebrities use the media when they can to sell a CD or book, but scream 'privacy' when it suits them"
"i got sucked into the showbiz world, chewed up and spat out"
"people are scared of my straight- talking image on television"
"many celebrities offer big money to stop pictures from being sold. I protect a lot of them but only if i'm friends with them. If i detest them, i don't.
"the biggest problem with celebrities is that they forget where they came from"
"Tony Blair made us money, but Gordron Brown doesn't"
"i'v been close to death at least three times. I shouldn't really be alive"
