Quotes

Shannon: I am a normal Australian bloke. I do love a beer. But I'm no different to any young bloke you'll meet who's playing football, or surfing, or working. I want to enjoy my life and have a good time. (edit)
Shannon: (on turning to drugs and alcohol after his father's death) You can live well, do everything right, and still be killed. So I thought I'd have a crack at everything. I didn't let myself think about him (his father) when I was smashed. Consequently, I found myself getting smashed a lot. I got to a stage where I had to own up to it. I'd turned into a zombie on the lounge. I wasn't doing anything useful. (edit)
Shannon: (on performing at Deep Rock Drive in Las Vegas, which hosts internet-streamed concerts) It's about bringing talent that's never been on the world stage before to a global audience. This show goes out on the web in real time, it's live from Las Vegas, so it's scary as hell but I'm really looking forward to it. (edit)
Shannon: (on performing at the infamous Los Angeles nightclub The Viper Room) So much has happened at a place like that, just walking in it hits you like a tonne of bricks. It's going to be a real thrill to get my 45 minutes, or whatever it may be, on stage. There's something in that to write about for sure - being a shearer or being a tractor driver and then doing a gig at The Viper Room, I don't think that would happen too often. (edit)
Shannon: (On his single, "In Pieces") This song is such a strong ballad and has a personal message for me. It is a song which I wrote when I was 17. I think many people will be able to relate to the message in it. (edit)
