What's something you wish people would stop saying about you?
Nick: i went on the internet one day and people were talking about me being overweight. i mean, i know i do kind of fluctuate with my weight and stuff...i'm really not that overweight for my size and my height and everything, but it really does hurt my feelings a lot when people say that. it's like, yeah, i really do have a stomach, but it's not like [ that bad ]..and people just kind of...i get picked on because of it.
Do the guys ever give you a hard time about your weight?
Nick: [ looks around and whispers ] Yeah, they do.
TB: What's the biggest misconception people have about you?
Nick: It's not really a MISconception but people tend to judge me just on my appearance. I get a lot of flak on things like weight and trivial things like that, sometimes I don't know what to do.
TB: Is it hard to ignore public opinion and just be yourself?
Nick: Not necessarily. But at the same time, I don't know whether I should be myself or should I do what the fans want me to do.
TB: Is there a big difference?
Nick: There's not really a big difference but there are small things that irk me when people say them. Like, I went out once and there were these girls talking about how fat I was. I was like, "wait a minute, just because I've got a stomach and I don't want to be like all those other boy bands and work out all the time..." That's not me. I don't try and do something in order to make people happy or in order to make them like me. And I guess it has worked because I haven't had to change myself.
Well, are you finished crying yet? I have one more thing to say. In my story, British Invasion, Kevin and Nick get into a fight about his weight. This does not neccessarily mean that I feel the same way as some of these awful people. I'm just depicting that in the story because I have an idea of what an ass Kevin can be.
