A LITTLE SOMTHIN SOMTHIN

It's probably no accident that Nick Carter was born in the same Jamestown, New York hospital as the legendary actress/comedienne, Lucille Ball. A firecracker from day one, you could regularly find "Little Nicky" dressed in nothing but diapers, bustin' a move, on the dance floor of his father's Yankee Rebel lounge. By fourth grade, after his family moved to Florida, Nick landed the lead in Phantom of the Opera. He was also a featured vocalist at Tampa Bay Buccaneer pre-game shows for two years. At age 12 he put in a winning performance on the 1992 New Original Amateur Hour, and did commercials for both the Money Store and the Florida State Lottery. Nick was offered a gig with Disney, but decided to go with the Backstreet Boys after that first night of harmonizing. During off hours, you can find Nick at home with his parents and four younger siblings. The drum set in his room gets a heavy workout and he spends lots of time jamming with two of his buds. Nick is a licensed scuba diver, enjoys the family motorboat and fishing, and loves poetry and football.

NICK QUOTES

"I know a lot of girls who are just friends- the way I prefer it. I don't really want to fall in love yet. I prefer to wait a little bit. To be honest, I've never really fallen in love. I've never felt this strong sensation...I'm still very young and I have lots of time for love. The day I find thegirl of my dreams I would spoil her rotten."

"It doesn't really matter to me as long as they have a good personality and they'rereally nice."

"Just me, myself. (yep, that's enough!) I'm a very ordinary, down to earth kinda guy and I hope that's all my girl would need."

"I don't believe in being mean to anyone. I'm a really peaceful person. That's something I get from my family."

"I'm not embarrassed about crying, but I'd try not to bawl in front of just anybody. I'd feel most relaxed crying in front of my mum or the guys."

"I don't get chatted up much. We're very busy all the time, so no one gets the chance to talk to us that much. That's OK- it can be cool to have a little bit of privacy."

"I've been seeing some weird stuff on the Internet. Like funky stuff, but nothing too bad."

"We are a group and it wouldn't feel good if I got all the attention. We get attention just because we're a good team."

"Backstreet Boys is the most important thing in my life. My life revolves around the group. We are very close - simply because we seem to spend so much time together."

"Its great to have people thinking about you. People we meet are always cool with us. We're very lucky.And we thank god for everything"

"We like to have a close relationship with our fans. I could go out with one of them but I don't think it could develop any further."

"Live life to the fullest. It's too bad we're not cats, but we only have one life." (hmm...so he's romantic, down-to-earth, peaceful, nice, sweet, talented, good looking, modest...and he's a deep thinker...what more could we ask for?)
