"I have to know someone really well before I'd even kiss them."
"If I had a girl I'd love to see her in my clothes. It's real romantic."
"I love these guys . . . oh gosh !!"
"I'm very soft, you know!"
"I feel like a corncob right now."
"I'm a barbie girl!"
"I snore! Just ask the others!"
"The water would have to be REAL warm."
"He's bein' a FREAK!"
"It's not that bad anymore!" (About his southern accent)
"I'm the... Crazy one of the bunch."
"We've got some brilliant fans. We get really excited when we're flying back into a country like Britain,
because we get to meet them again - we literally sit on the plane going, 'Oh, do you think Helen, or Louise, or
whoever, will be at the airport?'"
"I hope the success never stops. I want us to be around for a long time, but you have to take it step by step,
day by day, dealing with things that come your way in a logical manner. It's so easy to fall into your own
hype."
(What turns you on?) "Girls!"
"My ideal Saturday night would be to go to the park, play some basketball for an hour until it gets dark then
go back and have a shower at my house. After that I'd go and pick up a friend, not anyone in particular, and
go to the movies, or out for dinner like a date."
(What's been your most passionate experience to date?) "Oh man! It was a long time ago, I can tell you that much!It was over a
year ago. I don't want to go into details, but there was a sauna involved!"
"Most of all I like chasing girls."
"I remember once we were performing a song from the album on stage and I had to
sing the first two verses.
The dance routine was really difficult and I was just concentrating so hard I blanked out on the words. I ended up just humming along.
The other guys were useless. They were creased up laughing and didn't try to
help me out at all!"
"'Just to be Close to You' is a percappella song - it's like cappella. Our voices make the music but it also has
the drum track - it was very simple. It talks about being close and how that's what matters in the long run."
"If we've been to see a scary movie or something and we're sharing a room, and the lights are off when we
walk in Nick will go (whispering) 'It's dark in here, isn't it?' And he's not being funny - he means it!"
"We all look at ourselves in the mirror and say, 'Yeah, I look okay today.' It's part of the job, being aware of
how you look."
"We've wanted to get back to the UK for a long time now, but what we want people to realize is that we're
trying to conquer the whole world and that means we have to visit all these different countries.
Unfortunately, it doesn't leave us much time in each place, but what I want everyone to realize is that the
fans have always been, and always will be the most important thing. After all, we'd be nothing without them."
"Actually, I have to say that I don't believe in having a sexual realtionship outside of marriage."
"Of course I like to look at pretty girls in the street. What hot-blooded boy doesn't."
"We've all got pretty smelly feet!"
"When we picked the name Backstreet Boys we intended it to last forever. When we get older, when we
grow up, we're gonna keep it like the Beach Boys did y'know. If we felt it was necessary we could drop the
Boys and call ourselves Backstreet."
"When I'm on the road the thing I miss most is sleeping in my own bed. When I get home I love sinking into
my own sheets. I miss my pillow and duvet. Hotels are really uncomfortable. They're either too hard or way
too soft."
"If we've been to a scary movie or something and we're sharing a room, and the lights are off when we walk in, Nick will go 'It's
dark in here, isn't it?' And he's not trying to be funny he means it!"
"I'm his big brother and I'm gonna knock him out!"
"I'm married to these guys..."
"I take the mickey out of Howie bcause it takes so long for him to do everything. And Kevin, cause he's the
oldest - if he doesn't laught with us, we say 'You're too much of an old man to understand our jokes."
"If I had a girlfriend I would probably go anywhere for her. If I had to go anywhere for one of my family, I
would do that too. For anyone I loved or cared for I would do anything."
"I have two scars where I had my appendix taken out, but only the people who know me really well get to
see them cause they're at the bottom of my tummy! I've also got a scar on my head where I head-butted a
table when I was 12."
"We're not perfect."
"I snore. Just ask the others!"
"AJ is to blame for this."
"AJ- he's just a lunatic!"
"Boner, that's what we call him!"
