So...you wanna know what's on the minds of the five hottest guys in the music biz??? Well read on to find out!

* "First and foremost I want to thank God who makes all things possible. My life has truly been blessed."

* "I wish I had A.J.'s voice. it's got a great balance between a raspy nature and sweet soul funk."

* "With all the touring that we do, and with our schedules, I don't have a great deal of free time.
I want to make the most of the time that I do have so I can get my personal life in order."

* "The perfect date for me would be a quiet dinner and good conversation. If the vibe is there, maybe a romantic walk in the park or the beach, something like that."

* "This question always seems to come up eventually. We are going to stay together as long as we have fans that will support the music that we are producing. We love what we do and we want to make people happy and proud."

* " Success has alienated me from my peers a little. It's not as if I don't enjoy being part of one of the world's most popular groups, but the fame changes you. You never know what's around the next corner."

* "I think I'm very honest. I don't have anything to hide. There are some things that everyone keeps to themselves and it should remain that way."

* "I like to check out the local music scene downtown ( in Orlando ). I like to hear live bands. Lately I've been checking out this swing band downtown. We like to listen to music and go to clubs because that inspires us as far as new dance moves. Different types of music inspires us to write songs and stuff."

* "I remember when I was in kindergarten, my teacher got me up in front of the whole class and spanked me. I was always getting spankings from teachers because I disturbed the class. I was very lively - too lively!"

* "I was always goofing off, always laughing in class."

* "I bite my fingernails. I've bitten them all my life. My Mom was always like, ' Get your fingers out of your mouth!' I've tried to stop and it's something that bothers me because when I'm signing autographs, the girls are like ' You bite your nails!' But I still do it!

* "I'm usually shy till I get to know a person, then I turn into a ham."

* "I buy things for my family and bring them on the road. Of course, I bought a house."

* "I've been given so many gifts, and I'm so grateful for the chance to give to others. "I'll never take all these wonderful things for granted. I could have died, but I didn't - that means there's something I've still got to do. And I plan to do it!"

* " Since we started we've been really lucky with some of the peole who support us - we've got some brilliant fans."

* " When you hug someone it really gives them an alternate support system. It shows them that they have someone they can depend on. It's a lot like having faith."

* " I love hugs whenever I can get them, for me they're better than kisses."

* " Sometimes I think, hey, I'm just out of high school. I'm just a regular guy... but when I look out into those faces in the audience I see the girls screaming and crying..."

* " I love puppetry and have always enjoyed it since I was a child. I developed skills as a puppeteer at a young age because it was an activity that I could do when I was bored and alone."

* " I was sort of awkward as a child and didn't really fit in until the last few years of school....Usually, I was always busy with auditions or voice lessons so I didn't have time for many friends."

* "I mentioned in a recent interview that I liked Panda Bears and now fans are throwing them at me right and left during concerts.I like them as a symbol because I think they represent a non-racist frame of mind. It sort of brings the idea of black and white together. I think I may even get a Panda tattoo."

* "The Backstreet Boys only sing live or five-piece harmony, acappella. We just want to make everyone realise that we are real. There is nothing fake about us!"

* "I'm dating someone new but I'm not saying too much - I don't want to jinx myself. All I really want is someone who will let me do everything for her. Beautiful eyes are important and as everyone knows, I love long, sleek fingernails."

* I like blondes, but it's what's inside that really counts. She has to have a great personality and a good sense of humour. I love to laugh and having a girl who is happy and positive means a lot to me."

* "I'm a very free and loving guy, and I try to have fun with life and not take things too seriously."

* "I'm definitely the prankster of the group....I like to do anything I can think of to these guys."

* "My range is from old rock to alternative music to rap...I love R&B because that's what we sing." You should see my CD case. I have Wu Tang, Metallica, Journey. My favourite singer - he's almost my idol - is Steve Perry from Journey. I love Journey."

* "A lot of people out there don't get to do all the travelling that we get to do. We're very fortunate."

* "I started at a young age, twelve, and I have gone through a lot, and he wants to do the same thing. Why not pass on everything that I know, and almost lead him past the rocky roads?"
