"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 the girl 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're really
nice."
To do something romantic I would take her to the beach when the sun is going down. The
sky would be full of stars, and apart from the sound of the sea, it would be a very quiet and
intimate moment."
"A girl who is always agreeing with me would be a bit boring. I like the challenge, I like to
take risks, like having a argument for instance...But I hate girls who smoke, have bad breath,
or think they're better than anyone else."
"Love has no age"
"Faithfulness is very important to me...I would be incapable of cheating on my girlfriend. I
couldn't look at her straight in the eye. If I had a girlfriend, I wouldn't even need to look at
other girl."
"I can be shy around girls. The other guys have got far more experience."
"Just me, myself. 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."
"Every day, I get a lot of hugs from fans and the guys, but I don't get a proper hug every
day - I wish I did!"
"To walk into a store and see your single on a shelf, you can't believe its you sitting next
to all these artists."
"It's surprising, but really cool."
"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."
"I don't have many friends. I just have these guys."
"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."
"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."
"We sometimes get knickers thrown on stage, but they're not very aerodynamic so they
don't travel very far. We mostly get cuddly toys with phone numbers."
"I get homesick a lot. That can make me so emotional that I sometimes feel like crying but
never in front of anyone. No way!"
"I trust my mum 100%. She knows me very well and is capable of guessing my thoughts, I
love when she's there."
"I'm not quite as grown up as I could be. Whenever I get the chance to hang out with my
family in Boston I head straight for my little brother Aaron's room to play with all his toys."
"Being on my own, with just the silence of the sea, is such an escape from the constant
screaming of fans on a Backstreet Boys tour. Its something I need to do just to get away
from it all."
"I'm addicted to Nintendo! I play sports games and adventure games and role-playing like
Final Fantasy 3. I can't always do what I want to do, like play basketball, because I can't go
outside the hotel. So when I play Nintendo, I enter a different world and relax."
"When I come off stage I go straight back to the hotel. I love to take a long shower and
then go to sleep. I never seem to take too much time to drop off after a show. Generally, I'm
always very tired and can sleep anywhere."
"I'm pretty much okay with myself. I think the only thing is to just have fun!"
"Live life to the fullest. It's too bad we're not cats, but we only have one life."
