"I've probably got the biggest guts of all the others! I'm an understanding listener, but in the same way I've not much patience and am very bad on keeping secrets. I'm old-fashioned, romantic, sensitive, personal and unique. I'm unique in the way that the guys think that I'm a little strange sometimes, when I wear my crazy clothes, hats and sunglasses. I wear all different kinds of hats, in all colors and shapes."

Howie- "Is the quietest and the shyest. He's a charmer and a gentleman. He's honest, religous and down to earth. a really nice guy. I know Howie closest on a persoanl level, but we've also known each other the longest. but I've also felt very close to Brian since he joined us."
Brian- "Is the clown of the group. Wherever we go, he tries to get the attention, which he likes. He often does something crazy then. He also makes us laugh when we're down."
Nick- "He was only 12 when he started and has grown up in this group. He's still learning. In the beginning he was like a baby, now he's a young man. Now he don't let the girls blow his mind like they did in the beginning. He starts to understand the concept of everything.
