In a word... aaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwww!!!! 198.Nick says in his spare time -- there's almost nothing he'd rather do than spend time with his family -- he misses them when he's on the road. 199.They all make sure to thank their fans after appearances -- they know without us (and God) they wouldn't be where they are. The funny thing is -- after a concert, or reading the "thank yous" on the CD booklet, and they thank you, you're thinking "NO -- thank YOU!!!!!!" 200.They've said the fans reaction is the most rewarding thing. 201.They haven't let the success go to their heads yet.
