Up to 3 correct:
Not exactly a match made in heaven! You both have entirely different interests and the conversation would be in particularly short supply! Never mind, there's still four other Kids to choose from.
4 to 6 correct:
You're relatively compatible with Joe and an evening out with him would certainly be a pleasant affair. But remember that you'll have to join the queue!
7 to 10 correct:
Uh-oh! We hear wedding bells! This is definitely a heavenly pairing - either that or you peeked at the answers!
Joe speaks out with his view on everything under the sun!
On women:
"Girls say I'm cute. I don't think I'm cute. They think I am. I don't know why. It must be my big feet."
"My ideal girl? Someone who's independant yet beautiful. Someone who just wants to be happy and live a good life."
"In my mother's eyes I'll always be like, eight years old. So whenever I talk about a girlfriend I know that she'll be thinking I'm too young to see girls - so I'm real quiet about that."
"My friends think it's really funny. They laugh at it - not at me, but they laugh at girls going crazy over me."
On music:
"We're playing our songs for all you girls up there in the balcony. Those of you booing we don't care." (at the 1990 American Music Awards)
"The success and everything is great, but just being able to draw all these people together and have the ability to create a show and go on tour is all I want to do."
"I love the Frank Sinatra songs: I can sing those songs, I love them. I hope that someday down the line I can put out a really nice album of Frank covers and Nat King Cole songs."
On the future:
"Of course I still want to be famous when the New Kids break up. But really, all I want is the chance to perform, so even if I'm not very famous, that's still okay!"
"There are so many things we haven't achieved yet as New Kids. We're keeping touring and going overseas to markets we haven't been to before."
"It's a real good time, even if it only lasts a month or more or a decade or more, whatever. It doesn't matter, I'm still young. I've got my whole life ahead of me."
"I could never go back to not being an entertainer and having a normal job. That thought just kills me."
"I am working on my own solo projects at the moment, but I want to make it clear that the New Kids are still very much together. We haven't even thought about breaking up."
"I know that we're gonna have a lot more to do with the writing and producing of the next album. We're a really good team when we all get together and I can assure you that this time round the LP will be full of surprises!"
On fame:
"We never expected it to happen for so long or to be this big. But there are always more goals to achieve."
"Sometimes we say that we're huge and stuff, but we're just joking."
"There are times when you want to get away and there are times that you can't do that. Those are the times that save you because everyone just wants to chill out for a while, now and then."
"People say my life's abnormal, but it's sure normal for me - I don't know anything else but this."
"One time, I had my shirt ripped off. I get really embarrased when that happens. I've lost quite a few T-shirts, ones that I've liked a lot too!"
"I went out to clubs all the time. I'm underage. I only got in because of who I am."
"You don't have any privacy. The fans. They don't understand. They feel like you belong to the public."
"My friends just treat me the same. It doesn't matter where I've been and who I've met. I guess it's one of the things that keeps me on the ground."
