ALL-STARS: For this video, is everything choreographed or do you just wing it?
HOWIE DOROUGH: A little bit is choreographed, but actually, this is going to be more of a free-for-all video. We have girls in an auditioning-like video, it looks like a casting video, and there's morphing where the girls are auditioning to be in something and then all of a sudden the roles reverse.
ALL-STARS: What does this album mean to you?
A.J. MCLEAN: Patience, time, heart-to-heart feelings, and persistance. We took our time with it, the songs are good, the producers were great to work with. To work with the other four guys is a dream come true. They're very talented young performers, actors, singers, dancers, everything. It's a dream come true and I think this is the greatest thing and the album is, in my eyes, hopefully a number one hit.
ALL-STARS: Is there anything on the album the might surprise people?
A.J.: I think the versatility of the album. The fact that going from one song, which is a dance song, to one that song that is a ballad to another song that is a mid-tempo R&B type of song...we cover every ground of every age group of every race. We want everyone o love our music. That's what Backstreet Boys is all about-family, fun and stuff like that.
ALL-STARS: Are you more nervous or excited about your music coming out in the States?
BRIAN LITTRELL: Both. I'm very excited. I'm very happy yet I'm very nervous because you never know what the future holds and we've worked so hard all over the world, to come back here. Who knows?!
ALL-STARS: Do you have a favourite BSB song?
NICK CARTER: I'd have to say "Quit Playin' Games." It's the only song that I haven't gotten sick of yet!
ALL-STARS: How are you different off stage than you are on?
HOWIE: We're still normal, everyday people. We go shopping, we have chores to do at home still.
ALL-STARS: Tell us about the cartoons you guys draw.
A.J.: As a matter of fact, Nick could tell you more about that, because Nick is the comic book character drawer. He actually has a whole Backstreet Boys comic book done and ready. He just wants to find the time to do it. He wants to do a movie. I draw more like Disney looking type characters. Nick draws super hero Backstreet Boys characters.
ALL-STARS: So, Nick, will there eventually be a Backstreet Boys comic book on the stands?
NICK: Maybe! The thing is, the storyline is not corny. If you come up with a group and try to make a comic out of them, it's got to be good. If not, it's going to be corny.
ALL-STARS: Do the other guys have any input into this?
NICK: Oh, yes.
HOWIE: He doesn't let us give any input!
ALL-STARS: Do you guys have girlfriend?
NICK: It doesn't work that well. If you think about it, in our situation, if we were just here in the States maybe it would work, but man, we are everywhere, we've been gone for months at a time.
HOWIE: But we definitely like girls!
ALL-STARS: What would your dream-date be?
A.J.: It would be with someone who has a really catchy personality, who's very spontaneous and doesn't care where we go. We can go to McDonald's and she'd still have a good time. I'd love to have a little sand fight in the beach, throw water on each other. I'd serenade her, buy her ice-cream.
ALL-STARS: Who's the most girl crazy of all the BSB?
KEVIN RICHARDSON: A.J. is a big flirt!
A.J.: Me![laughs] I'm not going to lie to you!
ALL-STARS: What makes the BSB so special?
A.J.: Being real. That's what makes us special=being real. We have nothing to hide.
ALL-STARS: When you're making a video, does being in front of the camera make you want to get into acting?
KEVIN: We're all very big hams, we all like attention. We like being on stage, and when you get in front of the camera, it's almost link being on stage. And Nick, Howie, A.J. and myself, we've all done a little bit of theater work and so, for me, I'd definitely like to get in front of the camera for television or film.
ALL-STARS: Has singing always been a dream for you?
NICK: I think everyone has a dream they want to fulfill in life, and I think this is our dream. We wanted to make it happen and that's what we did. And we enjoy every moment about it, and we take every day like it's our last!
