Sonia: In this group the Backstreet Boys, you are the youngest but at home you are the oldest. What do you prefer?

Nick: I like them both. Ya know when I go home I get a totally different world but when I'm here it's totally opposite.

Sonia: Do you like being the youngest member of this band?

Nick: Mmm-hun (nods his head)

Sonia: Why?

Nick: Why?

Sonia: Yaa, what does that mean, being the youngest member of the band? Do they tease you?

Nick: No, naa, I think when I was a lot younger in the band they used to tease me a lot but now that I've gotten a little bigger, they don't do that no more. But, ya know, I like being the youngest member in the group cuz... truthfully, the attention. (shyly smile away).

Sonia: You like the attention?

Nick: Yaa, I do, I like the attention.

Sonia: Is that because you're the oldest brother at home and maybe you didn't get that kind of attention?

Nick: Yaa, kinda, yaa, kinda.

Sonia: What would you say to people when they say to you 'you're so lucky'? How would you respond to something like that?

Nick: I think, umm, hmmmm...I'm so lucky? Well, it's something that I've been wanting to do ever since I've been really young and ya know, it's something I've been working for, for a long time and ya know, anybody can pursue their dreams no matter what they do. They can achieve what they want to acheive.

Sonia: What don't we know about you that you would like people to know?

Nick: Hm, I don't know, I think they find out a lot about me.(giggles to himself) Um, I
can be very sentimental. Yaa, I can be. I do hold my feelings inside a lot. Umm, I don't like to show my feelings. I don't like to cry. But, but...

Sonia: Do you let yourself cry in private?

Nick: Well, I, I, try to keep it in, sometimes I hear that's bad but a...

Sonia: You think that's part of being a guy?

Nick: I don't know, maybe, maybe (giggles) but that's one thing.

Sonia: Do you think you're tough or you don't think you're tough?

Nick: I try to be.

Sonia: What does being tough mean to you?

Nick: Being tough? Being able to withstand things, ya know, be strong. Well, I, I, guess holdin' in my feelings makes me feel tough but you know, maybe it doesn't.

Sonia: What do you see when you look in the mirror in the morning?

Nick: What do I see when I look in the mirror? I try not to look in the mirror that
much.But... just myself.

Sonia: What is the thing you like most about yourself?

Nick: Most about myself? The things I've acomplished in life.
