NICK
CHATTING UP THE LAYDEES!
Q.
Do you use the fact that you're famous and have loads of money to impress
the girls?
Not
at all! If a girl doesn't know who I am, and say she doesn't like me, I'm
not going to be like 'Hey baby, I'm a Backstreet Boy!' If she don't like
me, she don't like me, you know.
KEVIN
LETS THE TEARS TRICKLE
When
was the last time you cried?
I
don't really get upset that easily but the last time was when we performed
'I Want It That Way' on a TV show for the first time. We were in
rehearsals and when I came up front to do my verse, the fans just went
crazy!
BRAIN
GETS OUT OF THE HOUSEWORK
What's
your least favourite household chore?
Doing
the laundry. One of the good things about staying in hotels is that
you just hand over your dirty washing to the housemaid and it comes back
a few hours later pressed and clean. And as for ironing, well don't
even think about it!
HOWIE,
SCARED OF THE BUS DRIVER?
What's
the 'in' phrase or joke that's been used a lot by you guys on tour?
Anything
from South Park like 'Oh my God! They killed Kenny!' and 'Shut up
and sit down!' That's what the South Park bus driver shouts.
I wouldn't like to hear our bus driver shouting at us like that.
He's BIG!
AJ
HIDES OUT!
What
do you do when you want to go out unnoticed?
Well,
Howie can grow a full beard, put his hair in a ponytail and shove a cap
on his head, and no-one knows it's him. I guess I could shave my
beard off, take my jewellery off and wear an Afro wig!
BRIAN,
ON PICKING UP GIRLS......LITERALLY!
Q.
What's the funniest incident you've had with a fan?
We
were running into a hotel once cos there were a load of girls coming down
the street, and suddenly there was this girl just jumps straight infront
of me. I couldn't go round her cos she was dead smack in the way.
She went to reach for me to hug me, so I just picked her up and kept running.
We were halfway to my rom before I put her down again! (I
bet she thought it was her lucky day!)
HOWIE,
WHAT A GENTLEMAN!
My
parents raised me to respect everone - ladies and guys. My mum taught
me always to shake hands and say, "Yes ma'am, no ma'am", I always usually
kiss a girl on the cheek, but sometimes I'll try and be elegant and kiss
her hand.
AJ,
GETTING HIS KITT OFF!
Q.
What would it take for you to go naked infront of the camera?
I'd
go naked for a photo shoot if it was for charity. It would have to
raise lots of money for a really good charity but I'd do it. I would!
KEVIN
DROPS HIS TROUSERS!
Q.
What is your most embarrassing moment?
On
the very first date of the Millennium tour, my trousers fell off!
They zipped up both sides so we could slip out of them quickly and, well
they kinda just completely unzipped on both sides and came down!
It was totally embarrassing, but the crowd seemed to enjoy it though! (I
bet they did!)
NICK
THE BABE MAGNET!
Q.
What sort of things do the fans do to try and get close to you?
I
remember one time I was running into a hotel and this girl just jumped
on my back. She had her arms around my neck and I just kept running.
I got all the way to the elevator with this girl still hanging off my back,
and our security guard had to come and literally pick her off my back.
It was so funny - she wouldn't let go! (Well,
you can't really blame her!)
KEVIN,
LIVING LIKE A MONK?
Q.
You're all religious - do you believe in sex before marriage?
We're
young, religious men, but we're not perfect. We don't go out and
preach that you should do this or that. As far as sex before marriage
is concerned, I was brought up to think that you should wait till you find
the one you love and then marry her. But I don't always stress that
- it's what we were taught. (So that's a yes
then Kevin!)
IS
BRIAN HIS BIGGEST FAN?
Q.
Do you ever look to see what people are saying about you on the net?
Oh
yeah. I'm on the internet quite a lot actually. I've seen lots
of things saying that my girlfriend is a witch with a 'b'. It gets
lonely and it's good to have someone to share all of this with and someone
to talk to and bounce things off. (what???)
NICK
ON GOING SOLO?
Q.
Sorry to bring this up but are you guys splitting up?
Definitely
no. We're not breaking up! Our future definitely depends on
what we want to do as a group. We'll talk about it and decide. No
matter what happens we'll always be the backstreet boys. (that's
what we like to hear!)
QUEER
AS FOLK?
Q.
Howie, after Stephen from Boyzone came out there were some rumours that
some of the BSB are gay.
The
rumours of being gay are totally wrong. If you believe what's on
the internet I think at least three of us are gay. (who
exactly???)
A.J.
IS VERY PASSIONATE!
Q.
I must be really crazy living your life!
Oh,
definitely. But we love this life as much as we love our family.
As long as your passionate and keep your feet on the ground, you can always
go on!
