I describe myself like this:
"I'm an "all american" boy. I care about the others at the same time I'm easy to deal with. You could say I'm a typical aquarius. I can also be very irretating sometimes, because I don't know when to stop."

I describe the other guys like this:
"Kevin - the boss, the big brother who takes care about us. Make us all do good.
Howie - except for Kevin, he gives the mature look to the group. He's the peacemaker, who calms us down when we're fighting or stressed for a show.
Brian - is the comedian in the group. The one who I'm closest to.
A.J. - Mr.Cool. He has more guts than the rest of us. He can talk to anyone he wants to even if it's Cindy Crawford. I would never dare to do that!"

Background:
"At the tender age of 10 I had the leading role in "the Phantom of the Opera".
At age 12 I put in a winning performance on the 1992 "New Original Amateur Hour". I have done commercials, singing and dancing since a very early age.I've been offered a job at "the Mickey Mouse Club", but I decided to join the Backstreet Boys instead!"

Ambitions:
"I want BSB to become very successful. I want people all over the world to know who the Backstreet Boys are, when they hear the name they will know that it's a very successful group. When my time with BSB is over I would like to be a film producer."

My childhood:
"I was dancing on my parents disco when I was very young, even in my diapers. It's probably no accident that I was born in the same Jamestown, New York hospital as the legendary actress/comedienne, Lucille Ball.
When I was 8 years old, I started to act. I played in some commercials and got a little part in the movie with Johnny Depp "Edward Scissor-hands".
When children of my school saw me on TV, they got jealous and so they shunned me, I didn't had the right friends, so I was a real outsider.
When we had moved to Tampa, I was the babysitter of my sisters and my little brother because I was the oldest.
By fourth grade, after my family moved to Florida, I got the lead part in Phantom of the Opera. I was also a featured vocalist at Tampa Bay Buccaneer pre-game shows for two years.
When I was 10, I entered a singing competition. I sang "Great balls of fire" and I got the second price and won a camcorder.
I also did commercials for both "the Money Store" and "the Florida State Lottery".
When I played in a musical at school, I was waiting to get on stage (I was 13) and then this girl named Brenda kissed me. I thought it was cool.
I was offered a gig with Disney, but I decided to become a Backstreet Boy instead.
I had a little dog named BUBU, but in summer '94 he drowned. I was very sad and I still is."

My 16-th birthday-party: "When I turned 16 I celebrated it together with A.J. on 12 January. Because 28th January we were recording songs in the studio. We had a VERY big party.I got a birthday cake with Tazmania on it. A.J got a birthday cake with a women's body on it. There were more than 100 guests. We got videogames and a lot of other things."

The future:
"I hope that I'll do what I like, that's kinda important because I really don't want to be a cleaner, I hate cleaning! And of course I hope that I'm married with a child or two."

The lyrics to Roll With It are about Nick and other children who are a bit of an outsider.

Did you know...
...that Nick is the most popular boy of the BSB. He says that he doesn't know why. He always gets very shy when someone asks him that?
...that his first look on a girl are the eyes and he also likes brests?
...that the most sensitives place on his body is his bottom tummy. Because he says "Maybe that part what I don't dare to call by name, let's say my bottom tummy"?
...that during off hours, you can find Nick at home with his parents and four younger siblings?
...that his favorite thing in his room are his drums?
...that Nick and the BSB toured through the countries and so he got his private teacher?
...that his mother Jane is travelling with them because Nick isn't allowed to go on tour without an adult?
...hates getting critiziced just because he's the youngest?
...dropped his trousers on stage once?
...loves junk-food?
...blushes easily?
...looks different nearby?
...hates mirrors? He tries to not look at himself in the mirror as much as possible.
...uses the expression "All good" often? It's also the motto of the band.
...he's a bad loser when it comes to playing basketball?
...he's the clumsiest of the group? You will understand it when you see him tripping over a microphone wire next time!
