When it comes to the fans, fans are like our best friends, without the fans there would be no Backstreet Boys.

The five of us are the tighest we've ever been. No one can touch us.

Nick's a real prankster. Last tour, he put a sock filled with different odds and ends that really stank behind the drums, and during the show, it started smelling real bad, Revenge is being plotted as we speak.

I'm wishing my nickname wasn't Bone, I should be called Chameleon, because I change every minute.

Sex isn't the answer. Sex is the question, yes is the answer.

No one's a virgin, life screws us all.

How did the Dairy Queen get pregnant? Burger King showed her his Whopper.

Close your eyes......and imagine I am standing next to you..............ALL NAKED.

Yeah, I'm cool wit it as long as she has like all of her teeth and stuff....

So again fellows, I wish you a good flight, a good night, Gods speed, God bless... and you know what? Again as always you can kiss my ass! Thanks for today.

AJ gets all the panties, Johnny gets all the Thong thong thong thong thongs! AJ gets the wide back!

I'm tipsy, but the camera-man is fucked up!

If you don't believe it, here it is. The Diary of a drunk Backstreet Boy.

Sometimes I don't even answer to AJ, I'll just answer to Bone.

I don't miss McDonalds cuz there's one in every country, all around the world, so I'm in heaven in every country I go to, I find a McDonalds. Even at the airport. It's everywhere!

Our shows are for the whole family -- younger sisters, older sisters, the cats, the dogs. We even had a dog chasing our bus. I said to Nick 'Look now we have animal fans!' That's when you know you've made it.

I think to have patience with everybody. With your friends, with your family, with yourself. You know, good things come to those who wait. If you have the patience to go through the hard days and the hard process, the hard work. I think we're all achieved many of the goals that we wanted to achieve and still have many more to achieve.

It's nice that we're still the same guys that we've always been. We still joke around and have the same attitude as before. Why would we change? We're doing what we love to do, and there are millions of people around the world who evidently love what we do. If that can't make you happy, what can?

When you're onstage, you know you're going to get attention, whatever you do, they're gonna like "it."

Just follow your heart. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise, if you really believe in yourself. It takes a lot of patience, a lot of practice, a lot of determination and a lot of support from your family and friends. Just follow your heart and shoot for the stars and you can definitely do it.

GOOD GOD!!

The girl thing is old.

I promised myself I wasn't going to cry. Thank you for all your support. I wish I could go out there and give each and everyone of you a hug. (Milwaukee, WI 8/24/01)

That's one big-ass freakin' plane!!

I'm in Mexico for crying out loud, that's why I can't talk to you!

I wanna dedicate this song to all the beautiful, lovely....sexy ladies in my house tonight!

Bass me....I've been bassed haha!!

By gawd we're still waiting on our food.

I'm kinda not lookin so good this morning.

How come the guys cologne comes in the little pink bottle...I don't understand.

Oh booby booby?!?!?!

I'm gonna die on this plane.

I beeped and they felt me up with this little thing....it was good.

I wanna see some babes.

The first day that we got here there was like two or three fans and I guess they tell their friends and then their friends tell their friends and now there's like fifty to sixty girls just following us in packs.

We're always gonna be doin something entertainment wise...whether it's music, acting, singing, dancing.....we're gonna be up on stage one way or another.

Well if you don't know you shouldn't know.

Show these girls what's up Nicky Nick.....show em who's a real man.

I had to close the door that way nobody comes in and starts to sneak around in my house, you know. I've got tons of people runnin around the neighborhood tryin' to jump in my house and catch a free glimpse.

All right, get out of here, SCRAM! - to Amanda

I'm more of a bathtub kinda guy...I like to chill in the tub.

I had to wash myself...I was all stinky.

This single remote...hit it....and nothing happens.

This is my little pimp ride when my girl's not around.

I got hat head.

Is that the toilet? Holy shit! Rok! You gotta see the toilet man! It's a reclineable chair!

I will not be serving any alcoholic beverages except to myself so hahahahahahaha!

We don't profess to be perfect. People look to us to be role models. That's not our job. Our job is to be good entertainers. If there should be any good role models for our fans, it should be their families.

It’s time to get nasty!!!!

We’ve got it goin on in the kitchen...with bacon and eggs and ham!

Girls are like diamonds - at first, they are rough on the edges, but once they are polished and smoothed, they are very beautiful.

And as always...you can kiss my ass!

4 days is enough with these guys!

I've got a great job and a great life. I feel great, and I look great – not to sound conceited, but I think I look pretty damn good.

My pants fell down in class and I was wearing boxers with kisses on them. -AJ on his most embarrassing moment

People call me Bone..some say its cause I'm skinny but we all know what it really means!

I'm always horny!

My mother always is a little bit angry about my tattoos. She says, 'It cost me nine months to make your skin.'

I once had to go behind the house when I was locked out. Man, that was embarrassing! -AJ when asked if he's ever weed on the street!

Well, I'd say definitely Boyzone. Have you seen their hair lately? No, I'm kidding... I think we are! -When asked, who's more street - BSB or Boyzone?

NSync should enjoy their glory now because when our double CD is released in October it's all gonna change. I have three words for NSync: 'Bye Bye Bye!' -As Johnny No Name

Jive Records really sucks ass! -As Johnny No Name

Sex isn't the answer, sex is the question, yes is the answer.

I'm one of the spoilt-est only children you will ever could find. Bless their hearts!

I look bulimic in my large, anorexic truck.

You sick little monkey!

When I see an attractive girl what's the first thing I look at? Do you want me to be honest, or do you want me to lie? If she's looking at me, then it's her eyes. But if she's not looking at me then, erm...her booty. I watch it go from side to side. Yeah, I know, I'm a man. I'm sorry!

I think I'm a man.

It's a bathtub that flies.

I like Nick's butt.

Bring on the women.

Yes! When I have time off, I do. I shave my legs, under my arms and I used to shave my chest, but now it's getting a little much.

The Backstreet Boys. That's us.

No, who told you that? They're lined with that tar stuff! -When asked if the streets were paved with gold

To all the fans in Germany: I'm still alive, but I can't have kids anymore.

When you don't know, grow a fro!

To me people are beautiful inside and out.

My first pet cat, I used to mess with this cat all the time. I thought he liked me, but he actually liked my Mom. He didn't like me at all.

I had three really bad things happen to me in one day. And we had a show in front of 35,000 people. I had just broken up with my girlfriend, my dog died and my grandfather went to the hospital. When I walked out on to the stage, I didn't think about anything except me and the fellas making those girls out there smile.

The sex was so good even the neighbours had a cigarette.

In the beginning, it was all this puppet crap, like management saying, 'No facial hair, no earrings, no girlfriends. If you do have one, you don't ever say you do.' I think the fans actually gained more respect for us for being honest.

No one's a virgin, life SCREWS us all!

Love is a sensation caused by temptation, a guy sticks his location in a girls destination to increase the population for the next generation, do you get my explanation or do you need a demonstration?

Close your eyes and imagine me right beside you.. ABSOLUTELY NAKED! -As Johnny No Name

...the press start to make up things.....but as long as we're in the press it's OK. I would be more worried if nobody talked about the Backstreet Boys ever again.

I'm a good reckless driver!

I have Nick in my pocket.

It was Nick's fault....it wasn't my fault. -On how The One 'won' instead of Don't Want You Back

Ours is better...and it was our idea. -Comparing videos for The One and NSyncs I'll Never Stop

I don't mind being watched a lot of the time. Being in a band does mean we're in the public eye, but it sucks because everything we do is judged. That said, I wouldn't want cameras in my toilet, especially if I'd had too many beans...!

When they coloured in the first one I got, on my shoulder, all the blood drained away from my face, 'cos I didn't know what to expect.

We presented Mariah with an award - she walked on stage in on of her typical dresses where everything's just about to fall out....Not that we minded of course! I was soooo annoyed about that, it ruined my night, hehe! - About the World Music Awards 2000

Me and Howie are workaholics. We hate not working, we climb the walls!

Kevin we actually knew about for a while, he had the ring for almost a year before he proposed, he was a little nervous, I think he was just waiting for the most perfect moment.

It's not that I'm not happy with it, but it has got to that point where there is a certain motif that you have to uphold, and a way of talking, walking, being - but with Johnny, there aren't any rules. There's a lot more freedom. - When asked if Johnny being AJ outside of BSB meant he was not happy about the AJ that's portrayed in BSB.

I think we've all gone through changes in out lives. A couple of us have got more facial hair, a couple of us have got hair where we don't want it!

I shop more than most women.

I'm not gonna kiss and tell.

Why would you want to be a rock? You get stepped on where ever you go, run over, and dogs poop on you! - As Johnny No Name on Brian's nick-name (B-Rok).

We're not professional writers, producers, engineers or musicians. We're singers and we're artists. There are people who train their whole lives to learn how to use a mixing board, to play a bass guitar, to become producers and we need to kind of suck in all that stuff just to learn from it.

Well, I don't know, Howie pees on the floor a lot!

Usually girls have a really sensitive side,so you can go mushy on them.

We'll go anywhere or do anything for our fans.

I want a divorce!

I'm a very simple person when it comes to food...but I can put away a lot of food. I Eat.

We're just all having a good time. Touring the country and meeting all these people is a wild experience and I can't think of any other group of people I'd like to share this with.

I got two rings from a German fan that I later found out were her parents' wedding bans. I was shocked to find out when I had them appraised. Fans can do crazy, wonderful things.

Mostly, I'm a big ham and I have to be out there doing crazy stuff on stage for no apparent reason.

I owned a pair of green & brown striped contact lenses for a while & I loved them because they made me look as though I had real snake eyes. I was real proud of the when I looked in the mirror, but after wearing them for a while I forgot I had them in my eyes. I got off the tour bus & two little girls came over to ask for autographs, but when I took my sunglasses off to say hello they both stared at me then backed away - one of them actually screamed. My Mom gave me a real talking to after that & I never wore them again. I don't wanna scare the kids!

When we were on our US tour recently, we stopped overnight at a hotel in Texas. My room was on the third floor so I decided to go out onto the balcony and wave to the fans who were on the street waiting for us to come out. I was munching on a hot doughnut and waving when I noticed this really cute girl smiling at me. Just then I bit right into the jammy bit of the doughnut and burnt my mouth! In shock, I spat out a mouthful and, to my horror, it landed right on the girl's head! I was in so much pain I ran into my room and washed out my mouth with cold water. I was too embarrassed to go back on the balcony and say sorry."

The Beach Boys are in their sixties and they're still called The Beach Boys. So even when we're in our sixties we'll still be the Backstreet Boys. We just won't be dancing as much.

The 5 of us are the tightest we've ever been...nobody can touch us.

Just about everyone likes that little crap-poop-head over there, {pointing at Nick} 'cos he's the young one with the all-American look.

It's not about quantity but quality.

I'm for Kevin for president, what do you say?

[Interviewer: How often do you have rude thoughts?]

A couple of times a day.

[Interviewer: Only twice?]

Yeah, but they're really, really rude. I couldn't even begin to tell you!

I'd pay $10,000 to go on a date with Howie.

I think our fan base has expanded age wise I’m sure. I’m sure we still have the young 12 and 13 year old fans. And maybe we’ve got more 25 and 26 year old fans. We’ve been seeing a lot more families coming to our shows and a lot more guys coming to our shows. Which is really cool ‘cos we don’t want it to be for girls, young girls. We want it to be for every age, every race, every sex, genre, everybody – it’s good quality music.

They are very receptive, very understanding, very support of us as individuals and as well as a group. They are always there for us. They take the time out to make the signs, to give us gifts, make us gifts. They are always be there for us, and stand up for us if we are in a rut or in the media. Our fans are great.

You don’t want anyone throwing a TV at you on stage!

I got a cheeseburger thrown up on stage, back in the day. Nick took it and shoved it in my shoe.

It’s so funny. I try to go to Burger King and if I want to get one of those CD’s for my Mum or Grandma, they say “Why are you going to buy it if you are on the CD? Why don’t you get it for free?”. I’m like “You know, I might as well buy it. It’s no big deal”.

I'd jump up on stage with Fred Durst! We would be grooving on the stage together! - On having any opening act they liked

Well all school subjects are important to somebody - if you don't like French or whatever there's always gonna be someone who really gets into it. So I wouldn't ban any classes. - Whether AJ would ban any school subjects

The only thing that will ever split us up is death. - Setting straight the split-up rumours

Brian's really emotional. Both he and Kevin cried like babies when our album went gold! He's a passionate kinda guy, and once spent the whole day waiting in his car outside a record store so he could see Mariah Carey in the flesh.

Howie has a bit of a hair problem - it's really thick and hard to control. If you want to wind him up, just touch his hair and he'll freak!

Hey, I beeped...and they felt me up with that little thing…it was good. - AJ talking about an airport check

I think over the years, we've evolved our own identity. We're just ourselves and don't try to be something we're not. We don't dress up to look like dolls for one thing! We've all become strong individuals as well as becoming a strong unit, and I think that makes us different from other groups too. - What separates BSB from the other groups?

I would change people's attitude towards each other and help them to realise that we are all equal.

I always divide food so that no one gets more french fries than the other.

I think it was like a matter of you know never really differentiating being on-stage and off-stage. It was a lot of you know, taking the character onstage and you know living every single day through that person. It was just really, it was really not the way to do it. When you are off stage, you are not acting anymore, you are not a backstreet boy, you are being a normal human being and you are supposed to do normal things and have fun and just be a normal 23 year old. But, I wasn't. I kept that same character going all the time. Partying and using my name to get close to girls and to do things and party and drink. And it was you know, I got caught in the hype, you know, and I could never really separate the two. But now, now its like as soon as I am off-stage I'm just realxing I'm normal I'm going to meetings, I'm writing in my studio on the bus. I'm actually writing on a house record, you know, just trying to do stuff more creative, now that my head is so damn clear. Its like all this creativity is gushing out of my head.

To make a long story short I actually have Kevin to thank...for kinda just opening up my eyes. And it was the best thing I could've done.

I would take (Howie's) facial hair cos I wish I had facial hair like Howie and I wish I had golf expertise like Rok so I could kick his butt when we play again.

Well, we're, in a weird kind of way, we're actually ,you know, releasing this album as a greatest hits, just to give back to our fans our whole life with them.

When we were in Montreal I got in trouble with my ex because she saw a looky-likey of me chatting to some girls in a hotel. When she found me I was like, "I've been in my room!" She was ready to smack him, thinking it was me!

When I was in rehab I met a couple of lovely people whose kids named their pets after me! Like, a turtle!

Your wife put you in check, dog. (talking to Brian)

Our fans are the best fans in the world. They've been with us since we were doing middle school tours back in 95. -AJ
