"The thing about our music is, we have nothing to hide. There is nothing false about BSB. We are a vocal/harmony group, not just a 'boy group' or 'boy band'. We want people to know our first priority is really good music."

"I’m not good at secrets, so don’t tell me any!"

"Everyone was afraid of me 'cos I was such a freak. No-one would come near me, they were like 'What the hell's wrong with him, he's so weird?' I didn't fit in."

"In Germany someone threw a rock and it hit me in the face during a performance. I thought it was a cuddy toy or something. It caught me just above the eye. It was quite nasty cut. I had to carry on the show, though, as it was a part of a pop festival. If it had been our show, I would have got security to find out who it threw it."

"I don't think any of us are thinking about going solo. It's like the whole New Edition thing that's going on: somewhere down the line we could all go solo, but then we'd get back together ten years later and be even better than we were before!"

"If a girl got personality ,that’s better than a girl who looks good but is dumb. "

"Music is love, love is music, music is my life, I love my life. Thank you and good night."

"I know this might sound cheap, but I might take a girl to McDonald’s for dinner."

"I am a big horror movie freak!! I can probably recite every line from Pulp Fiction!"

"I scream, do stupid things, just to get laughs or attention to get the crowd into a giggly, laughing mood. I've had girls come up to me afterwards and say 'You are crazy'."

"Touring gives you an incredible feeling."

Brian

"If you love someone, put their name and yours in a circle, not a heart, because a heart can be broken but a circle goes on forever."

"I bite my fingernails. I've bitten them all my life. My mom was always like, 'Get your fingers out of your mouth!' I've tried to stop and it's something that bothers me because when I'm signing autographs, the girls are like, 'You bite your nails!' But I still do it!"

"People look at us and automatically stereotype, but once they hear us and see us perform live, they know we're for real. It's important for us to be recognized for our music. I think it speaks for itself."

"I have two scars where I had my appendix taken out, but only the people who know me really well get to see them 'cos they're at the bottom of my tummy! I've also got a scar on my heead where I head-butted a table when I was 12."

"I wished I looked a little older, but right now there's nothing I can do about that."

"I love steaks,fries and salad."

"The other guys make fun of me because I wash my car at least once every week. But after all, it is my first car!"

"We love our fans, without them we wouldn't be where we are today."

"If we've been to see a scary movie or something and we're sharing a room, and the lights are off when we walk in ,Nick will go 'It's dark in here, isn't it? ' And he's not being funny - he means it!"

"I have to have peanut butter and jam sandwiches or I can't survive."

"I've been offered several solo projects but the simple truth is I'm happy where I'm at. There's still so much for us to achieve as a group!"

Howie

"Looking at famous artists like Prince, I thought they'd have a glamorous life- doing their show, going to parties and sleeping in late. But no way. Sometimes, we have to get up at 4am to get on the road, and there are always promotions to do. I had no idea how much work goes into it."

"The only time I have space is when I go to bed at night."

"I call my house and talk to my family-that’s the biggest relaxation for me."

"Yeah, we pray together. We get in a circle and focus on the show and then we stretch out, warm up, and say good luck!"

"I'm sick of Gummi Bears! A while back I said I liked them, but I got sent so many by fans that I was eating them every day! Now I'm like 'No more Gummi bears!' I'm trying to keep my figure!"

"Hey, I'm Mr. Romantic! I have Spanish relatives, so romance is in my blood!"

"We've always wanted long-term success in this business - we don't want to be a flash in the pan. Some groups come in really quickly, and they're out really quickly. We want to put out good music for a long time."

"I said that I wore socks in bed atnight and everyone keeps taking the mickey out of me about it."

"People always jump out at me and I’m like "Ahhhh!"

"I once put someone's name on the Statue of Liberty. I was going up a spiral staircase that led to the top and I saw everybody else's name and I thought, 'What the heck?' It was mine and somebody else's name in a heart, but I'm not gonna kiss and tell."

"The Backstreet Boys will be around for as long as you love us."

Kevin

"Find your own identity."

"You can't take success for granted or get lazy and slack off. You have to keep improving. If you don't grow as a songwriter and a performer, you won't be able to hold on to your success. You have to evolve over time and keep growing as an artist - that's what we're striving to do."

"I don’t get jealous if guys are looking at my girl or anything."

"I would like to be the president of the US for one day"

"I had a great childhood. I loved school, played Little League football, rode horses and dirtbikes, and sang into a hair brush in front of my bedroom mirror."

"My weakness is peanut butter. Oh my gosh. I could eat peanut butter on anything! I like peanut butter and jam on Ritz crackers-I could eat those babies all day!"

"The five of us believe that destiny has brought us together, and we strongly feel we're touching people's lives with our music."

"I wear, like, the new-style cotton boxers, Tommy Hilfiger ones."

"We were at the airport in Philadelphia trying to catch our connecting flight and this lady wouldn't let us board the plane. She was really rude to us so I said,'May I have your name?' and she said, 'You may not!' Things got pretty hairy."

"When you're on the road it's difficult to keep up with the laundry so you find yourself without a clean pair of underpants. You have no choice but to pop back on yesterday's pair. They tend to be pretty snug though, which is lucky!"

"I chew on my tongue when I get nervous, but I don't think anyone gets annoyed by that. We all sleep in seperate rooms so we don't have to put up with snoring."

Nick

"Live life to the fullest for the future is scarce"

"Everytime I look at magazines in UK, I see pictures of boybands with their tops off. I just feel that I have more to give than that."

"A fan in Japan took me on for Nintendo and made me look like a beginner!"

"The first autograph I signed was when I was eight."

"I'm addicted to Nintendo! I play sports games and adventure games and role-playing like Final Fantasy 3. I can't always do what I want to do, like play basketball, because I can't go outside the hotel. So when I play Nintendo, I enter a different world and relax."

"Character is far more important than appearance. I like a girl who's honest; that's very important. She has to have some grit in her, be able to stand up for herself. But most of all she has to love me, of course!"

"My family comes first before anything, they are everything to me"

"I can be shy around girls. The other guys have got far more experience."

"I kinda did my hair more sophisticated. I kind of sick of that old blond parted down the middle kinda rubbish."

"Anybody can pursue their dreams, no matter what they do; they can achieve what they want to achieve."

"We've learned that our performances make people happy, that's what we're here for."
