~This Was Taken From Superteen Magazine~
~ST~ How do you and Brian get along?
~Jackie~ We have always been close! We have shared many talks together late in the evenings and even though he is the "son," and I am the "mother," he has taught me many things.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ST~ When Brian was young, what did you argue about?
~Jackie~We never really argued about anything, but sometimes we did disagree on what his priorities were and how he needed to get them into perspective to have the right direction for his life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ST~ How did he get along with his brother?
~Jackie~ Brian's only brother, Harold, is three years older, so sometimes they did have their disagreements regarding Harold's privileges and freedoms...Harold has different interests than Brian, however sometimes they did fight about basketball and who would win!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ST~ How did you feel when Brian said he wanted to perform?
~Jackie~ I am extremely excited for him! It's wonderful to be able to do something you love to do as an occupation, and enjoy every minute of it! Brian's brother is ecstatic for him! He encouraged Brian to pursue his dream and make it happen, and he's very thrilled....
The Boys on Brian
Q: How would you describe Brian to someone who's never met him?
Nick: A funny guy, very carefree & easygoing. He's the funniest in the band. Just when you least expect it, he'll come out with some off the wall crazy thing - something he might say, a face he might make, or he might just fall on the floor & start rolling around for no reason!
Howie: Wow! I'd say Brian is definitely a lively one. He's the type of person who can make you laugh at any time. He's full of energy, and we tease him because he's always doing something crazy, like screaming or giggling when it's a totally serious moment. It gets really annoying being around him 24/7 - we know every joke he's going to come out with! But you know, people who's never met him trip out! He's also has a very serious side - he definitely knows what he wants in life.
Q: Do you think Brian's changed since you first met him?
AJ: I don't think any of us have, really although we've all became more gifted at songwriting. Brian never touched a guitar before the band & now he's pretty good - but he really practices at it. We lived together back home & he was forever playing the guitar - you can never get it away from him. It drives me nuts!
Howie: I think we've all changed a bit. Just maturing, y'know? He's just sorted out what he wants out of life & he's learnt to look out for himself, because you have to in this business.
Q: So what's been your funniest Brian moment?
AJ: There're too many! He does something stupidly funny every damn day!
Q: Which famous person would you compare Brian to?
AJ: I hate to say it, but it'd be Marky Mark. We've met him a couple of times & they're very similar.
Q: Who would you set Brian up with on a blind date?
AJ: Jada Pinkett, if I could get her away from Will Smith for a while - he thinks she's absolutely gorgeous!
Q: What do you think is Brian's most likeable quality?
Nick: For me, his ability to be as young as he wants. 'Cause I'm the youngest member of the group, the others seem a bit older than me, but Brian's very young at heart. We play video games & basketball & sing together & listen to a lot of rap music. We have a great time hanging out together!
Q: Would Brian be a good boyfriend?
Kevin: Yeah, he's a good guy, he's a good laugh.
Q: If Brian was coming over for dinner, what would you cook him?
Kevin: Macaroni & cheese, that's his favorite.
Q: What's Brian's favorite word or expression?
Kevin: He does this thing where he goes ' pwrrr ' (blows air out of his mouth a bit like a horse!) If you tell him something, he'll go "Pwrrr, yeah right. " It's a gesture, like if he doesn't believe in something. He does it all the time, but he might not realize!
Q: What does Brian worry about?
Kevin: His business, his finances & stuff, he's really into that. We're all in the process of getting accountants to sort us out & we're all pretty business-minded, but we're away so much & we're busy all day every day.... It's hard to take care of it, but we're trying to set up our own business, our production company, and Brian worries about that a lot.
Q: What's Brian's best quality?
Kevin: He's got a good sense of humor & he likes to make people laugh...
Tiger Beat Magazine had each BSB reveal secrets about his other Band Members, here's what Nick, Howie, AJ and Kevin had to say about B-rok®
Bustin' Brian
Nick Sez: "Oh yeah, Brian is sooo cool. I can't think of one bad thing about him, he's so much fun to be around. I think in away, I've always looked up to him"
Howie Sez: "Brian has a secret handshake. I'm trying to learn it but they won't teach me. I'm not involved with the handshake clique"
Kevin Sez: "Brian is a real clown. My best way to wind up Brian is to say, 'Oh, that's real professional of you! Yeah, nice attitude, that's real good'.... But Brian keeps me in line"
AJ Sez: "He cries, at least he did when we got our first gold record. Him and Kevin Both"
