Brian's Interview

Another group disses you in an interview, then acts all friendly when you bump into them. Do you say anything?
I've given interviews where what turned up in the paper wasn't what I ment, so I'd just ask them. But everybody's gonna critize you in some way or another. You're never gonna please everybody. There are millins of people who hate Backstreet Boys. Well, maybe not hate us, but they don't like the songs. But there are many more millions of people who do. So take that!

A journalist asks you a personal question about the other Backstreeters. Do you spill?
It shouldn't be my decision to tell their business. I'd just say, "Ask them. That's their personal stuff, anf if they want to tell you, they will."

Someone offers you drugs at a party. Do you get the bouncers to chuck them out?
No, I'd get the Backstreet Boys to do it!

Your're asked to appear naked in a magazine to raise loads of money for your fave charity. OK or no way?
I'd go down to my boxer shorts.

They really want ya naked!
Lots of money for a really good charity, huh? I couldn't go all the way, I'm a little selective about who I want to show everything to. I mean, these are pictures that the whole world is gonna see!

One of you is involved in a club fight, which next day is sp;ashed all over the papers. Is the offending Backstreeter out of the group?
No, we'd stick together in that instance. As you become more succeddful, there are more and more people who want you down, so situations develop. The first thing would be to confront the situation, talk about it and find out the truth. Communication is the biggest thing.

You're at a party when you spot a close friend's girlfriend kissing another guy. What do you do?
I'd walk up to her and say, "Hey, how ya doing?" just to let her know I'm there, then hopefully she'd 'fess up to the friend. If she didn't, I'd definitely tell him.

Have you ever been in that situation?
Not I! Not recently, anyway!

You're a dinner guest in a foreign country. The local delicacy is pig's eyes in jelly and your host will be offended if you don't eat it. What do you do?
Pig's eyes in jelly, huh? Well, it's served with bread or something and the pig's eyes aren't staring at me, it could be cool. I'd eat them, yeah.
