Quotes

"I don't know what you're talking about! I only have two!!!"
"This is private stuff back here! And you're still filming anyways!!"
"Number one...that camera has been around us a lot as everyone can tell...um...and as you can tell, I'm getting make-up which I can not stand!!!!
"Yeah, whatever.....turn the camera off!"
"Howie's just a little stressed out here...."
"When you come to L.A., you have to dress like this!"
"We are the bug men!!"
"Tattoos are sexy"
"Yeah, me and Puff go way back."
"You're not funny."
"You aren't my guardian!"
"I was bullied at school, so I know it's not fun. Bullying is not cool so
let's fight for what's right and kick bullies out of sight!"
"I'd like to star in the next Alien movie. I wanna shoot loads of aliens!"
"Just take things as they come"
"My family comes first before anything, they are everything to me."
"Personally, I like it when fans do crazy things."
"I used to stand on a tree stump in our backyard and sing, pretending
flowers were my audience. One day my mom caught me and signed my up
for singing lessons right away."
"My family used to call me Charlie Brown because I had a big round head
with no hair. There is still some baby pictures on display at home,
which is a bit embarrassing. My mom has even got out the family album
when a girl has been around and gone ‘Here’s a picture of Nick as a
baby without any clothes on’."
"I was asked out by girls a bunch of times when I was in school. I
like girls asking you out because it takes the pressure off you having
to do it, but it hasn’t happened in awhile, I’m sad to say."
"The most expensive thing I’ve ever bought is a gold chain that cost
$300. I bought it for myself. Why haven’t I bought a flash car and a
house? Well, I haven’t got my driving license, and I’d rather stay at
home with my parents."
"I believe that there is something else besides this when you die. I
haven’t got a clue what it’s like-I haven’t got a mental picture or
anything. I just believe there is something."
"I’ve never been drunk. I’m under age so I’d get in trouble if I
drank. It’s never interested me. I’ve heard from some people that
drinking isn’t bad for your health if you keep it in moderation, but,
personally, I don’t like it."
"I wanna be crazy forever, even when I’m eighty!"
"It feels soooooooooooo wonderful!"
"I would be the monkey’s trainer."
"My name is Nick, and I like the type of girl who likes to go dancing.
The type of girl that likes to move her body. The type of girl who
likes to shake what her momma gave her. The type of girl that will let
me hold her hand, and then kiss her. The type that will let me take
her to the movies, and then kiss her. The type that will let me hold
her sooooo tight, and then kiss her, and kiss her, and kiss her, and
kiss her!"
"Sometimes if I don’t think about the room being dark and the Martians
being in the closet, I can get to sleep really easy. But I’ll never
hang my feet off the end of the bed-I’m afraid the gremlins will bite
my toes! Really!"

About Girls and Love-

"It really doesn't matter to me what she looks like, as long as she has
a good personality and she's really nice. I don't care if she has
blonde, dark, or even green hair! But she's gotta be independant and
like herself and not care about what people other people think."
"I've never been in love, but I'd love to be. If I had a girlfriend, I would
take her down to the beach so we could kiss on the sand. Then we
could go back to my place and play on my 'Playstation'"
"I would take her out (on a date) to the beach at night. There would be a full
moon with a bunch of stars out. The sand would be pure white,
beautiful, and soft. The ocean would be very calm and the moonlight
would be shining off of the water."
"A girl who agrees with everything is not for me, I love a challenge.
The risk that things could go wrong"
"The caring's the most important thing when a girl gives you her heart."
"I like girls who come from the heart. Who are kind, and
sometimes good looks help."
"When you think of a dream girl, you think of somebody that's perfect,
someone who fits your quailifications, somebody who you'd like. Looks
are, like, ixnay from that whole thing, to me. When you take looks and
put it aside, then you take a look at what's on the inside of a person,
you know their heart and their true feelings. Once you can look past all
that, and see deep inside of them, and see who they are in real life,
that's when nothing else matters."
"I know a lot of girls who are just friends-the way I prefer it. I
don’t really want to fall in love yet. I prefer to wait a little bit.
To be honest, I’ve never really fallen in love. I’ve never felt this
strong sensation…I’m still very young and have lots of time for love.
The day I find the girl of my dreams I will spoil her rotten."
"…to do something romantic I would take her to the beach when the sun
is going down. The sky would be full of stars, and apart from the
sound of the sea, it would be a very quiet and intimate moment."
"Love has no age…"
"Faithfulness is very important to me…I would be incapable of cheating
on my girlfriend. I couldn’t look at her straight in the eye. If I
had a girlfriend, I wouldn’t even need to look at other girls."
"I can be shy around girls. The other guys have far more experience."
"Character is far more important than appearance. I like a girl who is
honest; that’s very important. She has got to have some grit in her,
be able to stand up for herself. But most of all she has to love me,
of course!"
What he has to Offer as a Boyfriend-
"Just me, myself. I’m very ordinary, down to earth kinda guy and I
hope that’s all my girl would need."

About Himself-

"I'm not very good with words."
"I just shave a small amount about once a week."
"I’m pretty much okay with myself. I think the only thing is just to
have fun!"
"I don’t believe in being mean to anyone. I’m a really peaceful
person. That’s something I learned from my family."
"I try not to look in the mirror that much."
"Everyday, I get lots of hugs from fans and the guys, but I don’t get a
real hug everyday-I wish I did!"
"I like to have fun. Truthfully I don't want to grow up. I dread growing up,
it's just one of those things. I like being young, I like the enjoyment
of being a teenager. I just don't want to ever leave the ground. I don't
want to, like some people say, "get big-headed". I just want to stay
the way I am."

About Fame-

"It’s surprising, but really cool."
"I don’t get chatted up much. We’re very busy all the time, so no one
gets a chance to talk to us that much. That’s okay-it can be cool to
have a little bit of privacy."
"I’ve been seeing stuff on the Internet…like, funky stuff."

About how he Felt when BSB’s First Single was Released-

"..to walk into a store and see your single sitting on a shelf; you
can’t believe it’s you sitting next to these artists."

About the Guys-

"We are a group and it wouldn’t feel right if I got all the attention.
We get attention just because we’re a good team."
"I don’t have many friends, just these guys."
"Backstreet Boys is the most important thing in my life. My life
revolves around the group. We are very close-simply because we seem to
spend so much time together."
"If you’re a real group, you’ll come out true to yourselves and you’ll
be together for a long time..…We feel that we are a real group and will
be together for a very long time."

About his Fans-

"It’s great to have people thinking about you. People we meet are
always cool with us. We’re really lucky."
"We like to have a close relationship with our fans. I could go out
with one of them, but I don’t think it could develop any farther."
"We sometimes get panties thrown on stage, but they aren’t very
aerodynamic so they don’t travel very far. We mostly get cuddly toys
with phone numbers."
"Sometimes we get fan mail…I try to reply to fine personally."
"We’ve learned that our performances make people happy-that’s what we're
here for."

About his Family-

"I get homesick a lot. That can make me so emotional that I sometimes
feel like crying-but never in front of anyone. No way!"
"I’m not quite as grown up as I could be. Whenever I get the chance to
hang out with my family, I head straight to my brother Aaron’s room-to
play with his toys."
"I trust my mom 100%. She knows me very well and is capable of
guessing my thoughts. I love it when she’s there."

About Traveling-

"The traveling does kinda get gruesome sometimes. I’m away from the
rest of my family, and I really miss them."
"Busy, busy, busy…."
"We’ve been to places like Australia…it’s really cool!"

About Relaxing-

"Being on my own, with just the silence of the sea, is such an escape
from the constant screaming of fans on a Backstreet Boys tour. Its
something I need to do-just to get away from it all."
"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 playing basketball, because I can’t go outside the hotel. So
when I play Nintendo, I enter a different world and relax."
"When I come off stage I go straight back to the hotel. I love to take
a long shower and then go to sleep. I never seem to take too much time
to drop off after a show. Generally, I’m always very tired and can
sleep anywhere."

Advice to Others-

"You should always be yourself. Never try to be someone you’re not."
"I’m so lucky. (This is) something I’ve been wanting to do ever since
I was really young, and it’s something I’ve worked at for a long time.
I think anybody can pursue their dreams, no matter what they do; they
can achieve what they want to achieve."
"Live life to the fullest, it’s to bad were not cats...we only have one
life."

The Other Guys Thoughts on Nick-

"If Nick wasn’t in the group it just wouldn’t be the same for me."
Brian: He’s like the little brother I never had. I can teach him and
help him with things. He’s come a long way and he’s very mature for
his age. If I was doing the things he was doing now, I wouldn’t have
handled it as well."
Kevin: Nick is real young and hyper I wish I could be as carefree as he
is. The downside is that sometimes he doesn’t want to the serious
stuff. My way of winding Nick up is to correct him in front of
everybody. He’s the clumsiest in the group. That’s because he’s grown
so much in the past year-like three feet!
Brian: I’m little bit better than him at basketball right now, but when
we play, he plays so hard that he gets frustrated. He reminds me of
myself when I was that age. Even now, I’ll get mad when he beats me
in a Nintendo game.
AJ: 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 really started smelling bad. Revenge is being plotted as
we speak.
Howie: He’s full of energy when he wants to be, but he doesn’t always
know how to focus his energy. He’s also very grumpy in the mornings,
and when he gets in his nagging moods, being young, he slaps you around
the head! Worst of all, he hogs the Nintendo!
AJ: He has been really cool!
Howie: He finds ways of playing practical jokes on us-itching powder,
gum that turns your mouth blue...he’s really a big kid at heart.
Brian: The main thing I remember about Nick when I very first met him
is how small he was. He was so energetic and full of life-I was like
"WOW!" I was totally bowled over, and then I heard his voice. Man, it
was just so big for this little guy.
Howie: I’m trying to think of the last time he was nice to me…hmm…he
bought me lunch the other day. He doesn’t help old ladies over roads
or open doors though.
Brian on Nick’s Fame: I think he probably has a more difficult time
dealing with it…because he the one who gets tugged on the most. If me
and him are getting out of the bus at the bus at the same time, they’d
probably go for him. That’s why we all try to get off the bus with
him-we push him out first so we can all walk right on past!
AJ: I suppose Nick's room could be called comfortable and lived in, if
you could find the bed!
