How would you describe your relationship with Nick?

We have always been close [and] always will be. Nick exhibited an interest in the arts, like myself, and I did everything I could to help him achieve what he loved doing the most.

When Nick was younger, what did you argue about the most?

I would say...video games, Nintendo to be specific...

Did Nick always get along with his other siblings?

Not always. Nick has four siblings, Bobbie Jean, Leslie, Aaron and Angel. They love Nick, but of course [when they were younger]. They'd fight sometimes about silly things, like 'I had that first' or 'get out of my room' The usual.

How did you and the rest of the Carter clan feel about Nick becoming an entertainer?

I am very proud of him. He is really a very together young man who wants this more than anything else in the world. We, the family and myself, are all very excited for him. We're willing to make whatever sacrifices to be there for him and support him and his career.
