"Hey, I'm Mr. Romantic! I have Spanish
relatives, so romance is in my blood!" ~Howie
"Here we go. Goin' to the show. Going to
cheerio. Come on people, come on, let's go, let's go, move it on
out." ~ Kevin
"Faithfulness is very important to me. I
would be incapable of cheating on my friend. I couldn't look her straight
in the eyes. If I had a girlfriend, I wouldn't even need to look at other
girls." ~ Nick
"When you like someone, put their name in a
circle, not a heart, cause hearts can be broken, but circles go on
forever." ~ Brian
"Don't wait for the person that you can live
with, wait for the person that you can't live without" ~ Brian
"Personally, I like it when fans do crazy
things! It may sound funny, but I got a thrill when I was pulled into a
crowd once. It was like 'How am I going to get out of this?!" ~ Nick
(OKAY NICKY!!!!!)
"Since our fans are so dedicated, and since
the new album is called BLACK & BLUE, we're gonna call our fans the
Black and Blue Army" ~ Nick
"I try to be bad, but nobody will let
me." ~ Nick
"It's so funny to sing in the middle of so
many bras " ~ Nick
"If we've been to 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 trying to be funny he
means it!" ~ Brian
(on shows) "Sweat and girls........ Does it
mix? I think so!" ~ Kevin
"Being honest, when I see an attractive girl
I have to say that the first thing I look at is, well, if shes looking at
me, her eyes but if shes not then her booty. I watch it go from side to
side. It doesnt matter what size it is but Yeah, I know. Im a man.
Sorry!" ~ AJ
"Most of all I like chasing us. Of course I
like to look at pretty girls in the street. What hot-blooded boy
doesn't??" ~ Brian (THAT'S A CAN DO TOO B-ROK!)
"I never hang my feet off the end of the bed
- I'm afraid little gremlins will bite my toes! Really!" ~ Nick
"I am the Breakfast Burritto Man!" ~Howie
"No, I am just kidding. I don't really have
a girlfriend. All you girls out there, you're all my girlfriends!" ~
Nick
"I wanna be crazy, even when I am 80" ~
Nick
"If I had a girl I would love to see her in
my clothes. It's real romantic" ~ Brian
{what has been your most passionate expierience
on a date?}
"Oh Man! It was a long time ago, I can tell
you that much! It was over a year ago. I don't want to go into details,
but there was a sauna involved!" ~ Brian
"The guys call me 'Sweet.D' because they say
I have a big heart." ~ Howie
"I like the fans, they're our extended
family when we are on the road." ~ Howie
"If I see a child who I know isn't going to
have the chance to live life, it tears me up inside. I have to leave the
room sometimes!" ~ Kevin
"When you see fans lined up against the
gate, it kinda inspires." ~ Kevin
"I had my first kiss when I was four and
kissed my next door neighbor's daughter Jennifer and then ran away!"~
AJ
"We're really focused on not taking our fans
for granted! You can't get caught up with it, because there is no way to
please everybody. But when we can, we like to give them special attention.
We're just trying to be nice and give a little something back."~ AJ
"It's a Backstreet thang!" ~ Nick
"Live your life to the fullest for the
future is scarce." ~Nick
"Hugs, Kisses and Cookies" ~ Howie
"Brian is a five finger discount man!"
~ Howie
"My first kiss was with a girl called Gina
Davison who I went to school with. I was in the fifth grade. She was nice.
That was my first real kiss." ~ Kevin
"Thank you for your smiles, your tears, your
love, and cheers, that keep us going nonstop. You are larger than
life." ~ Kevin (IT'S WHAT WE DO, BRO!)
"Someone to beat him at his Nintendo"
{what kinda girl he thinks Nick should have}~ AJ
"I know this might sound cheap, but I might
take a girl to McDonald's for dinner." ~ AJ
"I believe there's a perfect love match for
everyone. I just gotta find that person." ~ AJ
"I'm a very spontaneous open-minded
individual. I'm a very caring person and a real worry wart. I'm always
concerned about people and I'm a bit like a big teddy bear. I'd never hurt
anybody's feelings, and when I'm with a girl, I'm totally devoted." ~
AJ
"I like a woman who isn't afraid to do
something on the spur of the moment - like go skydiving, or white-water
rafting, or make love naked on a beach in Tahiti. Something just totally
off the wall." ~ AJ
"If I really set my sights on someone, then
I'll go to any lengths to get them." ~ AJ
"I shop more than most women." ~ AJ
"Whenever we're asked who the biggest flirt
is, they all just scream and point at me. But it's true, I'm not gonna
deny it." ~ AJ
"I've been flashed from stage. It happened
in London. This girl was watching me when I was singing 'Return of the
Mack' and then she reached up under her shirt and made me lose my
concentration. Then she pulled her bra out, screamed my name, and whipped
up her t-shirt and showed me her breasts. I forgot the words and I stopped
singing. I was like, 'You lied to me' and then I saw the breasts and I was
like 'Oh'." ~ AJ
"We each have pretty nice tempers when you
get us going. I think Howie has the most control as far as his temper, and
AJ's is pretty good at controlling his temper. Me, Brian and Nick probably
have the worst tempers." ~ Kevin
"One of our security guards is a certified
masseuse... So in case we get a pulled muscle or something's out of whack,
he'll give us a good hook-up before the show." ~ Kevin
"This type of career makes it difficult.
Most of the time women are skeptical about the type of life you lead. I am
looking for a serious relationship, possibly one that will lead into
marriage, but I feel it may have to wait for a few years. Among the most
important things are honesty, style and a beautiful smile. I see my dream
girl as sexy or be more exact, sensual, without ignoring other qualities.
It is very important to me that she has an up-beat personality." ~
Kevin
"Friendship is what ties this group
together. Without it, we would be lost, what people don't realize is that
we are real good friends. If the band broke up tomorrow, we would all
stick together." ~ Kevin
"Sometimes we have no idea where we are or
what town we're in. People don't realize what this constant running around
it like. They make it all worthwhile, though, especially when you look out
into a massive crowd and you realize that all that screaming is for you.
It's unlike anything I've ever experienced." ~ Kevin
"The tour is high energy and a lot of fun.
We've been doing all the current singles and some covers. You'll hear all
the hits and some new tracks." ~ Kevin
"It's very rewarding to think you're
actually affecting lives... I mean, people who can't even speak english
are singing our songs and even the American audiences-- We've had a lot of
loyal fans who have stuck with us a long, long time." ~ Brian
"I am interesting in girls who are openly
giving and sweet. I can tell right away when I meet them and speak with
them if they have these traits. After that, it's all about communication.
I think I'd like someone intelligent who wants a career for herself and
who is interested in achieving other goals in life. She must also be
trustworthy." ~ Brian
"We're really as close as brother. Just like
we were saying before, Nick joined the group when he was only thirteen
years-old. He has grown up with us and we love him. Now look at his
brother Aaron, so young, but so ready to embrace fame. What people need to
succeed is togetherness and a positive outlook. Sometimes we laugh so much
that our stomachs hurt; everyone joins in and then we can't stop." ~
Brian
"It's like when I said I was in the hospital
and I received thousands of cards and letters from fans from all over the
world. It really helped and it made me realize that I have a part in
something very big and important to many people." ~ Brian
"I love meeting people and hearing what they
have to say especially when they have heard us for the first time. It's
really exciting. The best part about touring is seeing places you have
never seen before. I usual sit up front of the bus and stare out at the
scenery. It helps me think and prepare for the days events." ~ Brian
"I like to push Nick out first, because all
the girls go after him!" ~ Brian
"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!" ~ Nick (WE ALL DO)
"One time I forgot to button my pants all
the way up. Bummer! We danced pretty wild at the show and when we did
"I'll Never Break You Heart" my pants started slipping down and
showed my boxers. But the girls seemed to like it!" ~ Nick (UMMM, WHY
WOULDN'Y WE?!)
"I can't stand it when girls smoke or wear
too much make-up. The worst type of girl is one who acts like a snob... I
just hate it! Personality is the most important thing for me. Forget her
appearance, if her personality isn't right it just won't work. A girl who
agrees with everything is not for me, as well. I also love girls who like
dancing, hold-hands, long walks and lots of kisses; but character is by
far the most important factor to me" ~ Nick
"I love it when fans do crazy things like
trying to sneak into our hotel rooms. I guess we'll need to worry if they
stop doing crazy things!" ~ Nick
"Howie can be serious at times, but at other
times, he can be just as crazy as me and Brian." ~ Nick
"SECURITY!" ~ Nick
"I do NOT! I do not WHINE!" -- Nick
"I think we all know the BSB's won't be
around forever and ever. We won't be 65 and still singing Backstreet's
Back!" ~ Nick
"I thought [it would be] a glamorous life-
going to parties and sleeping in late. But no way. Sometimes we have to
get up at 4 am to get on the road, and there are always promotions to do.
I had no idea how much work goes into it" ~ Howie
"I know this is going to sound superficial,
but I do look at girls appearance. I like athletic girls, especially when
they can tag along with me when I go jogging. It's important to be
healthy, after all, when you love someone, you want to spend a long life
with that person. I'd still love a girl as much if she wasn't gorgeous,
because beauty is only skin deep. There are many things like personality,
humor, and goodness that can made someone beautiful on the inside. A
mixture in that would succeed in seducing me." ~ Howie
"Sure, we have the occasional argument about
where to go or what to eat, but when it all ends with us laughing
hysterically. Being famous is actually quite funny sometimes. It's great
to turn around and just laugh at situations, and at us." ~ Howie
"The schedules can get to you and so can the
rehearsals. But when you're out on stage performing you realize deep
inside why you do it. You do it for the fans that have come to mean so
much to you." ~ Howie
{About nick's lazyness}"I went into his
hotel room in France once while he was sitting in front of the TV, but he
didn't like the show he was watching. I had to switch it over 'cause he
was too lazy to pick the remote control up off the top of the TV and do it
himself!" ~ Howie
{Their name, in high voice) "'Cause we're
back......we're from the street.......and we're boys!!" ~ Howie
"There was DisneyWorld, Sea World, and
Nick's world." ~ Howie
When a reporter asked what was in their tour bags
"These are stolen towels from the
hotels." ~ Howie
"My name is Howie..... Howie you doin'
sweetheart?" ~ Howie
"Not being loved frightens me. I'm a very
loving person and for me to give out so much love - and not receive any in
return really scares me. I prefer to talk from the heart and go with the
way I feel. A few people have told me they find it warming and
romantic." ~ Howie
"The fans make us who we are." ~ Brian
"Your wife put you in check,dog." ~ AJ
talking to Brian
"Security!" ~ Brian {On Rosie
O'Donnell}
"I guess it's that latin power like howie
says" ~ Nick{talking about the fans in Rio on their 100 hours trip!}
"I would assume so. I mean, I'd like to
share some of the things that my father shared with me in growing up. I
look forward to it in the future when it's the right time" ~ Brian
{talk about him and Leighanne having kids}
"It's awesome, I mean we've had a chance,
with this new album BLACK & BLUE, we've had a chance to all get
together and do some writing and some producing. It's good to be back and
to see a great response like this here in New York, it makes us feel very
welcome!" ~ Howie
"Yes, we've actually written 7 songs on the
album, total, all of us together. We've all taken time, we wrote a song
that Babyface produced. We did a song that Rodney Jerkins, we didn't write
the song, but we did a song with Rodney Jerkins and we've done about a
total of 7 songs on the album and hopefully everyone will like them"
~ Nick (WE LOVED THEN!)
"We don't consider ourselves to be
manufactured. We are five guys who sing, we're a vocal group. I think our
music and our success speak for themselves." ~ Kevin
"In the making of the Backstreet Boys'
Around The World trip, we went to Sydney, Austrailia oday and had an
incredible response and now fellas we are on our way to Cape Town, South
America and Brian & Howie this is your fellow comrade." ~ AJ
"South Africa you dummy. South Africa you
dildo" ~ Kevin
"Kevin just called me a dildo. So, basically
we're going to Cape Town, South Africa. Excuse me, I have no idea what I
just said, but either way, we're on our way to our 3rd and almost final
stop to Rio and back to New York City to realese the album in the U.S. .
So again fellas, I wish you a good flight, good night, God speed, God
bless and you know what, again as always, you can kiss my ass!" ~ AJ
"First of all, growing up, I've been in this
business since I was like 6 years old and like I said I always hoped and
dreamed of hopefully making it one of these days in a group like
this." ~ Howie
"Hey we're the Backstreet Boys and you're
watching TRL" ~ BSB
"You guys have good taste" ~ Howie
referring to the Fans
"If the police will let us, we'll be
here" ~ Kevin
"Everytime we go into the studio, we try to
grow" ~ Kevin
"Backstreet way, that's the right way"
~ AJ
"Our fans are the best fans in the world.
They've been with us since we were doing middle school tours back in
95'" ~ AJ
"We've been through thick and thin with
them. They've supported us our whole careers, you know and they're still
supporting us and you mean and we try to do as much as we can for
them." ~ Nick
"Without the fans there will be no
Backstreet Boys!" ~ AJ
"What do you do before a
show?"-Reporter
