(Nick's answers r in Green!)
-Does your Greatest Hits album mean BSB are splitting?
-We're definitely not splitting up! We haven't had time to record a new album, but we wanted to give our fans something back for the support they've given us. This album represents the bst of the last five years, so it's a big deal.
-If you could change one BSB moment, what would it be?
-I wouldn't change anything. We've had the best experiences of our lives. The only thing we'd want to do is make sure we appreciate our achievements. Sometimes it gets crazy and things don't sink in until after the time has passed.
-How do you all keep grounded?
-We keep each other in check. If one of us is getting carried away, the others will tell them to change their attitude. We're a very strong unit and if we can't all agree on something, we won't do it.
-As a BSB, is it harder or easier to get girls?
-It's easier to talk to girls because they kind of know us already, so we just have to ask about them. They're usually quite open but can be a bit shy and nervous, which makes it difficult.
-Tell us a secret about yourself...
-I don't want to put you off! Seriously, I'm not always the angel that people think I am. I can be a bad boy sometimes. (Jalpa: Ha, as if we ever believed he was ever an angel!)
-What BSB lyric sums you up the best?
-"As long as there'll be music, we'll be coming back again." from Everybody (Backstreet's Back). We're always asked why we're in a band and this is it!We love music and performing. And as long as we have the ability and the fans want us, we'll keep on going.
BSB's new single, Drowning, is out on 31 December."
