(Asked if Chris had auditioned everyone in the group)"No, if I had I don't
think Joey would have made it."-- From Regis and Kathie Lee
Joey: My stuff is never-- I'm a neat person. (All the guys groan C'mon)
Chris: And I suppose you don't smell either.
JC: [reading an interview question out loud] Do you think you are sexy?
Actually, I don't give it much thought. Really I don't!
Lance: I used to have a dog but I had to get rid of him because we've been
traveling way too much. I couldn't take care of him
.
Chris: The funny thing about JC is.....well, say we're driving somewhere and
we see a pretty girl on the sidewalk, the four of us will go, "Hey check out
that girl".....and five minutes later JC will go, "Wow check out that dog.
What kind is it?" He's nuts about dogs.
Chris: I'm in love with an alien.
Justin: I just want to sit down.
some girl in the audience: Justin! You can sit on my lap!
Justin: Excuuuse me?! I don't know you!
JC: The song [I Want You Back] is about suddenly finding yourself separated
from the person you feel so deeply about because you've done something
stupid to screw it up. I think it hits people because they can relate to it like a
love song, but it's powerful and uptempo enough to kick them too.
Justin: She was talkin' about my man's dreads.
Lance: (responding to what he would be doing instead of NSync) Probably
Poofoo.
JC: (laughing) Lance would be doing Poofoo.
Lance: Let's not go there.
JC: Theme park nothing! You were Poofoo!
Chris: You realize alot of these people are so fake because they come up to
you and they want to be your friend now that you have a name. You just sit
there and say 'Well, if I weren't in group, you wouldn't even be talking to me'
It makes me really weary.
Chris: Quit lyin'! He's a Mississippi albino!
Justin: Well, we were all...out...albino hunting one day and... (explaining how
how the group got together)
Joey: People always go on about our age differences, but we're all on the
same level really.
Justin: Hey, I'm bigger than you.....quite a different level!!!
Joey: Yeah, but you're already the tallest AND you're still growing, so when
that keeps up, you'll look really strange!!!
Justin: INNN
Chris: Ssss
Joey: Y [pronounced why]
Lance: NNNN
JC: CKK (then the guys start beating up on Joey and bugging him because
he messed up his part!)
CHRIS: I was thinkin' somethin' original like Dumbo
JOEY: Pajamas my mommy got me for x-mas
JUSTIN: He showers in his swimming trunks
LANCE: Shnookums
JOEY: I picked my nose when I was younger therefore I have big nostrils
CHRIS: If my girlfriend were taller than me I'd start to wear heels.
Justin: I saw her first
JC: Don't go there. (In case you didn't know, "I Saw Her First" is a song JC
sang on the MMC.)
I was skydiving and hit a bird.~ Lance.
From MTV Live Interview
JC: People are going to catagorize you no matter what you do. I mean, there's
a million rock bands out there that are called alternative or acid rock or
whatever, ya know what I mean? No matter what, you are going to be
catagorized. We're just gonna keep makin' the music that we make and
people'll call it what they call it, but hopefully people will enjoy it.
Carson (Daly, host of MTV live) : How did you guys hook up? Down in
Florida?
Justin: HA! This is a long story! Ok. It goes like this: Chris orignally had the
idea, and he called me up. We really just basically went-
Chris: It went bink, bink, bink, bink {points to each guy in the row)
JC: In this order
Justin: Yeah, in this order, [Chris, Justin, JC, Joey, Lance] down this line. He
called me up, its basically friends gettin' togther to start a group because they
wanna put a group togther and um, after about 6 months we were singing in
restuaraunts, forcing our a capella down people's throats while they are eating
dinner, we ran into our manager. And ever since the, we got our record deal
and went straight to Europe and things have been going great since then. So..
From BoxTalk
JC: "You know it's great to go over there and do all the wonderful things that
we've done, but there's no place like home. Click your heels 3 times and
we're back here.
The Here We Go video has gotten to him (Lance talking about Justin).
