"Have fun whatever you do, and always keep B-Rokin."
"I'm married to these guys."
"I'm a manly man."
"I feel like a corn cob right now."
"I have to know someone really well before I'd even kiss them."
"If I had a girl I'd love to see her in my clothes. It's real romantic."
"I love these guys...oh gosh!"
"I'm very soft, you know!"
(What turns you on?) "Girls!"
(What's been your most passionate experience to date?) "Oh man! It was a long time ago, I can tell you that much! It was over a year ago. I do'nt want to go into details, but here was a sauna involved!"
"Most of all I like chasing girls."
"Of course I like to look at pretty girls in the street. What hot-blooded guy doesn't?"
"We've all got pretty smelly feet!"
"If we've been to a scary movie 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!"
(on Nick?)"I'm his big brother and I'm gonna knock him out!
"I'm married to these guys..."
"We're not perfect."
"I snore. Just ask the others!"
"A.J. is to blame for all of this."
"A.J.-he's just a lunatic!"
(on A.J.) "Boner, that's what we call him!"
(on Kevin's nickname, Train) "He has NO idea where his limbs are!"
(from Backstreet Boys Favorite Video Countdown-on A.J.)"He's bein' a freak!" (note: A.J. was jumping up and down in a very weird way)
"I remember once we were performing a song from the album onstage, and I had to sing the first two verses. The dance routine was really difficult and I was concentrating so hard I blanked on the words. I ended up just humming along. The other guys were useless. They were creased up laughing and didn't try to help me out at all!"
"I never dreamed of being a big star or anything. I grew up in a big Baptist church and ever since I could walk I was singing."
"I'm not real religious, but my family brought me up with a religious background. I try to stay somewhat focused on that and do my own thing."
"I wouldn't change a thing in my life. I thank God for everything."
"We've got some brilliant fans. We get really excited when we're flying into a country like Britain, because we get to see them again--we literally sit on the plane going, 'Oh, do you think Helen, or Louise, or whoever, will be at the airport?'"
"The main thing I remember about Nick when I first met him was 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."
(on Luther Vandross)"I admire him as a singer because I saw him live in Orlando. I would give anything for a copy of that concert. It was just unbelievable. He just blew me away."
(he believes we're all here for a reason)"Which for me is singing and being a ham on stage."
"Joke telling isn't one of my big things, but I like to make people laugh by pulling funny faces and falling over. Sometimes I hurt myself!"
"I guess in that way I am sort-of old fashioned and I'd have to say that honestly, I don't believe in a sexual relationship outside of marraige."
"I like a girl to play with my hair--y'know rough and tumble my head."
(on the food he eats)"I'm more or less just a meat and potatoes kind of guy. We have such a tight schedule that you don't really want to get ill, so sticking to what you know might be boring, but at least you get to perform."
"...it's important for me that fans know what sort of person I am and what I'm all about. It's not that I want them to follow me or do what I do, but I just hope I set a good example."
(on leaving his girl for his career if he had to)"...I'd tell her, 'Time will tell, but I have things to do for myself right now.'"
"The main things I've got to offer are a little love, caring, understanding, and emotion."
"My logic is that my life is no different thatn anyone else's except for four or five feet, and that four or five feet is how tall the stage is. Because if youput anyone else on stage, the girls will scream. I'm just the lucky one who's having an opportunity like this. When I step off the stage, I'm like anyone else."
(on finding girls by his old apartment)"...drove my car into my apartment complex, and they knew my car because a picture of it had been in a magazine...These two girls were sitting right in front of my apartment with their pens and paper, and they jumped when they saw me." (note: he used to share an apartment with Howie and Kevin, but they weren't home at the time; the girls came all the way from Switzerland)
(What do you do when fans throw their underwear onstage?) "We take it home and wear it!"-ALL
"We're for real. What you see is what you get. We're five solo artists put together and we love to do what we do."
"I think you have to take life day by day, and the more humor you find in everyday things then the happier you'll be. My grandmother on my dad's side is nearly eighty, but she looks like she's fifty, and acts like she's thrity."
(on teasing the others)"I take the mickey out of Howie 'cause he takes so long to do everything. And Kevin 'cause he's the oldest. If he doesn't laugh with us, we say, 'You're too much of an old man to understand our jokes.'"
(on A.J.)"He's always on the phone to his family in Florida. I'd hate to see his phone bill. He'll chat to anyone and tell you stories all day long, whether they're true or not."
"Brian Littrell likes to get more sleep than Brian Backstreet is allowed to."
(covering Howie's bear chest)"Oh my god, HOWARD! CENSOR!"
(on Nick) "Once we threw him out of the dressing room in his underwear in front of a whole bunch of girls. He got real mad but it was really funny!"
(on ?)"We helped him make a big step in his life."

Brian: "I'm a mutt"
Nick: "I'm a mutt, too."

"I guess I am a happy kind of guy, I see no point in being miserable."
(on 'We've Got It Goin' On')"Ya know...cause it's got our name in it. Jam on 'cuz BACKSTREET'S got it..."
"What's my favorite food? I love macaroni and cheese...and cheese pizza. I love cheese."

"Uno, dos, tres, that's all the Spanish I know."
"After Howie gets out of the bathroom it really smells."
"My butt hurts."
(about his 'As Long As You Love Me' crazy outfit)"That's him, right there! He's the guy that put me in this cornball lookin' outfit!"
"I'd like to be married and just all those things that money can't buy. I'm from Kentucky, what can I say? But at the same time, I'd still be a Backstreet Boy."
"Before I get on a plane, I kiss my fist and tap it against the plane. It's a good luck thing."
"My mom and dad both sing like birds, and they would sing in church all the time. I was always involved in the chidren's chorus at church, and I was always singing up on stage."
"I'll never forget something that my mom said to me when I was 10 or 11. She said, 'You know, Brian, when you were in the hospital, I was holding onto you for dear life, bcause I wanted to keep you here with me so bad. [But] I finally realized that God has different needs.' She realized that i was a blessing in her life and she had to let go if it was my time, and so she just made a prayer. And from then on I started to slowly get better and recover."
"My heart being weak at the time, my parents were scared. They never let me play soccer, so UI eventually picked up a basketball."
"I realized that maybe God kept me on this Earth so I could do something positive; so I could use the gift that he gave me to be an entertainer. I've learned from the past and what's happened. It's just an experience that you can't get rid of, that you have to turn around and use to your benefit."
(from BSB Live)"Kev, did you see the pin she's got of you on her blouse?"
(from BSB Live)"If you're not getting better, you're getting worse."
(from BSB Live-on a fan's dad)"I bet he was like this." [serious driver impression](Howie:Damn Backstreet Boys.)
(from BSB Live-on WGIGO vid)"We were sweatin' like pigs."

(from BSB Live-If AJ could do a duet with any artist, who would he chose?)"A.J.'s so fickle, though. What day was it?"
"When you love someone put their name in a cirlce, not a heart, because hearts can be broken, but circles go on forever."

(from Disney In Concert-playing b'ball)"I look at basketball as getting as close to normal as we can get."
(from Disney In Concert-bowling)"Looks like a field goal to me, Bob! And it's...good!"
(on a bus going to eat)"Facts are facts. They said five minutes; it's been about five minutes and 35 seconds and we still haven't stopped."
"Have I ever snogged a fan? Well, not intentionally. One, time, though, I was singing 'I'll Never Break Your Heart' on stage and went down to the audience to sing to this girl who'd been staring at me the whole time. When I finished the song, I went to give her a kiss on the cheek, but she tried to slip her tongue down my throat--right in front of everybody! I was completely dumbstruck!"

"I've laughed so hard that my stomach hurt. When you're around a lot of people who are laughing and everyone laughs and the whole world joins in and no one can stop it, it hurts."
"I can't see myself without a girl who's intelligent, a girl who shares my vaules, religiously or morally, and my interests. She'd have to have a good sense of humor, determination, and lots of energy."
"Cool is just being yourself, trying not to come across as somebody that you're not."
"If you get a Coke out of the mini bar it's gonna cost you an arm and a leg!"
(on his engagment)"There's a right time for everything, I guess...it's kinda like a jumpstart on getting on with life, so I'm looking forward to it."
(on long-distance relationship with Leighanne)"It's like any other relationship. There are ups and downs, but we respect what one another does. We prepared ourselves."
"As artists we had time to think and focus on what got us to where we're at today, and that's working hard in the studio and making good songs. It's not doing a movie together; it's not doing a pilot for a tv show; it's not doing all the side things that come with success. Bring in the Millennium. Bring in the Backstreet Boys. How else would you want to bring it in but with a slamming record?"

"No man is worth your tears, and the one that is won't make you cry."
