So Brian you are a Superbabe, how does that feel?
It feels good especially when you consider we have been out of England formonths. plus, I have been away in hospital, so I thought everyone might haveforgotten about me. (now that would never happen!)
Is there any rivalry between you and Nick when girls startscreaming?
Never! Different girls like us for different reasons. We like different sorts of girls. I'mnot saying nicks wrong and I'm right, it's just the way it is
Do you get on well with your fans?
Yes, all of them are great. And I tell you what, I get on very well with our fans whohave health problems, because I can relate to them. I met one girl who had two formsof cancer, she was in a wheelchair so I explained to her I had been in hospital for aheart operation and, in some small way, I could understand how she was feeling.
Would you ever date a fan?
Sure! Sometimes the only way we can meet girls is after a show. It's really hard for usto go out to clubs or cinemas so we meet alot of fans and they're all really special
Have you ever dated a fan?
I can't tell you that! but I have been very close to some fans. I don't get the chance totalk to fans very often cos we're so busy but I wish we could cos some of them arevery pretty
Do you think of yourself as being good looking?
I think there were many reasons why the Backstreet Boys were chosen and one ofthose was looks. Having said that, I don't wake up and think "heyyy"
When will you be back in Britain?
As soon as we can, we are on a huge tour of America right now and then, who knows?We're hoping to release our new album next year so we should be back when thatcomes out. Can I just say to all our fans we miss you and we hope you're missing us! Idon't want them to forget us!
Your tour is 40 dates long. Don't you get bored doing the same thing nightafter night?
Nooo. We do have favourite parts of the show. I love Backstreets Back cos that's sucha special song for me and I look forward to doing it every night. there are parts whichwe find hard work, but apart from that, I love it. Let's face it, we perform to screaminggirls every night don't we? it's not too tough.
Is being a pop star hard work?
It's really hard. We spend all our time traveling, or going to interviews or doing TVshows or working on our new album. When you say it like that it doesn't sound toohard but when you actually do it, it's tiring. There's no time for romance
If you could make three wishes what would you wish for?
My three wishes would be for peace and love and for my family to stay fit, healthyand happy. I'd also wish that the Backstreet Boys were always happy. I also wish thatthe whole world would stay happy forever, but that's eight wishes!
What do you do if you feel down?
I talk to Nick. He understands me more than anyone. Or I phone my family cos theyjust know me so well. They can tell by the sound of my voice if I'm happy or sad. Iplay basketball or I play on my Play Station. Sometimes I sing to myself
Do you still have friends outside of the BSB's?
Yes! I love it when I see them because we can hang out and talk about normal thingslike girls, movies and cars. We all lead different lives and cos they're at college theytell me al these great things they do. It makes my life look boring!
why what do they do
I can't tell you that! It's boy stuff
Do you wish you were at college?
No way! After I had my operation I had some time away from the band and I hadnothing to do. It was wild, man! I couldn't believe it because I am so used to gettingup early and traveling all the time. I missed life with the band. I mean, I REALLYmissed it. so, no, I wouldn't change a thing and I think, because I've had experience ofbeing away from the band, I know how it feels.
Will the BSB's be splitting up soon?
Maybe one day, but not for years. We are all ambitious people and our ambitions dolie down different avenues, so one day we might decide to do different things. But atthe moment, we all really love what we do. We love Backstreet Boys.
