It was your birthday in August. What did the other guys get you for your birthday?
NOTHING! Zilch! We had our after-party at a club, so all the guys were with me to celebrate, but the little runts didn't give me nothing! But it's hard for us to get gifts for each other cos we're always on the road.

A girl you're seeing is exciting, intelligent and caring, but she's a bit on the chubby side. Do you keep seeing her cos it's about personality not looks, or dump her cos she's not your type?
If I really cared about this person I don't think looks - weight-wise or whatever - would matter. Beauty is within the person.

Who is the funniest BSB to have an arguement with?
AJ cos he stutters. He goes, 'Da-da-da-don't say that!' and he just cracks us up. You can always tell when he's saying something that isn't true cos he'll stutter.

Have you ever had anything precious stolen?
One time when I was going over to England, I had a bag full of stuff stolen. My clothes, a bunch of shoes, a lot of my jewellery - like the cross my mother gave me - a watch that was a personal gift from my manager and an earring I really cherished. Losing sentimental stuff really hurts. It's not the price, it's the feelings that go with it.

Do you sing songs like I'll never break your heart because you want more fans or because you care about your fans?
That song is a love ballad which is trying to gain a person's love. We do try to gain the love of our fans. Every place I go, at the end of every show, I aleays say, 'Hey, the Backstreet Boys will never break your heart.' We want them to know that we're not planning to just come and go like some other boyfriend may do - or some other group. We really care about our fans.
