You've been on tour in America for ages..... Nick: "Yeah we know. It seems weird. Ever since we started in Backstreet Boys we've spent most of our time in Europe. Now we're at home on tour. It feels weird cos we know it so well." Brian: "I'm homesick for Europe! The other night I really wanted to go over to England or Germany to visit some friends we've made there over the past few years." When will you go back to Europe? A.J: "Hopefully in early 1999, but our schedules are still being worked out. I want to go back real soon. Maybe I'll come to London on holiday." Where do you love to go to on holiday? Howie: "Jamaica is really cool. Everyone has this laid back attitude. I love it, but it drives A.J. mad. He likes to be out there doing his thing." Kevin: "Everyone wears bikinis or shorts in Jamaica. It's like: 'Take your clothes off everyone!'. We like that, especially when we see the girls...." Howie: "I love to go to Florida Keys. Especially Key Largo, it's beautiful." A.J: : I really like California, Malibu Beach." Kevin: "My back garden!" What do you always take to the beach with you? Nick: "Suntan oil, a towel and some shorts. That's it! I don't read at all. I just swim and play volleyball." Brian: "A hat. My head burns otherwise!" A.J: "A good book or magazine that we're in, HA!" Howie: "My phone, so I can catch up with my friends and family." Kevin: "Someone to rub lotion on my back!" You appeared on stage with Brandy, what's she like? Nick: "Real sweet. She's a huge TV star and a singing star, but she doesn't act like she is Miss It." Brian: "She told us she loves our songs, wich is really nice. When we danced with her on stage, she really got into it." A.J: I love that song 'The boy is mine'. It's my song of the summer!" Have you got any exclusive news for the BSB fans? Nick: "Yeah, Kevin is a superstar model!" Howie: "Nick has been beaten on NBA Jams (computer game) by a 12-year-old fan!" A.J: "We might have something new to release real soon, but it's a big secret." Brian: "And Aaron's driving us all completely nuts on tour!" What does he do? Brian: "He jumps around, sings, screams, plays games, hits us with things, but he's still a great little guy! Honest!" Nick: "Before we go on stage every night we go through this ritual of singing a song called 'Hard Work' with our roadies and minders, it gets us in the right frame of mind and Aaron is desperately to join in! But he can't cos he's too little." You're now the biggest boyband in the world. How does it feel? Nick: "Amazing. But we don't see ourselves like that. We're still the same guys with the same likes and dislikes. We love Basketball and we hate business meetings." Howie: "I quite like business meetings. I like to know what were up to and how much money we're spending!" Kevin: "The only thing that has changed now is that we can't go out as much in America. Before we could go anywhere and no-one would recognise us, it's not the same now. We have loyal fans here too." A.J: But it's good because when we're really famous in Europe, all my friends would say, 'But you're not on the radio here...' Now I can say 'See I am famous!" Nick: "It's like a dream come true!"
