"We get to do different interviews that we see on TV and we're like, 'Why did we say that?'"
"My parents thought I was the best person. I mean I'm good, but I'm not perfect. I like partying, and we live so close to New Orleans. If my parents ever found out I went to New Orleans at Mardi Gras - woo!"
"I've been drinking this bottled water which has special herbs and essences in it which are supposed to make you a bit frisky. I've already had three bottles today!"
"I knew we weren't going to win anything [at the Grammy's] because the Academy isn't open-minded enough to see our music is real."
"What can I say? I'm a love machine... well... yeah... no, maybe I'm not."
"Nobody loves me. I get no love."
"I'd vote myself off the island."
"I never would have thought that by 21 I would have done the things I've done."
"I'm so bad about showing my feelings. Sometimes I would like to show my feelings, but I feel so cheesy that I stay in my corner and keep my secrets to myself."
"What makes our group so tight is that everybody has their individual strengths, and JC and I tend to worry about the business side of it."
"In a way I kinda wish we hadn't broken the record because that's gonna be the focus from now on."
"My mom still has control over me, and she knows it. She'll ground me on the road if she reads about me getting in to trouble."
"What? I totally played that off!"
"We'll pretend there's something wrong with the microphone and they'll freak out and spend thirty minutes trying to find out what's wrong. We like to break [new producers] in that way."
"I'd say Howie. He's probably the nicest." (favorite member of BSB)
"I like to sing a lot of country [in the shower]: Garth Brooks, Lone Star, anything by Vince Gill."
"The magazines don't want us to date normal girls. They do anything to put us together with celebrities because, then, there will be better headlines."
"We're finally in charge of our lives, and until [the lawsuit] happened, we didn't even know we weren't in charge of our lives."
"The five of us sat down and decided that we were going to stick together, no matter what. Even if that meant we'd just be performing karaoke together in small bars, that didn't matter, because at least the five of us would still be together. There was no way we'd let them be the end of us."
"I've fallen in love with [Julia Roberts] ever since Notting Hill."
"I don't like it when people are just going at it in front of someone. It's like, 'Hello, get a room.'"
"I don't like to waste time. If I sit still too long, I feel like I'm wasting my day. I like everything to be on schedule."
"I don't think I've ever dated anyone who wasn't a friend first."
"We had to turn down Puff Daddy..."
"If we spend a month in the UK, that becomes our home. If we spend a month in Germany, that becomes our home. Home is where we spend the most time in hotels."
"I'd be a boa constrictor - long, big and exotic." (kissing style)
"Growing up I loved Mash and Cheers. Those were my favorite shows. Now I don't even know what is on TV. I still like Friends a lot, when I get to see it."
"When I'm settled down, I'm definitely going to go somewhere in the country."
"I heard that Celine Dion was pregnant with my twins."
"I don't need to supersize it, it's big enough."
"I love all the artists that have crossed over into our territory, Shania, Dixie Chicks, Garth, everybody. I don't think we would ever do a whole country album. Maybe I would."
"I think I lost a filling."
"If I could be a fly on the wall, I'd be a fly on the wall of Jennifer Lopez's bedroom."
"I think the best gift is being able to go home and spend time with your family. I love talking and eating home-cooked meals and not even thinking about work."
"They were so impressed [with Meredith], and that was just such a proud moment, and I was just like so happy, I had chillbumps. And there's no feeling like that. That's what I thrive on as a manager, pride in my artists."
"People do have to understand that we have lives as well. It's not like I'm calling up your house or coming over and knocking on your door to know what you're eating tonight or what you're doing with your family. You know, there's a certain line."
"The worst [advice we've gotten]? Sign on this dotted line."
"Actually, I didn't want to star in this film. I'm more interested in producing than acting. This will probably be one of the few films I do."
"Somebody might get criticized for doing some movie that totally sucks, then turn around and be incredible. Every actor goes through that, not just musicians who act. It's hard for fans to expand their imagination about their favorite musicians or athletes, but in the end I think it totally works."
"Actually we hadn't really even thought about the awards. We're just nervous about the performance."
"Can we edit this so it looks like I'm smart?"
"He's gonna give us all our [pyro] cues so we won't get hurt, or get blown up or our hair catches on fire, and all that kind of stuff. He says ok, don't be here on this, cause it's gonna go boom. This is the fun part. Blow up things."
"I love dressing up and treating someone to a nice dinner."
"I was actually kicked out of the VIP section of our own party after the MTV Awards. There were so many people in there and it was so busy I couldn't get in. The guy at the door was being such a jerk."
"I love chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, potato skins. I don't like to have a lot of any one food, I like to choose, so I always order lots of appetizers."
"Every time I speak to my mom, I could be on the other side of the world and we always end up having a fight."
"The worst thing we ever did was model for this clothing label called Wacko. They were the worst clothes ever! They were horrible and tight."
"I get saucy fanmail though. Letters stuffed under my hotel door saying 'meet me in room 253' and that kind of stuff. Marriage proposals, invites to girls' proms."
"When I go back home, I see my buddies all the time. They all come over to my house, cause I've always got to have a party. My friends are crazy and like to party a little too much."
"I hate it when they call me Shorty."
"We can't go to places and just be normal. It's definitely something we had to stop doing, although we don't like it much, but it's part of doing this for a living."
"I have to take a shower because it's the only thing that wakes me up. I am one of those who's hard to wake up, I normally like to stay in bed another 30 minutes."
"In general I like boxers. No bikinis cause those can be way uncomfortable."
"There's many [fans] that are too persistent and they'll do anything to touch you or get your autograph... That's the hardest thing for fans, and above that to understand that we are busy and we can't always give our time to hundreds of girls waiting outside our hotels. Some get upset and we have to deal with that in many cases. If fans lose respect or love for you after such incidents then they were never big fans to begin with."
"For your first album, you have to do a lot of things that you don't want to do for your record company... On the first album, especially the original first album released in Europe, a lot of those songs we didn't even like. There's a lot of techno songs. Like, we don't sing techno, but we had to put it on because of Germany. I mean, we were forced to do a lot of things on the album we didn't want to."
"I see a movement to rock coming in the next couple of years. I think everyone is going to forget about the new boy groups and I think the ones that have made it will stick around for as long as they want to. The fans are great. They won't care about the new wave of rock. They'll stick with us."
"Being on the road, it reminds you of what you have, and to respect your family more because you don't realize how much you'll miss them until you're away from them for a really long time."
"During rehearsals [for the Grammy's], we did walk up the stairs because we figured we'll probably never do this on the real show."
"I'm very proud of [On The Line]. It's my first one. I've never even been on a movie set before! I have the lead, which is very ballsy, and I can't believe I did it. I'm not an actor, I'm saying that right now. But I totally did it for our fans. They've been asking for us to do a movie so bad, and we couldn't find a great script for all of us."
"Everybody knows we like to make fun of ourselves, so we're taking a stab at the word 'celebrity.' The cover is very glammed out and 'ooh, superstar.' And then on the inside it shows what the real 'glamorous' life is in this business -- sleeping in airports and all of that."
"I don't know because it's locked and I don't have a key. Seriously." (what's in his glove compartment)
"After growing up watching The Simpsons, I never imagined I'd actually be on an episode. It was so unreal to see the group animated."
"I don't think you can label us anymore as 'Oh, they're just for tweens.' But some older people who like the records are scared to come to the shows. It's the noise factor, younger kids get crazy and scream. We actually thought about one day having our regular tour and then we'd have an extra show just for adults -- 21 and over."
"We were performing at a radio awards show, and at the end they lined us up for a finale. I was first in line. The announcer said something, and I came out onstage. I looked around and realized the last act hadn't performed yet. I totally stood out in my white outfit, so I acted like I knew what I was doing and started jumping up and down."
"I haven't had much practice on dates, but I like to do something different every time -- picnics, going to the beach and even more adventurous stuff."
"I like the theme song to Cheers because I have a lot of friends and it would be cool to be around your friends -- and drink beer!"
"I got there early for Tom Petty [tickets]. It was ten hours with my friend. No one comes to Jackson, Mississippi often, so when they do, everyone is at the concert because it's the thing to do."
"When I get hooked on somebody, I get hooked."
"I like the old school scary movies like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, Fright Night, and Nightmare on Elm Street. They used to scare me when I was younger, but now they're kind of cheesy."
"We're not really big material people."
"We are the lucky few out there that enjoy our job. As long as it's fun and we enjoy it, we are going to keep it going. Once you start saying that you aren't having fun anymore, that's when it will all be over."
"I admit that I like to wear offbeat stuff some of the time."
"It's so important to be there for your friends when they're having trouble."
"I haven't had acting lessons but I've been told that I'm a natural!"
"None of us pluck our eyebrows. These are natural shaped."
"There is going to be celebrity Survivor. I have been asked to do it, but I don't think I'm going to. I won't do celebrity Millionaire again, so I doubt I'll do celebrity Survivor."
"If you like peanut butter and banana [sandwiches] I make the best. You mash the peanut butter and banana together. Then you put a little honey, a little cinnamon and sugar. Then you put it on the bread and toast it. You're suppose to fry it, but I don't have a fryer. That was Elvis Presley's favourite food."
