I loove the Backstreet Boys.

I'll always be a Backstreet Boy.

I'm down with just the Backstreet Boys.

Backstreet Boys, we don't stop. We just keep going.

They wanted to do a movie about the Backstreet Boys.

The Backstreet Boys were so ten years ago. Whatever.

I daydream about Backstreet Boys accepting a Grammy one day.

There's life outside Backstreet Boys that is going on and continuing.

I'd like to tour with the Backstreet Boys because I love them so much.

I'm very proud of being a Backstreet Boy, so why stray too far from the mold?

Without Ace of Base, I kind of feel Backstreet Boys would have never found their sound.

I'm not embarrassed by any of my music. I'll even own up to the old Backstreet Boys albums.

There's some *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys on my iPod. I listen to it if it comes up on shuffle.

The first album I owned was probably a Backstreet Boys album, and shortly after was Shania Twain.

The Backstreet Boys are easy; they're cream. And then here we are, this nine-piece metal militia.

During workouts, I listen to Pandora, and I like the '90s pop stations. 'The Backstreet Boys' is fun!

I would hope somebody out there will still want to hear a Backstreet Boys song when I'm 50-something.

When we're in the studio, and we sing that first note on that record, you're committing to being a Backstreet Boy!

If you are a pop band, don't say you're a metal band. Poison and Warrant were about as metal as the Backstreet Boys.

How did George Bensen cut 'In Your Eyes?' How did I work with the Backstreet Boys? It all comes back to 'Sometimes When We Touch.'

When I was in eighth grade, I created a Backstreet Boys fan site. I came in third place in a fan site contest and got to meet them.

One thing with Backstreet Boys, we never try to rush out an album. We always try to make quality music that can stand the test of time.

Every one of my guy friends I played baseball with were Backstreet Boys fans as well. So it's not something I felt like I needed to hide.

Any vehicle that conveys great songs and the ability to perform them, whether it's 'N Sync or the Backstreet Boys or One Direction, is all good.

I listen to a lot of Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, Britney Spears - the songs just stick in your head and that's what I want to achieve with my music.

The Backstreet Boys posted a cover of our single 'Good Grief.' It was so cool, and they reached out to us, saying, 'When you're in town, come to the show.'

If we play to first time Blink 182 listeners, it's good they are listening to us and not the Backstreet Boys. Old Fans or new fans, it's all the same to us.

Backstreet has been around a long time. Normally, groups like us have a shelf life of two to four years. We always wanted to have a long stay in the music world.

Backstreet Boys fans don't want to hear the New Kids singing all of their hits. Just like our fans don't want to hear the Backstreet Boys singing all of our hits.

Growing up, my parents loved Bon Jovi and Boston and Rush and all that, but it wasn't really connecting with me. I was still in my boy-band phase - Backstreet Boys for life!

Rock is periodically pronounced dead by clear rock critics - killed by world music, or by hip-hop, or electronica, or the Backstreet Boys. But if you wait a year, it comes back to life.

I think it would be cool to maybe do something with Ed Sheeran. That would be awesome and interesting. He writes amazing songs, and I could easily hear Backstreet Boys sing 'Shape Of You.'

This is random, but I thought I was going to have the biggest Backstreet Boys fansite. I'm not even gonna lie: I thought I was gonna marry one of the Backstreet Boys, and I was gonna be his Yoko Ono.

When you talk about *NSYNC or Backstreet Boys - we were like the New Kids, and New Kids were like the Bee Gees. But Girl Radical will be the first ones, and that's a crazy idea. That's what got us so excited.

Backstreet Boys have an international fan base, and fans love what we do. I didn't want to be one of those artists that does something totally different so people would ask, 'Why did he do that?' Is he not proud?'

I'm not an aspiring young actor; I'm a storyteller who made it late in life, and I'm therefore an inspiration to everyone who thinks that, at 23, if you're not in the Backstreet Boys, then you're never gonna make it.

People would say, 'Why are you guys in country music? You look like you're in the Backstreet Boys.' We took so much heat. We always said, 'It's not about hats and Wrangler Jeans. It's about a state of mind. Country is in our souls.'

There was a point when dancing to music became cheesy after the boy band era of NSync and Backstreet Boys, but there were always those who craved that kind of visual satisfaction. K-Pop really filled that void, because it's so geared to spectacle.

I think that N*SYNC had opportunities laid out in front of them because of their connections with people whom Backstreet were affiliated with, and to not utilize those connections would be stupid. That's just life. They're both very talented groups.

When I was still at Interscope, I told them about Rae Sremmurd and we were talking about signing them. I was like, 'This is the hood Backstreet Boys, the black *NSYNC. This is the most ratchet pop is gonna get and this is the most pop hip-hop is gonna get.'

I really believe that's one of the many reasons that God had put me right in the middle of the Backstreet Boys. There are so many stars today that don't realize the impact they have on young people. Being a superstar is great, as long as you can be a positive role model.

Even when I was on vacation after the Olympia, I was looking for gym to train in. Not only was it 24 hours a day, it was 365 days a year. That may have been a little too extreme, but that is what got me there from that little backstreet gym in England to becoming Mr. Olympia.

I was raised in an Indian household - singing classical music and eating south Indian food. But the second I went to school, it was a different world. I'd be listening to Destiny's Child, Usher and the Backstreet Boys. It wasn't until college that I really found the balance between the two worlds.

I live in Atlanta, Georgia, and none of the other Backstreet Boys live in Georgia. So a lot of times, when people come to my house they're like, 'Hey, is A.J. here?' Or, 'Is Kevin here?' Or, 'Is Nick in the bathroom?' People think we live together and we spend all the time in the world together, but we really don't.
