Everyone always says, 'When you look at a boy band, one of them has to be gay.' No, they don't.

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

The biggest misconception about me is the bad-boy image that everyone stuck me into due to my tattoos, drug days and the constant changes I make with my hair color.

But people who really know me, know that I am not a bad boy at heart... I am a big teddy bear.

We didn't realize there were that many boy bands until we started touring in Europe. I don't think we were ever affected by it since a lot of the groups in Europe didn't really sing live, but we did and would perform a cappella as well.

I, personally, am trying to get more and more involved with the gay and lesbian movement, very much so.
