From: Tiger Beat

Nickolas Gene Carter practically grew up on stage with the Backstreet Boys! We caught up with the groups youngest member for this revealing chat.

Q: How are fans in America different than fans in the rest of the world?
NICK: I think that the one thing that's really cool is American fans pay attention. They study you. And in a way, it's very cool, because you know they're paying attention to what you sound like.
Q: You've really grown up in the group. Do the other guys treat you differently now than they did when you were younger?
NICK: When I was a lot younger in the band they used to tease me a lot. But now that I've gotten bigger, they don't do that anymore.
Q: What sort of girls catch your eye these days?
NICK: It really doesn't matter to me what she looks like as long as she has a great personality and she's really nice. I don't care if she has blond, dark, or even green hair! But she's gotta be independent and like herself and not care about what other people think.
Q: Can you describe your perfect date?
NICK: I would take her out to the beach at night. There would be a full moon with a bunch of stars out. The sand would be pure white, beautiful, and soft. The ocean would be very calm with the moonlight shining off the
water.
Q: Ohhh...Have you ever tried to have a serious girlfriend since joining Backstreet Boys?
NICK: It doesn't work. If we were just in the States, maybe it would work, but, man, we are everywhere! And we're always gone for months at a time. Just being friends with somebody [is hard]. Be we definitely do like girls!
Q: What's the strangest thing you've ever eaten in a foreign country?
NICK: Oh, man, we were in Thailand. They've got the spiciest food, oh my
God, that I ever had in my life. (That's where I'm from! If Nick was my friend...I would've warned him...but he's not....)
Q: Does anyone in your family travel with you ontour?
NICK: My sister does. She's 15 and her name is Bobbie.
Q:What is the best and worst things about being on the road?
NICK: I guess just all the people you get to see and the places you get to go. A lot of people out there don't get to do all the traveling that we get to do. We're very fortunate, so that's the best thing. Worst thing is probably just being away from home.
Q: Would you like to do some acting someday?
NICK: Yeah, definitely.
Q: What would your dream role be?
NICK: Probably my dream role would be in an action movie. I would love to do an action movie, something like Mortal Kombat. Or like a war movie where you are runnig through the jungle. Or a Predator movie. It's got to
be action, like the end of Independence Day. I would also like to direct a movie. I'd like to produce and direct.
Q: Who would you star in the movie you directed?
NICK: Me! ::laughs:: . The thing is, we've talked about this a few times, that maybe in the future it would be cool if we made a movie about ourselves. That would be cool.
