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.
I don't sleep very much. I really like to work, though. I feel like a kid in a candy store.
For a Bostonian... we live in the shadow of New York, and to be acknowledged by New Yorkers is really the greatest feeling.
I like being a leader in real life.
I'm very much a leader in a lot of the work that I do or that I've done in my career.
I wasn't exactly uncomfortable when I did my first comedy. I was just very aware of the risks; if you do a comedy that sucks, and you suck in it, then you won't get a chance to do it again.
Producing suits me because I have a business mind and a business sensibility.
I can always see something of myself in the characters I play.
I love the rush of being creative. I really think I live for it.
It's different as a guest as opposed to being a star of a series. A guest star is a whole different responsibility. It's much different than being a regular. You come in, and it's a lot of unfamiliar faces, and you want to try to fit in as best you can, but also you want to stay there without making waves.
When New Kids became really successful, I got a lot of offers to do parts in movies and TV shows, but I was really busy, so I pretty much turned everything down. But I always knew it was something that I would eventually put some energy into.
In high school, I was one of the cofounders of New Kids on the Block my freshman year in high school. But I also started studying theatre in high school my freshman year as well. So throughout high school, I was actually doing both.
I'm not a big fan of table reads or sitting around a table and reading a script. I'd rather do it on set and do it for real.
I love food shows: Anthony Bourdain, Iron Chef, Chopped, you name it.
I wish I was a guy who could have pancakes and bacon and cheesy eggs, but I'd curl up and pass out. I gotta start healthy or I'll be off the rails all day.
A lot of kids do look up to us. But there are just as many elderly people to put us down.
For young filmmakers, Saw is a perfect film. It doesn't cost the GNP of almost every country of the world.
