I really enjoy making different types of music than I do with the Backstreet Boys.

Everybody that I meet inspires me. You can learn so much from any person that you meet any day on the side of the street.

I wanted to be at my sister's funeral, but my family has always had a complicated dynamic.

Don't ever let anyone else write your story for you.

As long as you know, within yourself, that you're no better than anyone else out there, you're OK.

With my solo music, I really try to step out of the box and do stuff I don't get to do with the boys. I wanted it to be fun, rock-infused and try some new things while going back to my roots. "All American" the song is one of my favorites from the album, which is why I chose to title the album after it. To me, it's the perfect song to represent the feel of the album.

I never really am in awe of people because we are just equal at the end of the day.
