Quotes from Much Music's Exposed
I'd do a transcript, but the show is 30 minutes long and Nick talks way too much. lol... He basically talked about the same stuff we've seen in other interviews: Why he needed to do a solo album, his life touring with BSB, his feelings about girlfriends, what he wants in the future. He also joked around and talked about boats and basketball. It started off with footage from Sept 2002 with him on a boat then he went to play bball. It showed footage from Much on Demand and when he was at the radio station. Then they showed footage from when he was in Toronto a couple of weeks ago... some concert footage *sigh* memories, backstage meeting fans, etc...
