Nick (N): Hey wassup!! (Nick hold up his hands and smiles)

Miquita (M): I'm honoured!

S: Now are you alright without the other boys?!

N: It's a little different, but I've been with the boys since I was 12, or ten years!

S: Arn't you sick of 'em!?

N: (laughs) No I'm not sick of them! I love them, they're my brothers, but em...it was just like, I really wanted to try something new and different - y'know?

S: And it is different, its rockier!!

N: ..basically, yeah, I was like the guy, everytime we'd perform at a show, or something like that, and we'd be in out dressing room before hand, I'd bring in 'System of a Down' [big rock/heavy metal group] and play it, and they'd really hate me for it! (Maquita laughs) They'd hate me for it!

S: But in your fantasy would you love to be head bangng on stage with a guitar?

N: That's what I'm doing now.

S: Head baning as well?!

M: Do you head bang?

N: (he laughs) Uh...yeah! I can't do it now, I need some, like, really heavy metal stuff like 'Korn' or something! (laughs)

M: You need some more hair as well!

N: Huh?!

M: You need the curtains back again!

N: Yeah, I used to have it really long, that's hpw I had it, I might grow it back again....

N: I think I had a mullet, but, I've had like really crazy hair-styles!

M: OK!
