Transcript Q100 Interview -- October 31, 2003 DJ: Well there's a reason for that and this is a great point to bring Nick Carter in. Hey Nick Nick: Yo! Wassup? DJ: How are you doing man? Nick: I'm good man. Just waking up. DJ: Alright.at 9.15? Nick: Well I'm in Vancouver right now. DJ: Oh okay I got ya. Nick: Yeah I'm getting on a plane to see you all. DJ: Cool it's gonna be a fun night tomorrow night. Most fans that have bid on this suit have been pretty cool about it 'hey just let me know if my bid is the highest bid' but there's one group of people that have gone way above and beyond almost a fanatical standpoint to a fanatical status. Female DJ: Nick I'm sure you're a very nice guy but your fans are psycho. Nick: Like artist like fan right? Female DJ: Huh? DJ: Like artist like fan. Female DJ: Like absolutely crazy. I've spend yesterday probably for a grand total of 4 hours arguing with your fans thru the instant messenger because they tracked down my screen name and were yelling at me because they didn't happen to get the what 4 / 5 pairs or sets of tickets that we had to meet you. Female DJ: They're very mean (talking thru Nick) Nick: They're crazy, I love them to death you know ehm they're a special breed of fans you know what Im saying and ehm you know they do crazy stuff sometimes ehm they show their love in that way you know what Im saying? DJ: Would passionate be a polite word to describe them? Nick: Definitely. Well it's a heart of passion you know what Im saying? It's the same kind of person I am you know what Im saying. I'm a passionate person about the things I do so. Female DJ: Well you have. Nick: Well you know ehm I love it I love seeing them go crazy, it's fun. DJ: Dude one woman is flying in from Germany to hang with you. Nick: Oh man! *laughing* Female DJ: Germany, New York, well the Tampa lady is the one who's really pissed. DJ: Lady in Tampa. You know this Tampa chick she's nuts anyways. Female DJ: Freaky yeah. She didn't get tickets, but if she happens to find a way to show up stay clear of her. DJ: Now we auctioned these offers(?) Nick ehm for the thing that we do here in Atlanta its eh a charity Bert put together, he started the radio show where he takes ehm kids down to Disney world once a year. It's called Bert's big adventure. And Ive been waiting for the opportunity to Launch Jack's(?) Big Adventure which is just gonna be taking me and friends of mine to las vegas for a weekend ehm nobody's sick and I think Im gonna do that as now that I have your cell phone number Im gonna auction that off. DJ: I'd be able to fund the trip for 3 years. Nick: You know ehm the funniest thing is I had to change my last number that I had cuz I had this number, God knows why I had it for so long but I had it for like 2 years and ehm I guess I just gave it to the wrong girl or something like that and it got plastered all over the internet and so I was like, it was like crazy and I had to change it and you know but ehm uh yeah I don't think that will be a problem. Female DJ: What's her name? Karen? *laughter* DJ's together: From Tampa *laughter* DJ: Hey Nick what's the most passionate, some would say passionate some would say psycho, but what's the most passionate thing that a fan has done to attract your attention? Nick: Ehm I've had like ehm fans write songs and poems and stuff like that. I've got like 6 books of poems, I've had ehm I've, you know like I've had people write songs and you know send cd's and stuff like that and ehm and they have songs that were actually written TO me and stuff like that. So that's really passionate cause you know and that's how I am too with the music cause you know I write songs in that way you know what I'm saying. I mean I, I write them to ehm you know from what my feelings and stuff like that and if they feel in a certain way they feel some way about what I'm doing or about how I am they express it in that sense(?) and then also too you know ehm showing up places coming from different places just like you said Germany of had a lot of people come from like Europe(?). A lot of people come.I've had a lot of people come from Japan cause I ehm I've did pretty good in Japan too. So ehm they definitely come from there. DJ: You got a couple of seconds to take some phone calls from ehm, well we call them psycho you call them passionate, fans? Nick: Heck yeah! DJ: Alright, Hey Nicky... Nicky: Hey! DJ: You're on hits Q100 with Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys. Nicky: Well hi there Nick, how are ya? Nick: What's up, how are ya doing? DJ yelling: Did you get my song?! I'm flying in from Germany right now. Nicky: Yeah just you just you make fun but ehm I'm the one who sniffed him in Toronto. DJ: Aaawwwww..sniffed him in Toronto? Nicky: Well when he was on the elevator and he kinda was up against me and I sniffed him I couldn't speak but I sniffed it was all good. DJ: Now Nick you hear a story like that and you think uh oh that's cool that's passionate?! Nick: Damn that's more than passionate! DJ: *laughs*That's more like psycho! Female DJ: Yeah. Nicky: No I'm not psycho, I'm not a psycho. Nick: I didn't... I just didn't realize that she did that. You didn't. You were in the elevator with me? Nicky: Uh huh in Toronto right after September 11 and actually they ehm they ehm... Actually I met you last actually in personally actually spoke to you last year at the boat races at SPBA. You actually videotaped my little girl in the elevator with the floaties on. DJ: Are you following him around the country? Nicky: No actually I live, I live here in Atlanta and my ehm we went to a family vacation to Savannah and they were at the boat races so I entered that.I had a friend that worked with the boat races or whatever so she hooked me up with doing ehm cuz Im a nurse so I did like driver's physicals and stuff and Nick and his family were there and so that was cool I got to meet them, it was neat and they're good people. Nick: Hahaha thank you. DJ: Yeah not really much you can say on that huh Nick? Nicky: Yeah. Female DJ: Thanks for sniffing me. DJ : Alright. Hey Nick as I'm on the internet yesterday and I'm trying to do my homework cause we were gonna talk to you today and it's virtually impossible to do any kind of research on you cause to discover what is rumor from what is truth is nearly impossible so I wanted to throw a couple of these things out at you and you can either say yes its true or say no it's just a rumor. Nick: Alright cool. DJ: Ok eh A: you dated Britney Spears. Nick: No. DJ: Not true? Nick: No it was funny because ehm she, one of her ex bodyguards was eh, I guess she'd had something for me like when I was like younger we were touring over Europe just before she started dating Justin and ehm you know when she broke up with him you know she gave me a call on my cell phone and left a message on my phone and this was like right when she had broke up with him. And she was like you know this is not you know ehm you don't hear every time my phone calls so I was expecting a phone call to sue my friend who was a bodyguard at the time. And so ehm I just I never got back to her and I was supposed to go out to like this pepsi challenge eh pepsi race that she was doing and I was like I ain't flying all the way over the west coast for somebody. I don't care who they are you know what I'm saying but I anyways that's kinda how it ended up like that and I never really did get a chance to hang out with her at all. DJ: Well then that brings us into rumor number two that there is a rivalry between you and Justin Timberlake, that kinda started with the BSB and N sync but it continued when the two of you released albums in the week of the same album. Nick: Yeah it was pretty ehm it was pretty weird how it happened ehm you know my record company kinda like dropped the album around the same time like that and actually it was my ehm it was my past management that did it, the Firm and I really didn't want to be released around the same time because he was definatly coming off you know a lot of things that were happening with his relationship a lot of stuff that was helping him out you know what I'm saying. And really People knew me from the Backstreet boys as Nick from the Backstreet boys. They really didn't know me as an individual. They knew Nick from the Backstreet boys so uhm it had released and so I was like I worked my ass off trying to pull as much as I could and its also a different sound from everyone was used to hearing so that happened the way it did you know it was good though at the same time. People saw even though that competition got involved I'm not afraid of anything I don't care. Okay you know what I'm sayin' I'm just here to make music and to entertain people who want to be entertained. DJ: Rumor number 3. You have a couple of kids that you don't talk about publicly. Nick: A couple of kids? Nah, I definitely don't have kids. DJ towards female DJ: did you have your hand up? Other DJ: Nah I was just stretching my arm. Female DJ: I have one. Rumor number 4 is from a reliable source. We talked to your bandmate Brian just a couple of days ago. He was saying that there might be a new Backstreet record. DJ: Before you answer that there's a bit talking about it. Sound file Brian: "And on the guys tip with the group I'm actually talking with the guys and nothing's set in stone just yet but you hear it first on Q100 about possibly the guys getting back into the studio at the beginning of the year and making another record." DJ: Ok Nick carter what's going on with that? Nick: Yeah definitely. I mean we're all communicating right now and we're talking. And uhm I think that's the most important thing. People don't realize that we've been doing this for a long time. We've been in the group for 10 years together you know what I'm saying. I was in the group since I was 11. I started when I was 11 years of age you know. You know how young that is and you know uhm time went bye and people grew up you know some ppl wanted to do different things. Me personally I really wanted to pursue like a solo thing. Do something just by myself and I have experienced that. So I have done that I definatly want to do another record you know what I'm sayin' but uhm right now if we can work it out and we can get a Backstreet record going. I'm in the studio with them. DJ: Cool and it looks like January is the date or the month that you're all looking to do that? Nick: there's nothing set in stone right now. You know cuz January I have to film a movie possibly. DJ: Oh yeah? Nick: There's this movie called The Brew. With films and its like a horror movie so I got casted for the lead role in this film so... DJ: Oh cool! Congratulations on that. Nick: Yeah it was pretty cool. Actually the reason why I'm up in Vancouver is cuz I shot a movie with Carmen Electra, an MTV movie. Dj: Oh yeah that's fun for the whole family. Female DJ: Did she teach you how to do a striptease? Lots of things I don't understand. Nick: Yeah hehe. Dj's talking don't understand what they are saying. Nick: She's really a cool person you know. One of the coolest people that I ever me. Down to earth and no big headedness going on. But I did a little cameo coming up. She and MTV wanted me in the movie. DJ: When I think of Carmen Electra I don't think of a big head. You know we're talking about that psycho fan from Tampa? Nick: Hehe. DJ: Yeah she's on. Hey Karen. Karen: Yeah DJ: Are you the psycho fan from Tampa? Karen: Yeah... DJ: You're on with Nick Carter. Karen: Hey Nick. Nick: Hey what's up? Karen: Nothing. I'm not a psycho fan from Tampa. I am from Tampa. You met me and my roommate several times. We've never been psycho. Nick: That's cool. Female DJ: You met him several times? DJ: Right. Nick: I call it passion. DJ: Remember there was this one time you caught us in your garden? And there was this other time we were in your kitchen? Nick: Yeah. Karen: I'm not a psycho fan. I've never attempted to go to the Carter house. DJ: Come on? You must have thought about it? Female DJ: you know where it is? Karen: No. Female DJ: You know the alarm code. DJ: Karen how old are you? Karen: I'm 20. DJ: What do you do for a living? Karen: I work at a hospital. DJ: Do you have a boyfriend. Karen: As a radiologist assistant. DJ: Do you have a boyfriend?
