Nick: (about former father-in-law Joe Simpson) I don't pretend to understand Joe. I don't know if he ever liked me. Was he an influence in our marriage? Absolutely. There were times when I wished he would just let go a little bit. (edit) Nick: I was propositioned by a mother and a daughter back in 1997 when 98 Degrees were performing. In some places, the mother-daughter combination might be intriguing but not so much in Nebraska. It was kind of creepy. (edit) Nick: I‘m definitely a relationship guy. I don‘t think bachelorhood is for me. (edit) Nick: I’ve made no secret of the fact that I love kids and can’t wait to have them. (edit) Nick: (on new girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo) I've found love again. (edit) Nick: ... I'd gladly retire and hang out with the kids and clean the house. I want to have a good life and great family, and from a professional standpoint I want to be successful, but it's not the most important thing at all. (edit) Nick: (jokingly) I think she'd [Jessica] be the first to admit that she has ditsy moments, and it became evident very early on that it was going to be a major plotline on the show. But come on. She's not Anna Nicole Smith or anything. (edit) Nick: I love kids, and I can't wait to have kids. I just want to make sure that it's the right time in both of our lives and especially for her... She's got a lot of things she wants to do, you know, career-wise - musically, acting, so whenever she's ready - I'm probably ready. (edit) Nick: (on song writing) There's a lot of reflection that goes on whenever I write a song - it's been a wild whirlwind last couple of years and there's a lot to talk about, and hopefully that's evident in the music. (edit) Nick: (on his life's dream) To me, having kids is the ultimate job in life. I want to be most successful at being a good father. (edit) Nick: I know it's a little hypocritical of me since I have three, but I've always enjoyed girls without tattoos. (edit) Nick: If I had a choice between a designer shirt and the newest DVD player, I'd go for the DVD player. (edit) Nick: I knew that the only way for me to do an album I could be proud of was to let it all hang out. Unfortunately, it also coincided with a point in my life where that was maybe a slightly painful thing to do.
But it wasn’t like I revealed the fact that I was getting divorced through my music. Our life and our situation was so public, everyone knew what was happening. What I was doing was expressing my feelings about it. I don’t want anyone to listen to the album and take it as a word-for-word account of what happened. It’s not any commentary on Jessica. This album is inspired by that portion of my life, but that chapter is closed. (edit) Nick: If I ever get used to cameramen following me around and taking video footage of me, someone shoot me, please. It’s not life as I want it. You get more used to them, but to say you forget they were there, that a lie. It’s impossible. There’s a guy there with a camera; how can you not notice that? (edit) Nick: I don’t feel the desire to jump back into any kinds of reality TV. The only thing I can see myself doing is some sort of Amazing Race, challenge-driven thing. (edit)
