Quotes

Chris: Someone was like 'honk if you like *NSYNC' and I was like beep beep beep there pretty good. (edit)
(Radio Interview wit HOT 99.5 on 9/7/07) 99.5: Any chance that *Nsync will ever get back together?

Chris: I'm sure..I mean we're all friends. We didn't officially ever "break-up", you know, and there will always be room for it. As much as a lot of people are gonna hate that it'll be GREAT! To the people that hate it we'll be like "Hahaha! There ya go! Back again! We told you it was coming back!" (edit)
Chris: (talking about the 2001 Pop Odyssey Tour) We're having a Velcro wall this tour. It's great. During rehearsal i just jump up and stick for a while. Just chill. (edit)
Chris: (On when people make fun of *Nsync) We're *NSUCK, not NSTINK! Get it right! (edit)
(From MTV Live Interview) JC: People are going to categorize you no matter what you do. I mean, there's a million rock bands out there that are called alternative or acid rock or whatever, ya know what I mean? No matter what, you are going to be categorized. We're just gonna keep makin' the music that we make and people'll call it what they call it, but hopefully people will enjoy it.

Carson: How did you guys hook up? Down in Florida?

Justin: HA! This is a long story! Ok. It goes like this Chris originally had the idea, and he called me up. We really just basically went-

Chris: It went bink, bink, bink, bink (points to each guy in the row)

JC: In this order.

Justin: Yeah, in this order, [Chris, Justin, JC, Joey, Lance] down this line. He called me up, its basically friends gettin' together to start a group because they wanna put a group together and um, after about 6 months we were singing in restaurants, forcing our acapella down people's throats while they are eating dinner, we ran into our manager. And ever since the, we got our record deal and went straight to Europe and things have been going great since then. (edit)

I love Nsync!!! Nsync is the best band ever. I love their song I Drive Myself Crazy best. Above all I like JC Chesney and Lance best. They put the most feeling and spirit into what they sing. I'd love to meet them all someday because they all seem nice.
