Nick’s Tough Questions
I’d go Anywhere for You, but please.....
If you could be on the cover of Smash
Hits with anyone, who would it be?
(Pauses and sighs - Nick’s very tired at the moment) I dunno. Bryan
Adams. He’s really cool and I like his music.
What did you get in the post this
morning?
Oh, I didn’t pick up anything. Did any of the other Boys get anything? No.
Sometimes we get fan mail - it depends where we are because we’re always
travelling. I try to reply to mine personally.
Have you ever been in a helicopter
No, never. I wouldn’t like it either - I don’t think they’re very safe and I hate
flying. It’s a big problem, in a way, because we do so much travelling, but I’ve
kind of got used to it. But I still dread flying. I just try to sleep through the
whole flight.
Who’s your worst enemy?
I don’t have a worst enemy and the group doesn’t either. I’m glad I don’t have
enemies.
Do you believe in things like life after
death?
I believe there’s something else besides this when you die. I haven’t a clue
what it’s like - I haven’t got a mental picture of it or anything. I just believe
there’s something there.
What’s the most annoying thing anyone’s ever
said to you?
I dunno. I’m glad that people don’t tend to say anything annoying to us, and if
they did I probably wouldn’t tell you.
(We press him a little bit)
Sometimes the guys say stuff like, "fix your dance moves" to me - small things
like that - and I get really P.O.’d.
When was the last time you were really
horrible to someone?
(Nick has another yawn) Like I said, I don’t believe in being mean to
anyone. I’m a really peaceful person. That’s something I get from my
family.
Have you ever sent anyone a bunch of
flowers?
No, never. I’ve picked flowers for my mum (aww) ‘cos I couldn’t afford to send them. Has anyone sent me flowers?
Apart from the fans, no, no-one has.
If you held in your hands the book that held all
the answers of the universe, what colour would the cover
be?
(After a pause of several centuries) It’d be black. I think that a book
that extravagant or that big would have to represent the universe, which is
dark. It’d be the colour of space.
Who in the band annoys you
most?
Hmmm. (Laughing) I don’t think anyone really annoys me. OK, well
let’s put it this way, I’d rather not say it, because if I did, when they read the
interview they’d be really P.O.’d with me.
What’s the most exotic thing you can
cook?
Fish. I cook it on a pan. I have it just basically by itself - when I go to the
Florida Keys the fish is really beautiful.
What’s the most expensive thing you’ve ever
bought, and how much was it?
Err, I can’t really say. Probably a gold chain that cost about $300. I bought it
for myself, yeah. How come I haven’t bought a flash car and house? Well, I
haven’t got a driving licence, and I’d rather stay at home with my
parents.
Do you get chatted up a
lot?
Chatted up? What’s that? No, I don’t get chatted up much. We’re very busy
all the time, so no one gets the chance to talk to us that much. That’s OK - it
can be cool to have a little bit of privacy.
Have you ever cheated on a
girlfriend?
Hmm....I’m not gonna say yes, and I’m not gonna say no.
What’s the cheapest present you’ve ever given
anyone?
Usually when I buy a present, I make sure it’s something that means a lot. I
guess it may be cheap, or whatever, but if it means something to the person
receiving it, it isn’t cheap to them. (What a
sweetie!)
What was the last thing that made you
angry?
(Sighs) Probably, erm....I dunno. I can’t quite think of what the last
thing was. I’m pretty laid back.
Would you be a fan of the group if you weren’t
in it?
A fan? I dunno. I like our music - it’s pretty cool, so I might be a fan. I guess
I’d buy our records.
What do you wear in bed?
Underwear. A T-shirt and boxers. That’s about it.
What’s the most drunk you’ve ever
been?
Drunk? I’ve never been drunk. I’m under-age. so I’d get myself into trouble if
I drank. It’s never interested me. I’ve heard from some people that drinking
isn’t bad for your health if you keep it in moderation, but personally I don’t like
it.
How often do you shave?
That’s a weird question. I just shave a small amount about once a week. I
don’t need to shave any more than that really.
