Q: How did going from playing crowds of more than 20,000 outside of the U.S. to playing in malls back home affect your ego?
I thought it was great, it was a good way to keep us humble. We used to call the U.S. "no-fan land." But outside of the U.S., people would flock us at the airport and at venues. And then we would come back to the U.S. and people didn't know who we were. It was a big joke between us.
Q: How were your relationships with the members of 'N Sync?
We are all from the same neck of the woods, and we had a healthy competition as there always is between similar groups. But they are all talented guys, so our relationships were great.
