Connelly: We're getting a peek into your lives on this record, but also we've seen more of your personal lives lately. You're being a little more forthcoming about who you're dating these days. What's that like for the people you're involved with?
Chris: They hate us. [All laugh]
Connelly: Justin, you bear the brunt of it because you have such a high-profile relationship with Britney. What's that like for you?
Justin: You just have to separate what you feel from your career. People look at people in the entertainment business differently. It all kind of runs together, your personal life and your career. Even more so for musicians, because actors and actresses can go to work and play a part, but when they get home there's still a piece of them that they feel like they have. But we kind of put ourselves out there. You get to a certain point where your priorities change and ... [RealVideo]
Chris: It was difficult for the people we were with too, because they have to understand that we're in the business. We came out with all the Celebrity stuff and with everything we talk about, it's all tongue-in-cheek. We're not complaining about it, we're just telling people this is what it's like. It's all in fun, but the people we're with in our relationships ... I know [it was hard on] my ex-girlfriend because she didn't want to be in the spotlight all the time. It was nice to go to the award shows, but she didn't want people prying in her business. She's got her own career. She has her own thing she's doing, and now suddenly all of our relationships are out in the open and it really bothers them. It hurts them because it's not what they're there for. [RealVideo]
Connelly: You're gonna have fun on this run, even with all the pressure. Look, you're smiling already.
Justin: This is cool, man.
JC: This is the biggest tour of all time, and we just get to jump around and look like fools every day.
Connelly: [Pointing to Justin] I noticed that you thanked Pinky on the record. I assumed that it was the character from Pac-Man.
JC: Pinky and the Brain.
Connelly: I always kind of liked Sue better. Is that a shout-out to Britney?
Justin: Yeah.
Chris: Sue is what happens when she leaves ya, right? [All laugh]
Justin: Exactly.
Connelly: You gave a very thoughtful shout out to A.J. from the Backstreet Boys on the phone a couple of weeks ago when you heard he was going into rehab. What did that event mean for you, and what kind of hopes do you have for him?
JC: I feel for the guy. I wouldn't want to go through anything like that.
Justin: As a person, you don't want anybody to go through that, and we wish him all the best.
JC: Speedy recovery, dude. We hope everything's cool.
Connelly: I believe you have a series of covers to share with us? [Distributes magazines and reads headline] We've got "'NSYNC, The biggest band in the world." This is the first time Rolling Stone has done split covers.
Lance: I look like the biggest dork on my cover.
JC: No, Joey's got you beat, hands down. What you looking at, man?
Lance: OK, maybe Joey does.
Connelly: Are they all sold for the same cover price, or can you get one cheaper?
Lance: Mine is way cheaper.
Chris: I heard somebody in the parking lot trying to trade three Chris's for a Lance.
Justin: I just don't think we can live up to this headline.
JC: That's, like, according to my mom, or something.
Justin: They mixed that headline up with like the actual Rolling Stones.
Lance: And you know what I like? They're not making fun of it. They're not like saying [sarcastically], "Biggest band in the world?"
Connelly: No question mark, no exclamation mark.
Chris: Biggest band in the world ... at least today.
Joey Fatone: It's amazing. Can't thank them enough ...
Connelly: Do you have a second single chosen yet?
All: Nope.
JC: This has been the toughest decision we've had to make on the record so far. It was easy to pick the songs to go on the album. But it's hard to pick the single off of this one, because everything is so different.
Connelly: Do you think you'll go three or four singles deep on this record?
Joey: Who knows? Depending on how everyone enjoys it.
Lance: This record's gonna last a long, long time. We could even go five deep.
