BRIAN LITTRELL

I've received a lot of positive feedback from both the secular and Christian markets. People seem to be receiving it with open arms and hearts, and are interested in the stories I want to share about my relationship with God and my faith.

I keep everything that is most important to me close to me: my family, my bible, my X-Box - just kidding.

Marriage can be work, it can be difficult, it can be hard, but I think working through those times makes you stronger as a couple and as a unit.

I really believe that's one of the many reasons that God had put me right in the middle of the Backstreet Boys. There are so many stars today that don't realize the impact they have on young people. Being a superstar is great, as long as you can be a positive role model.

Some of the best advice I got from a close friend is marriage is always looked at from the world as 50/50 as to working together to make that 100 percent.

I'll always be a Backstreet Boy.

If I did not have my wife, I wouldn't be married, I wouldn't have the life that I have and I wouldn't have my wonderful baby boy who's not a baby anymore - he's going to be eight-years-old.

I know who I am as a person, as a father, and as a husband.

I just think that the God I serve is compassionate and loving and is forgiving.

A lot of people talk about the one-and-done attitude of college athletes, but if you look at the University of Kentucky, we do build winners.

I've been diagnosed with what's called vocal tension dysphonia. The muscles around my vocal chords kind of constrict my vocal chords from doing what they should do. It's kinda like being a body builder and you have muscles that are so large that they don't allow you to have flexibility, if that makes sense.

Backstreet Boys, we don't stop. We just keep going.

Fans want real songs, they want real experiences, and they want real instruments.

I've always talked about my faith and my relationship with God, through my 'thank yous' on the records and giving the glory where I feel the glory is due.

I daydream about Backstreet Boys accepting a Grammy one day.

I've known for a very long time that making music for the church has been my calling.

I overthink decisions when I should really trust my heart.

I love to do things for people rather than have them do things for me.

I grew up singing in church as a little boy.

I bought my wife Leighanne a silver BMW Z8 sports car one Christmas and tied it up with a big red bow in the driveway of our house.

Backstreet has been around a long time. Normally, groups like us have a shelf life of two to four years. We always wanted to have a long stay in the music world.

I would hope somebody out there will still want to hear a Backstreet Boys song when I'm 50-something.

When you look at every government, they're our elected officials, and you have to have some form of respect for them.

Doctors are not always right, but they are there to help.

'I Want It That Way' is a feelgood song. It's happy, easy to sing along with, and everybody knows it.
