But people who really know me, know that I am not a bad boy at heart… I am a big teddy bear.

Be very, very patient and very open-minded, and listen to what people have to say.

I can’t stress how much my daughter is an inspiration to stay sober. When I come home and she opens those big blue eyes at me, it’s the most amazing feeling I could ever feel.
A. J. McLean
The biggest misconception about me is the bad-boy image that everyone stuck me into due to my tattoos, drug days and the constant changes I make with my hair color.
A. J. McLean
I look good. I feel good and not to sound conceited I sound great.

Our fans want us to be happy and if that means being married or having a girlfriend, they are okay with that. Of course, in this industry it is a bit harder to have normal relationships, but it is possible.

I’m the type of guy who likes to be there 24-7. I’m Mr. Roses.

You just can’t let anything or anyone get in the way of who you are.

I don’t like it when people don’t look me dead in the eye. I move my head around trying to catch their eye.

We didn’t realize there were that many boy bands until we started touring in Europe. I don’t think we were ever affected by it since a lot of the groups in Europe didn’t really sing live, but we did and would perform a cappella as well.

I pray to God I get inside a girl’s head one day and see what in the WORLD they are thinking.

There’s life outside Backstreet Boys that is going on and continuing.

I’m a bit of an insomniac. I go to bed at 5am because I get caught up in watching TV or listening to music at night.
A. J. McLean
I’ll sing outside your window. I’m as old fashioned as they come.
A. J. McLean
Once I went to bed in Orlando and I woke up in Atlanta. I have no idea how that happened.

Communication is so much better when people are vulnerable.

I’m the complete opposite of every clean cut, decent-looking guy you could ever think of. Yet, I have the biggest heart in the world.

I shop more than most women.

I grew up in musical theatre and love to perform on stage.
A. J. McLean
Thinking back on it, I’ve been in this business since I was 3, and I grew up in musical theater, so I was raised and surrounded by gay men and gay women. I was hardly around anyone straight.
A. J. McLean
Everyone always says, ‘When you look at a boy band, one of them has to be gay.’ No, they don’t.
A. J. McLean
I’ve worn a dress at my wedding. I’ve worn 6-inch Louboutins. I’ve got no fear and no shame.
A. J. McLean
I, personally, am trying to get more and more involved with the gay and lesbian movement, very much so.
A. J. McLean
I’m the kind of guy who grew up listening to Three Dog Night and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
