A: There are a lot of changes; first off my voice has changed quite a bit. My voice has matured a lot, and fans will notice my music has more of an R&B style to it.

Q: Are there any plans do any movies or television shows?
A: I’ve done a little bit of everything, I was going to do a television show of my own, but it was cancelled. I’ve also worked on the Pokemon soundtrack, which was a lot of fun to work on.

Q: How do you balance and stay grounded, not allowing all this success to go to over your head?
A: I have my parents, and my mum is my manager so she keeps me grounded. On the road, I have a tutor who helps me with my schoolwork.

Q: How is touring with Britney Spears different than touring last year on the All That Music Tour?
A: All That was fun and awesome. There were a lot more kids at that show compared to Britney. There’s a much older crowd at the Britney shows, too.

A: I prefer to be myself, but I’ll always be Nick Carter’s little brother and that’s cool with me.

Q: Are there any downsides to being in the music business? Would you have preferred to have finished school then go into the business? Do your friends back home treat you any differently because you’re famous?
A: There are downsides to it, but I love performing and I wouldn’t change anything about it. I wouldn’t change anything about when I started going into the business, I have a tutor who helps me out a lot. Some of my friends treat me differently, but they’re cool.

Q: What do you like about performing? How have the fans responded to you?
A: The best thing about performing is being with the fans; they make us who we are. The fans have been really cool and fun to be around. I love performing for them and just hanging out with them.

Q: What can people expect on your second album?
A: They can expect a fun album. It’s supposed to be like a house party.
