Quotes
"Being in this business you have a tendency to be leery about a person liking you for who you really are or if they like you for who you are up on stage. Do people like me for Howie D of the Backstreet Boys or do they like me for Howard Dorough who is the real me. I just want to make sure a person likes me for who I am and not what I can give them."
(Howie-shaped CD 1997)
"I was a little ham! I would sing higher notes than the girls."
(Howie talking about singing in elementary school "Cool in School" Scholastic Inc.)
"We try to show our fans our appreciation for their support and love for us and our music. As long as we're content with ourselves, we'll keep going."
(Backstreet Boys Special Edition by Angie Nichols 1999 Virgin Publishing Limited)
"When I was about three or four, I used to get up on my grandma's bed and sit with my little guitar and sing Babyface."
(J-14 Presents Life Story Backstreet Boys Fall 1999)
"I am a hot sauce man. I like things hot and spicy, like my women."
(MTV Cribs)
"When I find [my dream girl] I'll know. I'd like someone who is very supportive of my career and has a good head on her shoulders. Also, someone who has a mind of her own that wants to make something out of her life and does not just sit around and wait for me."
(Howie-shaped CD 1997)
