--"People think I have a lot of fans, no... I take these people with me everywhere"

--"They're called Bravehearts, people. Don't F*CK with us!"

--"There are so many images today that tell us to wear certain kinds of clothes or talk a certain way or, if you're not thin you're not going to be sexy, you're not going to be attractive and that's not true. We come in all shapes and colors. We all have something to offer. When we realize we all have a special gift we can all be a much happier world."

--"It's not too heavy, it's not too deep, but I believe in every word of it. I hope you do too."

--"Uh, I kind of have my hands full right now." (a fan asked for an autograph in the bathroom)

--"You already got 5 pictures! I'm the same person!" (to a fan)

--"Some people have asked me about that. And I'm sure many more will. What is your name? And I usually tell them you can call me whatever you want, just play my record. But seriously, it doesn't really matter. If you want to call me Joe, call me Joe. Joey, Joey. Before New Kids on the Block, I was either Joe or Joseph. But never Joey. Suddenly, when I became famous, I was Joey." (on being called Joey)

--"The New Kids took a lot of hits for not writing their own music. I never wrote when I was in the group. So this time it's a new experience for me. It's kind of like my baby."

--"And what I do right, is give everyone hits-hints. Not hits. Yes I do give hits. Hints for hits. I give them all hints for our songs and we create hits for our songs. If you understanded that, then you are a good understander."

--"Girls say I'm cute. I don't think I'm cute. It must be my big feet!"

--"Ummm, my sexiest experience was with a girl in a hotel in New York, but that's all I can tell you."

--"My fans have this thing with my name. They love to call me Joooooooooooe. They just can't let go of those o's, man!" "There were 100 girls at the radio station. I'm completely flattered and I'm just lucky to have that kind of fan base. I just want to give back to them. That's all I can do is be the best I can be and return and give them more stuff they can go crazy about!"

--"I wouldn't rule out a reunion, but we're not gonna dance around like we used to."

--"When in doubt, grab the crotch."

--"I'm gonna get hooked up with Madonna and she's gonna fall head over heals for me."

--"Right now I'm in Albany. Don't ask why. I'm on a secret mission."

--"There is one song called 'Without Your Love' that my sister says is way too scary and shouldn't be on the album."

--"I didn't know I could do it, ya know. I just reached down inside and the love ya find will set you free, and before ya know it - you're on TRL three times baby!"

--"Guys are stupid. It's all good, we're dumb and we don't care."

--"It's funny because my father molded me for this business. We used to ride around and listen to Frank Sinatra, Al Jolson and Nat King Cole and just sing songs all the way home. I always liked Frank Sinatra because of his smooth and cool attitude. He isn't the greatest singer on earth and I'm not either but I think that I'm a good entertainer - that's what Frank is and I see that in myself...so that's why I guess I admire Frank Sinatra."

--"Ten years from now ('99): "I think definitely married with a couple of kids and hopefully doing what I have been doing since I was a kid myself and that is acting and singing and performing."

--"As far as a reunion goes, I wouldn't vote against it". listen coming soon...

--"I started writing (the album) 2 years ago, so the stuff is like...I'm still inspired by Lionel Richie, Michael Jackson, and the songs that I grew up with in the 80s. Really good pop tunes. That's how I write. You can understand the lyrics and you can sing along with them, but it's cool. I've never written (songs) before, so it's king of hard to describe."

--"I was just wonderin' if anyone out there wanted to go for a ride on my horse with me. Ya know, put your arms tightly around my waist, and we'll ride into the sunset...anyone want to come along?"

--"Who's the Big Daddy"? (crowd screams "you are"). Oh no, not me. I'm the Mac Daddy!"

--"Yo, I'm lost guys, it's a maze!" coming soon...

--"You gotta love the lip-action in there. You know, 'It's killing me...' " {Joe imitating Britney Spears on TRL} coming soon...

--"I like these jeans, they give a little man. And they keep the cold outside, and the heat on the inside".

--"(sing) Step by step!! (speak) That might've sounded crazy, but it sounds even better on the album!" -Joe on Friday Night Videos

--"There's nothing like seeing your head rolling across the floor...it's touching" (on the NKOTB marbles)

--"I'm a very emotional man."(after singing "I Cried")

--"Boxers or briefs, boxers or briefs? WHO CARES? I hate underwear!"

--"Except I have to admit some days I do feel like a Popsicle."

--"I brought my teddy bear with me on our first tour."

--"Usually when people ask I just say, 'How about those Denver Broncos?' But yeah, I am seeing someone. We started going out during the New Kids's last album, and we've been on and off for about six years. It's hard when I'm on the road. We spend a lot of time on the phone."

--"I think romance is an attitude."

--"Love is trust. I mean... love can be... you can get a real kick out of someone and you can have a lot of fun, but if you trust someone, then you really love them."

--"And when you have it with the one you love, but no longer have to describe in words how you feel."

--"I'm gonna get hooked up with Madonna and she's gonna fall head over heals for me." You see I believe that if both in a relationship takes care of them selves first - then they will be happier together. Because no couple can only take care of each other - and annihilate them selves in front of the other"

--"I think the instant message thing is really cool. Especially for someone like me who couldn't type his way out of a paper bag. But I am really stuck in the 20th century, so I'll stick with the phone. PS... don't call me"

--"You learn who to trust, you learn to read people straight off... I don't need or want a lot of friends."

--"When you find just that nice loving that exists in a family in a girl. The confidence, the deep friendship and understanding - then I think you can spend the rest of your life with her. Because then love has taken over…"

--"Buddy!"

--"When I have a family, if I have a family, I'd like it to be relatively big."

--"I grew up in a big family, I developed a very strong personality. My dream woman would have to be like that too, I wouldn't want to run-over her. I like independent people, who aren't affraid to do there own thing. I'm a hopeless romantic, she'd have to like flowers and candy and all that stuff! Basically, I want a smart, sweet, chill woman to be with."-Joe on his perfect girl

--"So you know, save a couple of votes for me alright? I know those guys up there are gonna get a couple of votes(pointing to the 98* poster above him)but Joe Mac needs some votes. You know what I'm sayin?"(Joe trying to get voters for "I Cried" on TRL) coming soon...

--"Girls say I'm cute. I don't think I'm cute. They think I am. I don't know why. It must be my big feet."

--"Everybody always talks about my eyes."

--"In my mother's eyes I'll always be like, eight years old. So whenever I talk about a girlfriend I know that she'll be thinking I`m too young to see girls - so I'm real quiet about that."

--"One time, I had my shirt ripped off. I get really embarrassed when that happens. I've lost quite a few T-shirts! Ones that I've liked a lot too!"

--"I like my stomach. It's just a little pudgy, it's nice."

--"I think it's my eyebrows." (On Leeza when she asked him what it is about him that attracts girls)

--"3 words"bold, brash, beautiful (laughs) A few more...cocky, cunning, and compulsive."

--"I don't think I'm very ugly or anything, but sometimes the way I look bugs me."

--"See, it takes a real man to show his feelings."

--"My nose is big and sometimes in photos it really sticks out. It beams for miles and miles."

--"You mean I'm up here bustin' my ass and that's what you want to hear!?"

--"Jordan's pretty cool. He's got alot of style and alot of girls, think he's the best looking member of the group. I beg to differ.......ha..ha."

--"I'm full of self-doubt. I often think, 'Oh, my singing's crap... what will become of me?' Fame and fortune can be a prison. Once you've got it, you're frightened you'll lose it."

--"I'm a good person but as far as my life is concerned I'm gonna live it the way I want to live it. If someone says 'don't do that think of your image'. to hell with that. It's that that sends you over the edge."

--Kay McIntyre: "Joseph's the youngest of 9. He's my baby." -Oprah show

--Kay McIntyre: "Joseph's never going to have a girlfriend. I'm his girlfriend... He's gonna be a priest." -Oprah show

--"When I feel sometimes like "Man, I wish I could just have a regular life, a normal job, blah, blah, blah," I think of how fortunate I am and remind myself that to those who are given much, much is expected.

--"We are often our own biggest obstacle, so it's important to stick to it and be ourselves and ....stay the same."

--"I don't know if anyone deserves to be famous. I think you have to be confident otherwise you start to think, Why am I here? Will I end up with nothing?"

--"But I believe for the most part that we all have a calling; we all are put here on this earth to share our talents in a special way."

--"I can't control what people think... a lot of people spend lots of money trying to shape the public's opinion and sometimes it works -- its actually the biggest business in the world. However, it will drive me crazy worrying about that, so I guess I'll be the one dishing out the dough to someone who has convinced me that he or she is going to convey exactly the image that I want. I chose to be in this business, and that's just one of the things that you have to do."

--"I'm a big fan of saying if it's gonna happen it'll happen. I mean, I could just say that forever and just sit on my butt waiting for things to happen."

--"The more you love yourself, the more I want to love you."

--"If you're going to have a chip on your shoulder in this business, you'll have no shoulders left at the end of the day."
