Girly Nation: Are there any questions that you hate being asked?
Jesse: ::Laughs:: No, not really. I still appreciate all of them.

Girly Nation: In your present boy band, there's usually a member with a distinguishable characteristic such as, "The Big Brother," "The Rebel," "The Shy One," etc. does Dream Street follow those so-called "Boy band rules"?
Jesse: I think so. Me being the youngest, I think that I'm like, the baby of the group, I'm like, the little brother of the group. I think Frankie being the oldest is like, the "Big Bro" of the group. Greg is like...Mr. Personality. Matt is like, Mr. Hilarious, and Chris is like the Ladies Man.

Girly Nation: Lately, Dream Street has been everywhere! Do you think that you have matured faster than a typical guy your age because of your career?
Jesse: Well, I think that a lot of fourteen year olds aren't doing what I'm doing right now. I used to play baseball last year, I was pitcher on JV, and I was playing with all my friends and stuff and I still do both, but I think that fourteen year old does not usually have a professional life, so I think I guess, kind of in a way

Girly Nation: What the next single coming off your album?
Jesse: We're not really sure, but we think it might be I Say Yeah, which should be released in October.

Girly Nation: You all have great style! Are there stylists that pick out your clothes for you?
Jesse: Well, when we do a photo shoot, yeah, we have a stylist that comes in, who is usually different every time but yeah, it's cool because we kind of let them [choose]. They've seen other photo shoots and they see our personal style, and they come in and bring our clothes and usually we love everything that they bring in.

Girly Nation: Are you having a good hair day today?
Jesse: Today? No, actually, I just woke up. I just came back from California and I'm still getting used to the time change.

Girly Nation: How do the fans on the west coast compare to those on the east coast?
Jesse: I think the fans on the west coast are more laid back and easy going, and way cool. The fans on the east coast like...freakin' nuts, they're like crazy. I love the west coast. I love being in California.

Girly Nation: Did you have time to do any sightseeing while you were in California?
Jesse: Well, the boys, the five of us, we're not into sightseeing, we just want to go on rides and stuff. We went by the golden gate, and saw that. We went down the windiest road...what's that called...well, you know what I'm talking about!

Girly Nation: I hear you like BBMak! Are we going to see Dream Street play unplugged, similar to how BBMak plays live?
Jesse: I don't know, hopefully. I think BBMak is a great group. And I'd love to do something like that.

Girly Nation: Have there been any wild fan interactions yet?
Jesse: Yeah, we've had a few of those. We've had a few clothes ripped off our backs, and fans jumping up on our autograph table. We've had of those crazy fans, whacked up incidents.

Girly Nation: Being the youngest member of the group, are you often picked on by the other guys?
Jesse: Yeah, all the time, but we just play around with each other I'm about the same size as all of them, so I can probably kick their butts, haha, no just kidding.

Girly Nation: This coming school year, are you planning on attending a normal high school, or will your schedule be so demanding that you have to study with a tutor?
Jesse: We don't really know yet. Right now, we will be attending our high schools. I will, and the other boys will. If we get too busy, which we might, in September, since it's really booked with everything, we're doing a tour with HealthSouth. We might need to get tutors. But so far, we're still going to remain in public school.

Girly Nation: How have you changed since the beginning of Dream Street in May of 1999?
Jesse: For one, my voice changed.... I could hit high C, not it's the way low C, HAHA, I think the group has gone together as a whole. 3 years ago, we were just practicing a couple of our songs, and kind of learning the dance steps. Not all of us were dancers, I think the only professional dancer was Chris; he was the only one with formal dance training. I've come along way with my dancing. I think that the whole group, we just know each so well now, that we have come a long way

Girly Nation: Now that you have stabilized a very good name for yourselves, are you finding it hard to do normal teenage activities like...going to the mall, or going to movies?
Jesse: You know, sometimes yes, I mean, it's going to get worse, but we love that, we love walking down the mall and it's just like "Yo" but that's a great feeling when you're just chillin' at the mall and the people are just like "I know you" and "what's up".

Girly Nation: Is there anything you particularly request, like a food item, in your dressing rooms?
Jesse: Well, I usually bring a ball; Frankie and I usually throw a ball around. Most people warm up by like, stretching and stuff, we just go play sports, or we go work out before we get on stage, we usually bring some weights backstage and we lift and stuff. I have fruit roll ups backstage though.

Girly Nation: Fruit Roll Ups, What Flavor?
Jesse: Strawberry
