And we're like, 'Oh, yes, we are,' " he tells People magazine.
In a special newsstand-only issue dedicated to the popular brother musical act, out Friday, Kevin, 20, Joe, 18, and Nick talk about their celebrity crushes, latest obsessions, style secrets and hidden talents.

Nick opens up about wearing a purity ring, which symbolizes his commitment to abstinence until marriage: "It's a personal decision. It's another way for us to be different," he says. "Some people are like 'Whoa' -- taken aback. Why is the world so freaked out that we have standards?"
