Time for Kids interviews Nick
Nick gave TFK an inside look at what it's like to perform with his brothers, life on the road and how he copes with his diabetes while on tour.
TFK:
What's it like being in a band with your brothers?
NICK JONAS:
It's amazing. We get to do a lot of things that most brothers do not get to do together. It's really cool!
TFK:
Are you guys competitive with each other?
NICK:
Only when it comes to sports. We are not competitive in our career. In our career we are very supportive of each other.
TFK:
What do you do on the road for fun?
NICK:
We like to play tennis, wiffle ball, hang out with friends when we have the chance, and go see movies.
TFK:
You performed on Broadway when you were younger. What was that like?
NICK:
Performing on Broadway was amazing. It was a great training tool for what I am doing now. My favorite memory on Broadway was performing as Gavroche in the final cast of Les Miserables.
TFK:
What is the biggest challenge you have faced since finding out that you have Type 1 diabetes?
NICK:
There aren't too many challenges. But if I had to choose one it would be managing my blood sugar levels on the road.
TFK:
What advice do you have for kids who have a life-long disease?
NICK:
Keep holding on! Try your best to take care of yourself in whatever way you have available.
TFK:
The band goes on tour with Miley Cyrus in October tell us a little about that?
NICK:
It will be our first arena tour. We are so excited to be able to have the opportunity to tour with one of our really good friends. We have heard that the dates are selling out in less than one hour in cities all over the nation.
TFK:
How has the tour been so far this summer?
NICK:
The tour has been amazing. It is one of my favorite tours so far. We have visited states from California to New York. We even went to Puerto Rico.
TFK:
We heard that you just finished a pilot show for the Disney Channel? What's the show about?
NICK:
We did a pilot for Disney. We really can't talk about it.
TFK:
How does your most recent album, Jonas Brothers differ from It's About Time.
NICK:
This new record is full of a lot of personal experiences. It was really cool how we were able to put all of the things that happened to us and make the record we wanted to make. I think it is more mature and rocks hard.

Miley and Nick- a not so cute couple
According to PopStar Online, Miley Cyrus (a.k.a. Hannah Montana) and Nick Jonas have dated. However, there seems to be widespread confusion as to whether or not Miley and Nick are dating.
Except for their youth, Miley Cyrus and Nick Jonas seem to be a made for a Hollywood couple. After all, on Disney's Hannah Montana show, Miley plays a famous pop star singer who leads a double life as an average teenage girl during the day. Nick Jonas, on the other hand, is a real life pop star who sings lead vocals and plays the drums and keyboard with his brothers in their band, The Jonas Brothers.
Nick said, "She has to be kinda quiet, like a serious person — totally driven. People say I'm competitive, but I consider myself to be very driven." Miley is clearly quite driven, otherwise, she would not be Hannah Montana.
But those similarities do not seem to be enough to convince people that Nick and Miley make a cute couple. In a currently running poll by PopStarMagazine almost two thirds of the over five thousand respondents to date, don't think Miley Cyrus and Nick Jonas make a good couple.

Nick's Scariest Moment
It was the fall of 2005. The Jonas Brothers were on tour- and something was very wrong. Nick, who's normally outgoing, energetic and happy, wasn't acting like himself. In fact, he was acting mean.
"I started experiencing weight loss, a bad attitude- things that weren't me," Nick says. "So after the tour we went to the doctor and found out I had diabetes. The first thing I asked the doctor was if I was going to die. It was crazy!"
Nick spent three days in the hospital learning all about the disease, which occurs when your body can't regulate sugar. "It was hard. There were times when I just didn't want to have it," he says. Now he wears a device called the OmniPod to regulate his sugar. "It was a learning process," Nick says, but he wants his story to help others. "Once my family felt like we had it under control, we decided to tell the world!"
