During the January 2009 press tour promoting JONAS, their comedy series on the Disney Channel, Nick, Joe, and Kevin talked about their first big feature film, which hits theaters on February 27, 2009, and their music.
On Being the Stars of Their Own Movie Rather Than Supporting Miley Cyrus in a Film:
Nick Jonas: "We were honored to be a part of Miley's movie. It was a great success. And then to be asked by Disney to do our own was so exciting. I think we had some real ideas while we were creating our stage and our tour of what we wanted to see. We were able to see the first one in 3D and saw what certain things looked like, and we just saw our movie and it really looks amazing. We're excited for people to go see it. The cool part about it is it's better than front-row seats because you feel like you're on the stage, and you feel like you're behind the scenes with us. It gets some really personal things in there, too. There's this one scene in particular where it captures all the things that we went through in Time Square in New York City on our album release night, which was one of the craziest scenes."Joe Jonas: "In our lives."
Nick Jonas: "And I think it's the only footage in the world of it, so it's kind of something that means a lot to us and I hope it will mean a lot to other people as well."
Joe Jonas: "I think for us our favorite part about it is, for me especially, like, is not the stuff that's on stage, like he said. It's all the stuff behind the scenes. If it's us traveling with our family or if it's us having fun backstage with our band, it's just really a lot of funny things, and we're really excited for people to see it. Really proud of it."
The Brotherly Bond and Do They Ever Fight?
Joe Jonas: "We get that question a lot. Surprising we don't fight that much. I think we probably…I guess we've been trying to figure out why we don't fight."Kevin Jonas: "Someone said, 'You don't have time to fight.' Yeah."
Joe Jonas: "It might be because we have a different respect for each other. Being in a band, we know we can't get on stage and start throwing mic stands at each other."
Nick Jonas: "We could, but it wouldn't be very good."
Joe Jonas: "It would be on YouTube. And we decided we might as well do this and enjoy it and have fun and have respect for each other."
On Who Finds It Hardest to Act and Who is Hardest on Their Performances?
Nick Jonas: "I think I'll take both of those. I'm kind of a perfectionist in a way. I'm very hard on myself when it comes to acting, and that kind of goes hand-in-hand with your first question which is who found it the hardest to act. Not finding it too hard, I guess, but just finding kind of, as funny as it sounds, my personality in this all and kind of the humor that I can find in it. Trying to capture my own personal sense of humor. In real life, it's very dry humor. But sometimes I can't quite master that on camera. Like I said, I'm still learning, and I'm just enjoying every minute of it."
Being 'Disney' and Still Being Cool:
Nick Jonas: "I think, for us, we're just trying to do our best to have fun in everything that we do, and working with great people always helps too."
On Why Their Music Speaks to This Generation:
Joe Jonas: "I think, for us, we write about things that are real to us and the things we go through every day. We're the same age as a lot of the people that listen to our music, and they're going through the same things. We get a lot of feedback from fans saying just thank you either for encouragement, or they understand what we're going through so they're going through the same kind of things."Page 2: On Fame, Rumors, and Their Next Tour
