Jonathan Knight of New Kids on the Block often asked fans to take him away from the madness while on tour, stating it was a necessary escape from the chaotic demands of fame. He described how the intense pressure and lack of personal time impacted his self-identity during their breakout years. While he faced anxiety and personal challenges, he noted the absence of guidance for handling such success. Knight expressed no desire to be a young performer today, appreciating certain changes in acceptance but wary of modern pressures.
"Back in the day, I used to let fans kidnap me. I would always find somebody who was a little older who had a driver's license."
"Being a young kid just not even really knowing who you are as a person, we really had no time outside of our career to figure out what life is all about."
