My parents just tell me, ‘If you know what you want, you should stay determined and go for it. You can do anything.’

I don't have to go back to Australia until next year to finish shooting [the "Matrix" sequels]. It actually works out great, because I have the time needed to support the album and tour. ... It's kind of hard juggling both of them, because it's double the workload. But the way I look at is I just let it work itself out, let it flow. If I don't think about it, it won't drive me crazy.

You have to enjoy your job; you should wake up every day and love what you do... I honestly do... From the bottom of my heart to the depths of my soul. I'm truly happy.

If you want to go to the mall, you have to take security. But it's always cool. The kids are amazing.

In film, you are a totally different person than in the video.

I know that people think I'm sexy and I am looked at as that. It is cool with me. It's wonderful to have sexy appeal. If you embrace it, it can be a very beautiful thing.

I wanna be the best at what I do. I wanna sing, I wanna dance, I wanna act. That's about it.
