I think the first thing that you need to detach yourself from is numbers, because music has now splintered off into so many different forms of media, MTV doesn't play videos, the radio is now competing with the Internet.

That's not true. I did not have sexual intercourse with Lindsay Lohan. ... A lot of people probably did, I don't know, [but I did not].

I love music videos, I really do. I think it's kind of sad that it's a dying art form.

I can single handedly dispel any ideas that sexuality is acquired. Trust me, you're born with it. My brother is gay, and we knew when he was two.

Not every song has to be about love and tenderness, sometimes you have those strictly physical feelings for somebody and it's okay to have those feelings.

I do believe that I deserve what I have. I don't think I'm entitled to it. That's a big difference.

And I think I have a distinct voice.
