I got along better with the guys than with the girls. Only two girls came up to talk to me. Later I found out they were telling their boyfriends, 'If you talk to her, I'll kill you.' It's always rough with that high school thing.

Britney's a really cool girl, We were really close back when we were on the Mickey Mouse Club, and even watching her in interviews I find myself missing her lately. I'm really proud of her, how far she's come and what she's been able to accomplish. And to keep it together: It's so crazy out on the road. I gotta give her credit for not just going berserk and letting everybody get to her. I just passed on my number to her through somebody. It's good to have friends in the business who know what you're going through.

I am very honest, even in interviews.

When you're seventeen years old, green and inexperienced, you're grateful for any guidance and direction you can get.

My future daughter is not going to go through what I did.

When you're part of a pop phenomenon, you have so many opinions shoved down your throat.

There’s nothing more dangerous than a boy with charm.
