It was also great to have the Backstreet Boys appear on stage with me because I have gotten to know them all a little bit just recently, and not only are they great performers, but they also very hard working professionals and really nice guys.

I was never told a thing about sex. So I was very naive, as were my friends as well. But I - me so especially.

Oh teacher, I need you like a little child, you got something in you to drive a school boy wild.

Once I'd heard 'Modern Times' by Bob Dylan, it really changed the way I wanted to make records.

How dare you refer to my beautiful children as 'synthetic'. And shame on you for wagging your judgemental little fingers at IVF - a miracle that has allowed legions of loving people, both straight and gay, to fulfill their dream of having children, your archaic thinking is out of step with the times, just like your fashions. I shall never wear Dolce and Gabbana ever again.

It's much too late to save myself from falling.

I had no balance in my life. I was this one person onstage and this person offstage, who really didn't know much about living.
