First of all, I'm not a heartthrob. If you saw me in high school, you wouldn't say I'm a heartthrob. Having a hit song, the minute you're famous, you're a heartthrob. I know you don't believe me, but I honestly don't consider myself a heartthrob.

There are days that I wake up and I complain, and when I complain I pinch myself and say, 'that's for complaining.' Not many people can do what they really like in life.

Really, the F word in a song - it should be the least of the worries of parents these days.

You should do whatever language you feel is the perfect language for you to sing in and then try to strive to do the best.

I care about politics just like any other citizen. I'm against the war in Iraq, or any type of war.

I don't like being lied to, so I only lie about the stupid things. White lies, basically.

I'm so proud of who I am and where I come from and who my father is.
