I thought [first girlfriend] was trying to make a fool out of me. Then I found out that she wasn't, and we went out. That's a very good example of how little confidence I had.

This is a very fickle business. It's really about how much you value the other things in your life. I still value too many other things more than I do fame.

It's the ones who resist that we most want to kiss, wouldn't you say?

I think I've gotten everything I want out of the last years, and I still feel like I have a lot of options open to me.

I really have no plans for any kind of career in TV or anything, but if I wanted to become good at it, I could. But I don't really think it's in the cards.

I think the media is a real demon.

It does bother me when they [tabloids] drag friends of mine into it and talk about them and lie about them. My friends have no part in it; they're not celebrities, so why should they have to accept the downside of celebrity? That worries me for a bit.
