It would be a shame to go out with a hot girl you can't have a decent conversation with!

I grew up in a really rural town, Stratford, Ontario, with 30,000 people. There's a big festival thrown in the town. A lot of people travel from all over the world to see it, and growing up, I actually used to busk on the street. I'd play my guitar, sing, and people would throw money in the case.

I want to be a young dad. By 25 or 26 I want to see myself, like, married or start looking for a family.

He [Timbaland] meshes well with a lot of great people, like he meshes well with Timberlake, Missy Elliott, Nelly Furtado. I'm hoping I'm another one that he meshes well with, because it could be really genius.

Two people can look at the same thing and see it differently.

It's cool when fans spend so much time making things for me. It means a lot.

My manager is definitely a mentor as well as Usher.
