The fans have been great to me. I don't think it's asking too much to have me sign something for them.

Britney and I wore matching denim outfits [to the 2001 American Music Awards]. Yeah, another bad choice. I'd probably pay good money to get some of those pictures off the internet.

Your critics do not count. Their words will fade. You won't.

I enjoy creating. And if you can do it in a cool way, do it. You can't worry about disappointing people or what their expectations might be.

I'm completely removed from any hype that comes my way.

I think the first half of my 20s I felt I had to achieve, achieve, achieve. A lot of men do this. I'm looking around now and I'm like, Where am I running?

As far as the press is concerned, they're going to say what they want to say. Probably about 10-15 percent of the time It's accurate.
