The most boring thing in the world? Silence.

I'm a perfectionist. I can't help it, I get really upset with myself if I fail in the least.

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.

I believe mustard to be one of the most amazing condiments.

I feel very fortunate to be compared to somebody so incredible. Michael Jackson's an icon.

I was very shy as a kid but when I found out I could perform and have people's attention everything changed for me. My mom likes to joke that until I was eight or nine I only knew what my sneakers looked like because I constantly walked around with my head down. But all of a sudden the stage made sense and that's what brought me out of my shell and a monster was created.

Just writing and being in the studio was like therapy for me.
