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 didn't put out this album because I wanted everybody to know I was grown up. I'm 21 and that's not grown up.

I think people sometimes don't pay enough attention to what they do. I've done well, but the reason is pretty simple: I've worked my ass off. The toughest thing a performer can do is make it look as if it comes easy.

The Grammys used me for ratings. And they were up 18 percent!

I sang in church growing up. Memphis is the blues capital of the world, we like to say.

I will always come with something that's aesthetically pleasing.

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