Honestly, the only thing I loved when I was a kid was basketball. I was an athlete when I was a kid, and that was it.
We want to help kids affected by the tragedy as much as we can.
My earliest memories as a kid was I would always try to make my mom and my stepdad laugh at dinner. Or make my friends laugh in class. And, I don't know, it's something I just really enjoy doing.
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.
Even as a kid I would find the one person whose attention I didn't have and I would zone in on that person. It became a challenge.
I'm a very melody-driven writer and I have a rule that I don't write anything down because if I can't remember the melody than it wasn't worth remembering. So it's my way to test myself in the studio. When I was a kid I could sing pretty well so melody always made a lot of sense to me.
If you put out 150 percent, then you can always expect 100 percent back. That's what I was always told as a kid, and It's worked for me so far!
I like big butts and I cannot lie you other brothers can't deny when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist and a round thing in your face you get sprung.
I wanted to wait for the right opportunity. There's no shortcuts, and I responded to the challenge of working with someone like Morgan (Freeman).
It's been fun. I've only done half the movie and it's crazy. They're always writing. They're writing and writing and writing. You work for four hours in two days and it's done. It's pretty much nothing. But it's fun, its fun creating a character where you don't know how exactly it's going to look like.
What is it with people calling me 'the baby of the group'? big deal!
We just kind of picked the two people who are most influential in our lives, and that's our grandfathers.
We're dirty pop. It's a trend now, but we were the first ones to do it!
There's still a chance that 'N Sync could get back together.
