In films, I didn't crave the type of attention I had sort of stumbled into in my music career. And I do not audition well. I'm really not good at it. Early on, I did movies like 'Alpha Dog' and 'Black Snake Moan' because the directors didn't ask me to audition.
I'm such a Type A personality - when it comes to a road trip, I plan my food so far in advance. I roll hard with a cooler. I don't mess around. I want to avoid ending up eating fast food. I try to stay away from that.
The thing is that my idols have always been the types of guys who could do anything: Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Sinatra, Dean Martin; and when you look up to people like that, you don't accept that you need to be compartmentalised.
I've played in sold out stadiums before half a million people, but this makes me nervous.
There's still a chance that 'N Sync could get back together.
We're dirty pop. It's a trend now, but we were the first ones to do it!
Justin has signed up for the play for various reasons. He's good mates with Kevin and has been looking for a chance to have a go at a meaty theatre role. It fits in with his bigger plans.
When I release my new album this year...Urge and I will be doing some new and creative things. Urge offers a new way for artists like myself to specifically reach music fans with a ton of options.
She had a passion for what she did, ... She loved to work and she loved to make music.
I'm not in this for the money because if I was, I would have jumped out after our first album.
That's something I learned from both my stepdad and my grandfather - that there is a thing called chivalry, and it doesn't have to die with the birth of the Internet. The way I see it, if you're asking a girl out on a date, it's only right to do it in a way that she can hear your voice.
When I was a kid, I would impersonate anything that I would hear. It's - actually, I attribute that more to why I actually was able to become a musician and a singer.
My biggest challenge was to make sure that the songs I did were who I am.
I think I have to laugh about the fact that I grew up in public. All these weird stages in my teenage years are documented. Why did no one tell me how terrible some of those outfits were?
