When people talk about someone you have preconceived judgments.
When I started on MySpace, people wanted to support me, but once I rose to fame with the MTV show, they felt like I had abandoned them for some reason, that I was too famous to talk to them anymore.
I joined MySpace in September 2003. At that time no one was on there at all. I felt like a loser while all the cool kids were at some other school. So I mass e-mailed between 30,000 and 50,000 people and told them to come over. Everybody joined overnight.
My fans and people who know of my character want to see me become more successful.
I've learned that no matter what I do, people are going to have their opinions.
I'm shooting a commercial for safe sex. How ironic. Because I don't have that.
I do whatever my heart tells me to do.
As long as I'm not hurting anybody, I don't think that anything I do is wrong.
I mean, the media and bloggers may say otherwise, but in reality I have a lot of fans because I'm the only celebrity that actually takes time out to call them and talk to them. I don't think a lot of celebrities do that.
This is so cliche, but my beauty icon would have to be Angelina Jolie. She looks like she wears natural makeup, but she's still beautiful.
When somebody says something bad about you, they feel bad about themselves in some way.
You don't want to be in a relationship with someone who's scared of you.
I knew out of high school I didn't want to go to college. I knew what whatever I did wouldn't have anything to do with college.
I've found my calling with Twitter. It's all about the amount of interaction you do, and the traffic you move, and I'm really good at that. I keep going and going and going, and no one can believe that I can keep it up.
