This isn't about the money. This is just for me. I love music.

I have 20,000 girlfriends, all around the world.

My teenage years were exactly what they were supposed to be. Everybody has their own path. It's laid out for you. It's just up to you to walk it.

I'm not trying to sound pretentious, but we did sell 12 million records on the first album, so we did get paid a little bit.

Senorita was fun to sing, but I don't really have a favorite. When you write a bunch of songs, they're like your babies. You don't pick favorites.

I like simple things. I like to sneak in the theatre and watch movies. I'm a movie buff.

The worst thing about being famous is the invasion of your privacy.

When I'm in the studio, there are no boundaries.

I like to play golf. I like to shoot hoops.

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

The way I grew up, I was always taught that it's uncouth to talk about money, and that's not what should inspire you.

Gossip is called gossip because it's not always the truth.

I believe people can move things with their minds.

Teen pop will never die as long as there are teens and popular music. It just takes a different head.

As far as the press is concerned, they're going to say what they want to say. Probably about 10-15 percent of the time It's accurate.

There's nothing wrong with shooting for the stars.

My career decisions have nothing to do with my personal life.

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

The many sounds of Memphis shaped my early musical career and continue to be an inspiration to this day.

You can say things a million times, but if you can't sing it, then it really isn't much of a song.

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

I would never do anything just for spite.

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

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

I really didn't try to make an effort to make urban music, but I am a product of my inspirations.

As time goes by people will see who I am for who I am.

I get way more nervous playing golf in front of 500 people than being on stage in front of 20,000 people.

If you asked me what pop is right now. I'd say hip hop.

I needed freedom to really express myself. That's really what Justified is about.

I'm very thankful to be doing what I'm doing. I feel very blessed.

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'm completely removed from any hype that comes my way.

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

My favorite moments in the show are when I stand by myself and sing.

Every time you do a project, you learn something new.

The best part about being alone is that you really don't have to answer to anybody. You do what you want.

The best part about being with a group is that you don't have to do everything alone. You're with your friends.

I have really great, great parents, and they were very supportive of me.

I used to think I actually was Batman.

My biggest challenge was to make sure that the songs I did were who I am.

Every relationship I've been in, I've overwhelmed the girl. They just can't handle all the love.

The most boring thing in the world? Silence.

If I did any movies I'd have to take a break from singing, because I'd want it to be really good.

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!

The only thing I wasn't prepared for was being everywhere all at the same time.

You have a lot of time on these tours. As Alice Cooper said, you can either drink all day or golf.

If there were something that I was going to endorse, it would probably be something like sneakers.

This isn't about the money. This is just for me. I love music.

I'm not in this for the money because if I was, I would have jumped out after our first album.
