The nicest thing he has ever bought his mom:

Prank calls from fans, ever?

"Sure. It's not really stage fright. Every show I get nervous a minute before the show. It's more like adrenaline."
Does he have a routine before a show?

"I'll be riding a bull through New York City in the Macy's Day Parade! I have the strangest dreams and I think they kind of mean something..."
Does Justin go to the gym?
"I do stuff in my room. I do push-ups. In the gym, I prefer to work with free weights and stuff. At the hotels, I'll go down there and it'll be like a treadmill and a bicycle. That's it. I dance so I don't have to run on a treadmill."
Does Justin have a 5 year plan??

His experience with Janet Jackson:
"She was very laid back, very cool. We were treated very well. They treated us very nicely. Her whole crew was very, very nice. We got pictures, hugs, everything! It was very cool!"
Advice for fans:
"If you want to succeed at something, even if it's not show business, you have to practice your craft. Practice makes perfect."
Most Embarassing Moment:
"I ran onstage after a quick change with my fly unzipped. My pants almost fell down all the way to my ankles. They fell down on my thighs almost to my knees, and I grabbed them. Luckily I had a baggy basketball shirt on over them, so you couldn't see that they fell down. I also broke my thumb onstage before. It was an open-air festival in Germany; it was outside and it was really hot and they were spraying the kids with water, with this big hose, and they got some water on the stage. There's a move where we slide across the floor in one of our songs, and I slid on the water and feet came out from under me. My first reaction ws to throw my hands down- try to catch myself- and my thumb broke. Luckily it was the last song of our set. I just held the mike in my left hand the whole time."
Justin describing his hair:
"The roots are naturally dark. I had the top done. This bottom part is my natural color. It's not drastic. I'll probably stick with this for a while. I'm thinking of cutting it just a little bit shorter because it's starting to get a little bit poofy up here. I, mean, honestly, I grew my hair out once and I'd wake up every morning and look just like Maxwell. Boom! Whoa! My hair was scaring me. But it's naturally curly."
When Justin's On-Stage:
"I love that feeling when you're up there singing and the crowd is getting into what you are doing. I love to see the smiles on their faces and know that I had something to do with that."
His first kiss:
"It took place in fifth or sixth grade. It was with my third or fourth girlfriend and it was quite an embarrassing situation. She was friends with my best friend's girlfriend and she lived right across the street from him. My best friend and I went over to her house to watch television. I knew this moment was going to have to come soon and I wanted it to be this night. Then all of a sudden, she turns the TV off, hits the light switch off, it's pitch black, and we're both like what do we do. We didn't know what to say. So I looked at her, I was embarrassed, and thought we might as well do it and we did and it was great. I was a happy little guy."
What puts Justin to sleep:
"Either the guys of 'Nsync sing to me or I sing to myself quietly!"
What puts a smile on his face:
"When I am looking at the audience and they're singing the words I know. I can just stop singing and put the mic in their face and they would sing the words back to me. Now, my face.. that put's a smile on."
Most precious thing he has recieved from a fan:
" At the end of one of our concerts a fan gave me a pinky ring and I loved it."
