people responding"

we're not like, you know, 'You have to be here and you have to be in the
audience, and we have to be on the stage and that's the job that the both of us
have to do.."
"It's not exactly Beatlemania, but it's pretty cool!" (on their success)

what? You need to rest just in case."
"Our fans want to have a good time, and when they go to a show, we want to
entertain the heck out of them."
"The beauty of music is that everyone hears it their own way and every song you
hear leaves an impression on you that alters the way you hear everything from
that point on." That is too true! Because all it takes is a certain song
to make your whole day go better.
"I think love is the quest that every man in the entire world is in search of.
That's why love is the idea behind 90% of the songs ever written. It's what
every person has in common." Ahh, how adorably sweet!
"I am romantic to a certain extent, but I'm not like over the top. I mean, I'm
not quite a flowers-and-candy guy. I can do that but I always feel a little
funny about it."
"Everytime I see myself naked, I get so freaked out that I do a little dance"
Honey, If I ever saw you naked I'd do a little dance too!
"Without every one of you and the relationships we have or have made I don't
know if I would be sane, becasue at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what
you do, but who you are and who you share that with. They say good things happen
to good people, and everyone I have named has affected me in a good way, and I
wish the same for all of you. God Bless and I will hopefully see you later in
the journey." [Celebrity, thank yous]
"I hear from fans a lot that they think I'm really cute, but if you really take
a good look, I am not so hot-looking. I have zits and bad hair days and I look
really tired a lot of the time... but there's a good reason for that. We're
always on tour or in the studio. I don't really pay a lot of time to making
myself look a certain way, except to shave, shower, and put on clean clothes.
I've been offered modeling jobs but that's just not creative enough for me. When
I have done modeling at charity shows, it was fun because I got to meet celebs
and wear some really cool stuff... but if you have to do it all the time, it's
gonna get old pretty fast. I love clothes, but I'd rather be working out or
doing spiritual improvement than shop for clothes. We have people who pick stuff
out from different designers for us, plus we have our costume clothes, so I
don't really have to think about my wardrobe. I hear they are doing some
outrageous stuff for us to wear on the cover of the new CD. I would say I'm just
average-looking, but I have good stylists behind me making me look better than I
would normally look. We have makeup people that have secret tricks for covering
up "noon shadow" with pancake makeup and shiny noses by rubbing hair pomade into
our noses (I kid you not). They have so many tricks, they could make a bulldog
look like a million bucks. In today's society, a lot of emphasis is put on looks
and I think people need to be more accepting of those who look different than
them. We judge a book by its cover too much, and so often we are wrong. I am
hopeful that someday people will be nice to each other no matter what shape
they're in, or the color of their skin, or how tall they are. That might take a
few years, but a person is really about what's on the inside, plus we have too
many stereotypes. Do I appreciate the compliments that are paid to me? I do, and
they make me feel good about myself, but I will always try to keep myself
attractive on the inside by reading a lot of spiritual books, meditating, and
being nice to folks I encounter. I think everyone should take time out of their
busy day to try to clear their minds and just relax... even though it's just for
10 minutes. When people are happy, they get along better. To quote that old song
by Ray Stevens, I honestly believe that everyone is beautiful in their own way
and everyone needs to work on him or herself. You feel happiest when your mind,
body, and spirit all work together. People sometimes laugh at all those
Hollywood stars who are into religions we may not have heard of, but if it helps
them pull themselves together, more power to them." I know it's
long, but I still can not get over this quote!
"Everyone seems to hate my girlfriend..." Well, 1) there might be a reason
for that and 2) she's not your girlfriend anymore.

the world. I want to take long walks with you on the beach during the sunset. I

other guys and I don't wanna date any other squirrels...oop, I mean girls.

If I'm with my parents at dinner, and they're having wine, I might have some.
But we don't drink stupidly.
I'm pathetic. I'm not good at being romantic. I'm afraid to do things that are
too cliche because it's unoriginal, so I don't do a lot of flowers and candy. I
mean, the best thing I can do is give somebody a nice compliment.
"Honestly, and I know this sounds weird, but I wouldn't change anything because
all my faults make me who I am. I think they're just a part of my character and
I wouldn't be myself without them. But I mean that's part of what makes you YOU!
You don't wanna change that because that's your individuality."
"I'm not a talented person! I'm faking it!

"Justin and me have both chipped our teeth on microphones. Joey and Chris and
Lance have messed up their ankles quite a bit. Chris hurt his knee and Justin

the pain." (JC on getting hurt on stage)

time or another.

"I guess (I am) to a certain extant, but I'm not like over the top, I mean, I'm

the inside that matters." Amen to that!!
"I'm not Justin Timberlake, so I can go anywhere I want," jokes JC, as Justin
walks past our cove shoot. "I think success damages a lot of people and they
become reclusive, but we're still out there every day. I usually go to my
mom-and-pop shops for breakfast when I'm home." Babe- for one, I'm GLAD
you're not Justin Timberlake.
