It's hard to be a breakout show and stay on top. We're like the flagship show over here.
I do California casual a little bit better than really small European cut, tight apparel But I can rock some Gucci when I need to. I say this as I'm wearing Adidas sweatpants and a ten-year-old Chrome Hearts T-shirt.
I love 'Last Call.' It took me a little bit to figure out that I wasn't going to be that guy in a suit telling monologue jokes.
I'm developing a record company. I'm learning how to supervise music on a film.
A friend of mine - a cameraman at MTV - lost a lot of weight from cycling, and I thought Id try it, too, thinking whenever you look at a cyclist they all look super-skinny, so hey, why not? But then it turned into such a psychologically satisfying thing.
Carson is an old family name, though my grandma used to watch Johnny all the time and was crazy about him.
Do you remember when we were kids and played that game 'Telephone'? It was like that. The first time I heard about it, someone said he'd been shot 17 times.
You know, I'm cursed with morals. I was raised a certain way. I wish I wasn't. I wish I was raised by wolves.
It's important for people to realize I don't want to be the It guy. I want to crawl before I walk. I want to learn about things before I jump into them.
I think long-lasting, healthy relationships are more important than the idea of marriage. At the root of every successful marriage is a strong partnership.
The No. 1 question I get from everybody is, 'How did you make it?' I'm like, Don't worry about making it. There is no making it. Just be happy.
On New Year's Eve, Times Square is the epicenter of the world - it's the place to be and the place to watch at midnight. That is why it was so important to do this entire special live. Unlike other specials, there will be no prerecorded performances. Audiences will see things as they happen.
You're in the Backstreet Boys. This inevitably will be a great thing for your career, ... I've been busted in strip clubs. We're men. That's what we do.
I try and mention it as much as possible when I'm on the air.
