Cry me a river, build a bridge, and get over it.
Britney and I wore matching denim outfits [to the 2001 American Music Awards]. Yeah, another bad choice. I’d probably pay good money to get some of those pictures off the internet.
I think the first half of my 20s I felt I had to achieve, achieve, achieve. A lot of men do this. I'm looking around now and I'm like, Where am I running?
A gentleman can never have too many bow ties.
I like woman who doesn't necessarily care if other people like her. She is she who she is and figures people can take it or leave it. What I do like is a woman who has the guts to tell exactly as she feels. It's not appealing when a woman dresses to please a man. It's way more attractive if she has her own distinct style and wears what she feels best in.
I think it's the first idea I ever got about doing something on my own, because it was the first time I'd ever really felt the confidence to do it.
I grew up in Tennessee, and if you didn't play football, you were a sissy. I got slurs all the time because I was in music and art...I was an outcast in a lot of ways...but everything that you get picked on for or you feel makes you weird is essentially what's going to make you sexy as an adult.
I have OCD mixed with ADD, you try living with that. Its complicated,
I like simple things. I like to sneak in the theatre and watch movies. I'm a movie buff.
The many sounds of Memphis shaped my early musical career and continue to be an inspiration to this day.
If entertainment years were dog years, man, Id be like Gandhi. Id be like 250 years old.
I needed freedom to really express myself. That's really what Justified is about.
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.
You mean, like a book?
