shave mine"

It was hot out, so they were spraying the audience with water, and some of it got on the stage. When I tried to do this dance move where we slide on one foot, I slipped and smacked my right thumb.

It was like there was nothing else in the universe but us."

It took me six months to get over it."

- On fame changing 'N Sync: "No. We started as 'N Sync, and we'll always be 'N Sync. I don't think our personalities will change. We always try, in every way we can, to stay close to our fans as possible. But sometimes our schedule gets really busy. I'll give you a 'for instance.' We'll be at an autograph signing and, you know, we stayed an hour late, and we missed our sound check. But we have to leave and make it to the venue for the show. That disappoints us sometimes. But our fans are here for us and we appreciate them. That's why we do this."

- "We love hearing from our fans. To know you've touched them enough that they listen to your songs so often that they know them by heart, that's special."
- On performing: "There's more to [it] than just a fluorescent outfit thing. This is, like, on another level from the last tour we did."

- On how he is successful: "Give one hundred fifty percent, and you can't be upset with what happens; you know you've put your heart into it."
