What makes most people comfortable is some sort of sense of nostalgia. I grew up in a small town, and I could count my friends on one hand, and I still live that way. I think I'll die in a small town. When I can't move my bones around a stage any more, you'll find me living in a place that's spread out and rural and spacious.

I pick my nose and I'm not ashamed to admit it. If there's a bogey then just pick it, man.

The right scent can make you feel a little more stylish, but it should never eclipse who you are. It should complement who you are.

Golf is me and buddies out having a good time, but most of all, golf is about me and my dad. Anytime I think of golf, I think about my dad. He taught me how to hit a golf ball, and he got me playing.

I will always come with something that's aesthetically pleasing.

There's nothing wrong with shooting for the stars.

Every time you do a project, you learn something new.

I don't see myself as someone who's ever going to be defined by one moment. It's on to the next.

I have 20,000 girlfriends, all around the world.

The golf swing is very, very rhythmic. There's a certain tempo to it, just like in music.

The many sounds of Memphis shaped my early musical career and continue to be an inspiration to this day.

I'm a perfectionist. I can't help it, I get really upset with myself if I fail in the least.

I used to think I actually was Batman.

I think my style is kind of a cross between a skater hippie and an R&B star. If there were something I was going to endorse, it would probably be something like sneakers. Something that would be me.

Gossip is called gossip because it's not always the truth.

When I was a kid, I played basketball religiously. I begged my mom to get me voice lessons because I wanted to learn to sing the right way, but at the same time, I was playing Junior Olympic basketball, and I was playing point guard for my school. But I was wanting to get into entertainment, into music and film and television.

If there were something that I was going to endorse, it would probably be something like sneakers.

The only thing I wasn't prepared for was being everywhere all at the same time.

The hardest part about making movies is staying the exact same weight every day and looking the same.

When I'm not on stage, I'm kind of shy. If you see me and I don't say much, don't think I'm not taking in what you have to say. I'm just not a big talker.

I have OCD mixed with ADD; you try living with that.

The most boring thing in the world? Silence.

I'm a mutt as far as music is concerned because I listen to everything.

'Friends With Benefits': it feels like a two-hander to me, but it is a big movie, and this is the first straightforward male I've been able to play. I would describe my character in 'The Social Network' as a kind of sociopath. I would describe my character in 'Bad Teacher' as... just a weirdo. But this is a male's male.

I believe people can move things with their minds.

My career decisions have nothing to do with my personal life.

I was an only child and was obviously really bored, so I would entertain my parents by imitating cartoon voices like Scooby Doo, Boo Boo and others.

I like simple things. I like to sneak in the theatre and watch movies. I'm a movie buff.

I needed freedom to really express myself. That's really what Justified is about.

Every relationship I've been in, I've overwhelmed the girl. They just can't handle all the love.

I had a Jackson 5 wig that I would wear around, and I would do, like, the dances from the Jackson 5, and, you know, my mother thought that was hysterical. So of course, that seed got planted very early, the physicality of comedy.

With the exception of octopus, I don't think I've met any food that I didn't like. And by the way, sometimes I do like octopus. I'm just not crazy about it by itself. I love sea urchin. I love uni. If I'm going to die of anything, it's going to be gluttony.

Talent doesn't always equal success.

I'm such a Type A personality - when it comes to a road trip, I plan my food so far in advance. I roll hard with a cooler. I don't mess around. I want to avoid ending up eating fast food. I try to stay away from that.

That's something I learned from both my stepdad and my grandfather - that there is a thing called chivalry, and it doesn't have to die with the birth of the Internet. The way I see it, if you're asking a girl out on a date, it's only right to do it in a way that she can hear your voice.

My biggest challenge was to make sure that the songs I did were who I am.

I'm completely removed from any hype that comes my way.

The thing is that my idols have always been the types of guys who could do anything: Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Sinatra, Dean Martin; and when you look up to people like that, you don't accept that you need to be compartmentalised.

I guess, for me, I've always thought that there was humor everywhere. And as a kid, I just, you know, I grew up an only child, and I - sort of nothing made me happier than to make my parents laugh. I remember I had costumes and things laying around the house that I was, you know, anything that I could do to make my parents laugh.

You spend so much time developing a character when you do a film; so much of your work is done before you get set to shoot because you've been working on the character: the way he walks, the way he talks, what might upset him, what might make him happy.

I mostly work out so I can eat religiously. I'm such a foodie. The only way I can make myself feel better about what I eat is to work out.

Sometimes I don't even know what to name a song when I get done with it, and I'll let somebody else tell me what I should call it because it's whatever stuck in their head.

I have really great, great parents, and they were very supportive of me.

The best part about being with a group is that you don't have to do everything alone. You're with your friends.

As far as the press is concerned, they're going to say what they want to say. Probably about 10-15 percent of the time It's accurate.

I didn't put out this album because I wanted everybody to know I was grown up. I'm 21 and that's not grown up.

I feel very fortunate to be compared to somebody so incredible. Michael Jackson's an icon.

I get way more nervous playing golf in front of 500 people than being on stage in front of 20,000 people.

I know what it takes to put on a good show for the fans.

I like to play golf. I like to shoot hoops.
