Quotes
Sometimes the only way to win is to die trying.
One thing he misses about New Jersey: One thing they don't have out here in California is Rita's Italian Ices. We used to have one right next to our house and it was so good!
'I Love You' isn't something to say too quickly. It's not just a word, though a lot of guys will just throw it out there. Being in love is when things are going so well that happiness is beyond belief. You're 200 percent happy and excited.
I had a New Year's kiss once. But it was like, "Let's start the year off together," and then we wound up breaking up the night after!
The first CD that I ever bought was Britney Spears. It was at a 7-Eleven and I was like, 'Can I get this?' It was literally her EP and I picked it up and, of course, I fell in love with her. It was an early crush for me.
[on Britney Spears] I haven't had words with her recently, but I'm looking forward to this tour [Spears' 2011 Femme Fatale Tour]. When I did meet her, she was a really sweet, really kind person. It's kind of surreal to meet somebody like her. When you meet her you're like, 'Wow that's amazing, she's great.'
What turns me on? Chocolate.
