What do I think of L.A.? It's boring with some amazing nuggets. Like there are some parts of it that are great but by and large I think it's quite boring.

Janet Jackson is an icon I've been honored to meet her a few times working with her would be amazing.

Maggie Smith is an amazing woman and not as serious in real life.

The Beethoven Experience provided the opportunity to solidify the relationship between the Orchestra and me the Orchestra and me and the public between all of us and the city of New York because Beethoven after all is a really amazing point of reference.

Having my first number one single and being able to travel to places I've never been before has been amazing. The tour was also fantastic. There are so many things which I've experienced this year which I never even dreamed of.

The past 6 and a half years have been the most amazing years of my life. It's sad it has come to an end but Avril and I are still family and moving forward in the most positive way possible.

It's so amazing standing on the corner -this happened in Washington D.C. - and somebody comes by in a Cadillac and you hear 'Manic Monday' on the radio and you don't even know this person and they're listening to it and singing along with it. Wow! Blows your mind.

I enjoy looking at words on paper and visualizing how to make them come to life. As a director the creative process is really amazing.

I have the most amazing support network around me.

I listen to every thing all kinds of stuff. I've been obsessed with the Nas and Damian Marley record 'Distant Relatives.' I feel like a lot of people haven't heard it and it's amazing.
