We both have to make an effort to set some time aside – we do speak at least once a day.

You know what? There are no plans at the moment but I would love to come back to England very soon‚I don't have any definite plans at the moment though.

I try to go home as often as I can to Britney Spears spend time with my family, my mom makes me tidy my room, wash up and do all the normal chores. When I'm on the road I try to surround myself with normal people. My friend/assistant Fe travels everywhere with me and we try to do normal things like shopping, going to the gym etc.

I bite my fingernails – but recently I've been really good and am trying to grow them.

It was amazing, I have always been a fan of hers, since she started, and for her to write a song for me was a dream come true. 'Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know' is one of my favourite songs off the album and I love performing it live.

My musical inspirations come from all sorts of people and experiences. My main musical influences are Madonna, Janet Jackson and Shania Twain, but with regards to video's I just like to have fun and try to think of what an audience wants to see.

I wouldn't change a thing, I have been truly blessed and I feel fortunate to be where I am today. I don't feel like I've missed out on anything. I feel as though I've had more opportunities than most other people my age and I would be mad to say I'd missed out on normal stuff because I still had birthday parties was I was younger and family Christmas's all the normal stuff.

Me and my Mom have always been really close – she is my best friend. We can talk about anything together and she keeps me going when I'm lonely and way from home. I just have to call her and my day brightens.

I try to ignore it because I realise that it's not a personal thing and that whoever Justin had a relationship with would get the same treatment. It's nice that *NSYNC's fans feel so passionately about the group.

No, although I can relate to the song, I didn't record it out fear – people assume that this kind of work is fun all the time but it is amazing how you lonely you can feel even though you are surrounded by people. That is the one downside, which isn't really that bad.

Karen, you sound like you love your boyfriend a lot and really missed him. I do find it hard too but there is nothing we can do. We both have careers which have to be our priority at the moment. We do try to see each other as much as we can.

One of my fans followed me half way round the world so that they could see me. That was really cool.

I get lonely and sad too and I try to speak with my Mom as often as possible‚ which always cheers me up. Shopping is a good one too.

Do you know what? I have lost count‚ I love shoes. I have sneakers, sandals, pumps, boots, party shoes, there are just too many to count.

That's a good question - I love natural colours and fabrics. If I was decorating my bedroom the walls would probably be ivory and I'd have waxed floorboards with a natural fibre rug. I would have soft fabric throws and cushions, maybe even fake fur, on the bed.

I'm working on that now so it should be released in England in September. I can't wait for you guys to hear. I hope you all like it!

She would be able to help other people – whether they're in danger, or hurt, or poor. My super hero character would help everyone.

I have 'Survivor' by Destiny's Child. I love that song.

I like trying different styles and Britney techniques so my music could go in any direction – At the moment I am listening to Jason Downs who mixes Country with Hip Hop, and *NSYNC, who have just finished their album. It is completely different from anything they've done before.

As I mentioned before, I don't feel like I've missed out on anything. Being in the public eye is sometimes stressful and hard to cope with. I feel that I am being constantly criticised by the media who are waiting for me to slip up. I try not to take what people write and say about me personally but sometimes that's difficult.

Yes, I think that could work because if you love someone enough it doesn't matter what they do and how often you see each other as long as when you meet up those times are special. Then anything could work.
