Justin Timberlake: 'Trying new things motivates and inspires me'

Superstar Justin Timberlake has opened up about his love of learning and confessed that he has an insatiable passion for acquiring new skills and facing challenges. 

Speaking to Oprah recently, the 'Suit & Tie' heartthrob explained that trying new things keeps him inspired and motivated, which is so important to him:

"If I'm not learning from something that I'm doing, then that means I've done it before. Do something different, even if it's within the same medium. To try new things, that makes more sense to me than making a career out of doing the exact same thing over and over and over and over again."

Timberlake went onto add that challenging himself is something he loves to do, whether it's with an acting role or planning a stage show for a new live tour:

"I like the moment where I can look at everyone and say, 'I have no idea how to do this. Let's figure it out.' You do that with a stage performance as much as you do a character on film. That inspires me. That motivates me."
