Trying to strike a balance

Justin Timberlake hopes that someday he can strike the right balance between his music and acting career as he fails to juggle between the two.

He blames his inability to multi-task for keeping his music and film projects completely separate, reports contactmusic.com.

Though his last album came out in 2006, he assures he hasn’t left music. He said, "I hope I’m not done (with music). For some reason I keep getting asked that question a lot, like I’ve said, ‘I’m never doing music again’. And I hope not. I’m a male and I lack the ability to do two things at the same time. And I can tell you that the day that I comprehended that, my life became a lot easier!" said Timberlake.

“I just feel like when you're doing a film like I’m doing now, you immerse yourself, you embody that character and... it’s such a transformation mentally that trying to write music at the same time... it would suck!” he added.

Of late, the SexyBack has garnered critical acclaim for his portrayal of internet entrepreneur Sean Parker in The Social Network. He also voiced the character of Boo Boo in family film Yogi Bear and is currently working on a sci-fi film Now.
