I'm a total performer.

That's why I work every day. Ev-er-y day. I want to knock people out.

If at first you don't succeed/You can dust it off and try again/Dust yourself off and try again.

I go through the same problems all young people go through. Being in this business, I accept that there are positives and negatives but having a strong family base and a belief in God enables me to weather the storms.

I wanted to be different and original but still have it be something my fans could get into. There also are some big, beautiful ballads. I told my producers that I wanted tracks that are going to blow up in the clubs, but I also wanted songs that were very melodic and with a lot of instrumentation.

There is a bit of acting involved when you get in front of a camera for a video. Even when you perform onstage, you're putting on a show.

I don't feel I made any sacrifices at all. I'm doing my best to juggle.
