Because I came out as a singer, I took the time to get an acting coach.

Whatever will be, will be.

It was always part of the plan to move into acting.

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 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.

Keep working hard and you can get anything that you want.

Well, I think that the image is a part of me. I wear the baggy pants, the hats, the whole nine. And you know, I may add a little for the excitement and the intrigue in the videos, but my family has told me that little air of mystery that surrounds me is for real.
