Animals keep you company when you're really lonely. It helps because when you have a friend around who always likes you no matter what - it's harder to feel bad or down.

Music is something that always lifts my spirits and makes me happy, and when I make music I always hope it will have the same effect on whoever listens to it.

I have my own studio down in Miami.

There's not a day that I don't work on vocals, have vocal coaches, go to acting classes, read books.

I'm always studying my craft because I want to be the best at what I do.

When it comes to relationships, I think I'm pretty experienced - you'd be surprised.

I want to be a real artist to consumers. I want to be the real thing for them.
