I definitely want to act, but I also want to score movies, and I have this idea to fuse classical music with other styles that would give it a different perception.

Soul music is timeless.

I feel the presence of a higher power. I believe that what you give is what you get. It's universal law. I believe in the power of prayer and of words. I've learned that when you predict that negative things will happen, they do.

I think there was something about being in a tough environment that gave me a certain drive.

The last thing I want is to walk into my house after a long day and see all the Grammys and awards. It would make me feel weird.

It's when we become afraid of everything and worried about everything that you are never going to reach your highest potential.

A lot of times I watch TV and I watch film and there's so many things I'd love to talk about that I feel don't get the opportunity to be shown. Sometimes things become very stereotypical and one-sided, and I feel like it's such a colorful world.
