In the last 5 years I've been working with the LAPD, training police officers in first aid and CPR.
I have to be motivated, and I'm sure time will avail itself.
I'm such a lover of music that it would be very hard for me to pinpoint it to a particular artist.
If you've got talent, stick with it... because talent wins out, without a doubt.
As far as advice to potential teenage idols, there is no formula.
Again, talent is the real import of being in the business.
