Music is the reason I'm doing movies; I do credit that. But acting is an escape route for me.

I love my fans very much. They give me the confidence to continue things in life.

My mother doesn't really embarrass me. Even when I was young. She understands my career.

Dealing with the fame and going from nothing and becoming something where everyone wants a piece of you, your life changes in a day.

I don't prepare for my roles. I don't watch movies to get inspired. I don't dig deep. I'll never be that type of actor, and I doubt that I ever will be.

Everything I do, I do it because it's me. At the end of the day, I only know how to be me. Everything is gonna be authentic, so I think, when it comes down to sayin' certain stuff in lyrics, or whatever the case may be, it's just me bein' me and me bein' honest.

Trying your best not to get stressed out, the hardest part is not to get down, not to let the business get to you. I think the business is more mental than it is talent. I think you can have the talent, but if you don't have it up here, I think you can easily just break down.
