When you're doing a big-budget movie and you're four on the call sheet, you've got a lot of free time.

If you live with a single parent, you don't see compromise. You witness a grown person living in a world where they do what they want to do. When you are raised by two parents, you are constantly watching compromise take place. Just by observing that, it made me a better person.

I'm in show business... I want to hang out with Janet Jackson, not Jesse Jackson.
