For one year I did go to Performing Arts School, and I had very weird friends.

I would love to do some kind of mystery movie, or an action flick, something with that combination

I'm an entertainer, period. But I'd probably have to say my passion is in singing. I'm willing to go broke singing.

I find I don't need to be polished. I feel that you have to keep it real, and that's the best way to go.

It wasn't until I was about 17 or 18 years old that I got into music

I have to have a little bit of time to myself right before whatever it is that I have to do because most of the time I'm sitting in my head convincing myself to calm down, all right, show down.

I signed to Def Jam and within two months, I heard that Ja Rule was looking for someone to do a song with.
