I listen to a lot of different kinds of music.

Music is my love and to me acting is more mercenary. I don't pound the pavements for roles: if it happens, it happens. I hate that auditioning thing.

Until I was six years old we lived in the projects, then my two brothers and three sisters and I moved to a three-bed that my mother's father built.

As I recall, my life as a child was so all-consuming that I barely had time to consider the future.

I don't really like to sit around the house listening to my own records. They're not that good.

Playing music is the best thing in the world. It makes show business almost bearable.

I'm doing exactly what I want to do, and I'm having fun doing it.
