I learned something from that. If someone asks me something that I really don't want to do, I say no. I have to trust that. And I'm not afraid to talk money.

I have never gotten into the label thing.

I have a lust for life.

I don't care about vacations. I go away and I come back real quick because I like my work. I really like my work to consume me.

I was brought up in this part of Detroit that they used to call the ghetto.

My problem is that people have been writing books about me.A lot of things that people write about you are incorrect, but you don't fight about it.

I don't have to sit around and wait for the next movie to come along, I can go out and sing.
