I have lots of records, quite a collection, actually, that I stole from my mom. I have the original 'Thriller' album and I have a really great 'Elton John's Greatest Hits,' and I also have a N.E.R.D. album. Records sound more original. They have more edge.

I do try and stay away from the stereotype and getting typecast.

Theres nothing more romantic than Italian food.

I'm used to being someone else 10 months out of the year.

As long as I can make an audience feel something, I don't care whether it's a good thing or bad thing, just to feel something is important to me.

The pressure to be pretty? I set, you know, boundaries and goals for myself. I try not to compare myself to anyone else because I will never be anyone else except myself. So I try and stay true to me, and hopefully the right projects will come my way.

It's hard to be scared if you don't feel for a character, because you don't care if they die or live.
