I want to keep everyone happy but at the same time I also have to be confident with what I'm putting out and be secure with it.

Music is my way of getting away from everything. It means a lot to me.

My biggest hero when I was a kid was Will Smith. I used to watch 'Fresh Prince,' and I was a huge fan of his albums. I bought all of his albums when I was a kid. Now, he is the biggest movie star in the world.

I'm in the gym pretty much every day. I've been very strict about my diet during shooting. It all helps me bring as much authenticity to the role as I can.

With any character, the main objective is to bring authenticity to the role.

My mother was not the cook in the family. My dad was. I'd watch him behind the grill, and I said, 'If I ever make it and have enough money, I'm going to make sure I dine in the best restaurants.'

Kids are pretty brutal.
