My idol when I was growing up was Michael Jordan the basketball player because of his work ethic rather than his talent and because of what he went through to be as good as he was.

If I'm not learning from something that I'm doing, then that means I've done it before. Do something different, even if it's within the same medium.

When I'm in the studio, there are no boundaries.

In creating music you are the writer, the director, the producer, you create it from scratch. Obviously in playing a role in a film, you take guidance and put your trust into the director. You come into it and you really trust people.

To me acting is a hobby and I'm inspired by it. And if I'm going to spend time doing something that I'm not really inspired to do, then why am I doing it? I don't know if that sounds sort of new agey or whatever, but it's true. I've been lucky enough to have a musical career that has gone pretty good and acting is something I have always wanted to do.

I feel very fortunate to be compared to somebody so incredible. Michael Jackson's an icon.

There's nothing wrong with shooting for the stars.
