I love music and I love acting. I always keep that in the forefront, not all the other distractions around me.

I'm definitely a perfectionist. I started entertaining so young. I think naturally my personality is that of a perfectionist, and then on top of that, growing up in the industry I became very objective and analytical of myself early on and I find myself doing that in everything. It works good in my work, but sometimes it can be annoying, I imagine, to people in my life.

I always try to set a positive example for my generation and promote confidence.

Working with Ice Cube was so tight. He's cool, and I really like how he does family stuff. My guy friends couldn't believe I was chillin' with him. Dudes love Ice Cube.

Often, kids don't appreciate the choices available, as if it's either the street or nothing.

I love music and I love acting. I always keep that in the forefront, not all the other distractions around me.

I'm a workaholic, so I ignore the signs of fatigue and just keep going and going, and then conk out when I get home. It can be pretty stressful.
