I feel like I've reached a point where music has become just as much a priority to me as my acting, and I'm glad to feel that way.

Being of service is something that really makes me happy. Being able to tell young kids about something they might never have known without meeting someone with my experiences is what really what I feel it's all about. I feel that's the only way that you get fulfillment out of life.

I work out. I'm getting toned, too. The Wii Fit really works your body. When I get off, I'm dying.

You should never look at somebody and say, 'I wish I had their life,' because you never really know what struggles they're going through.

If there's a certain song that I want to reach a certain person or certain type of person, that's when I play it for people.

Sometimes, when you grow up in one of these poverty-stricken neighborhoods where the educational system isn't the best, you don't realize that you have any choices.

I think people should have fun. And don't get so down on yourself. Enjoy life and be the best person you can be.
