Race in this country is still the elephant in the room that no one wants to discuss.

The fans of 'The Hunger Games,' of the book, are very passionate. It's funny: Even at my concerts there are people holding up 'Cinna' signs.

It's a good time for me to pursue acting, I suppose since I'm enjoying having another medium in which to express myself. I've been getting a great response to my work.

When I'm making my music, I'm writing it, I'm producing it, I'm playing all the instruments, I'm performing. It's my own world where I do what I feel, and nobody tells me anything.

I just need to know that I did the very best I could and that I was true to myself.

I just feel so good; it feels like a very creative time for me. As far as my mind, spirit, and body, I've never felt better.

I want to do interiors, furniture. I want to do architecture, although I'm not an architect. Nor am I a trained interior designer.
