People always accuse me of being motivational in a way, like it was a bad thing, but that's just how I was raised. My mom raised me in a positive environment, with lots of love in my heart, and that reflects in my music.

I don't play the tuba.

Music is my life, it is a reflection of what I go through.

(On being asked if he preferred to be a rock god or sex god) I am neither. My favourite role is father.

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.
