When it comes to acting, it's about creating a character and bringing forth a director's vision. It's a weird feeling, because with acting, it's just not about me. I love being in that position, because with the music, it's always about me.

I mean, there are only so many notes. What makes something original is how you put it together.

Working with Gabby [Sidibe], I realized immediately that she was amazingly talented. I could tell just by the way she'd get into the role.

I'm just looking for interesting roles and giving acting the respect it deserves.

You can't even sing or play an instrument, so you just scream instead. You're living for an image, so you got five hundred women in your bed.

I'm sure great scripts are hard to find, but I'm definitely open, and waiting to see what comes my way.

When I hear music, it's visual; I see things.
