I find cooking to be the one thing that relaxes me. I don't get to do it often . . .

The story that I wanna tell is pretty much about the way I grew up. Being bi-racial, growing up in a big city and being an artist.

I wasn't the kind of person that liked waiting for autographs or following them, I just liked to go to the shows, study their records, driving many, many hours to different states to go to concerts.

The most important thing for me is the moment, going from one thing to the next and hitting all the different levels and different points that make the whole what it is.

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

My career has been a gradual climb. I think that's part of the reason why I've had longevity.

For the last few years, it's been so chic for everybody to be miserable. Like if you're in with the cool crowd, you can't be happy.
