I am what I am, I'm doing very well in my life, and I'm thankful to God for that.

I think when you move past your fear and you go after your dreams wholeheartedly, you become free.

Do what you love; you'll be better at it. It sounds pretty simple, but you'd be surprised how many people don't get this one right away.

Sometimes you've just got to grab an apple - or grapes, or strawberries. Something that's healthy but maybe a little bit more adventurous, if you can see fruit as adventurous.

I've got to see my movie to see how I'm acting, see what little things I can learn about my craft.

I feel like my peers now are artists like Madonna and the Stones, Michael Jackson and Prince. These are people who were able to take their careers beyond the normal here-today-gone-tomorrow life span.

As a black man, my hope is that I can touch more and more people all over the world of different races and different colours.
