I would never discredit anyone that is working their way up on a show like "American Idol." I think they work so hard overcoming all of the obstacles to get on the show in the first place and then every week they are judged in front of all of America... I give them complete credit for getting up on stage... I think they deserve all the success that they get.

There are parallels between the music and film worlds, but they're really very different. I feel like they're just two different ways to channel my creativity.

I've had the opportunity to play the drug dealer who gets gang-raped, and I'm like, "For what reason? Doing it just to do it? To just show people that I can be sexy or dark?" I don't want to do something just to make that point. It needs to happen organically, and I'm really confident it will. I'm a pretty patient person, and I'll wait until we find the right stuff.

I was always the first one to break. I'll admit it. I couldn't keep a straight face.

A smile is so sexy, yet so warm. When someone genuinely smiles at you, it's the greatest feeling in the world.

I'm slightly controlling. I'm an Aries and I like things to have an order. I get slightly disturbed and I get slightly distressed and flustered if things go awry.

Love is like nothing else on this earth, but only when it is shared with someone wonderful like you.
