Yes!!! I booked a commercial!!!

You know, fans who think we were made for each other and describe it in excruciating detail. You get peculiar things and beautiful things. But either way they're clearly thinking about you, which is nice.

It's an important thing to remember where you came from.

When I started studying for the arias it was like going into training for a heavyweight title fight

I have to be happy in the here and now because every time you start focusing on your legacy you're really setting yourself up for disappointment.

I accept that appearance is a big thing in this business. But being around Hollywood and having actor friends and doing music videos, it does make you more aware of how you look. With music videos they send you rough cuts, and in certain frames of me, I just see a nose advert.

A lot of my success comes from black music. It's something I'm very proud of.
