I came in to win, you know. This is why I stay up late while other people are sleeping.

I have learned to enjoy the ups for what they are, because those are the moments that feel like they go by the quickest.

Take the craziest dream you ever had and go after it. Make it a reality. I don't want you to dream, I want you to do.

When I decided I wanted to be an actor, I said I wanted to work with quality actors and directors.

I got a chance to have my dream come true, and I wanted to make sure I made the decision as to when I dropped my last album. If I don't feel like this album is an incredible piece of work, then I'm cool with the albums I've done. I don't have to put out another album.

I've never really taken more than four days off, so it was a lot for me to go away for three-and-a-half months. I went all over Europe. I walked on a whole bunch of beaches and I did a lot of thinking.

I will leave an impression.
