I'm trying to create the world around myself to be a place of as much equality and openheartedness as possible.

Life is full of constant ups and downs, and all I ask for is redemption in the end.

I'd like to collaborate with Jay-Z and Mary J. Blige.

Like with acting, if you're charming or just good-looking, you might be able to get your foot in the door. But a lot of time with music, you actually have to kinda be able to sing.

I write songs like "The Sweetest Love." Of course I'm a little cheesy. Love is cheesy. Love is corny. But it's also the greatest feeling in the whole world.

I grew up in a Hollywood family with money, so money is not the reason I make music. I'm as Hollywood as it gets. Not internally but externally - that's my bloodline.

While other kids played with cars and toys, I listened to music all day. I wanted to sing it and learn it.
