With the other fellow actors who have gone astray, I think it's sad that society wants to label the business as doing this to people. It's really not true.

Whatever I'm doing, whatever comes along, this music is something that I've always wanted to do.

With a lot of kids in the business, the parents get as twisted as they do, and there's a lot of opportunities to go their own way, but anyone has that opportunity.

My brother's been producing rap music and hip-hop for maybe 10 years.

Someone like Russell Crowe is questioned for his passion for music, and whatever he does, music is just in his heart and soul. All he wants to do is music.

It's definitely a struggle to prove yourself just as a good human being. I'm so proud of who I am and what I've become, the morals I have, and the people that I'm surrounded by.

It's never been bad or ridiculous. I know who I am and what I've done, and I'm really comfortable with myself.
