From the music I make, to the things I do in my life, I'm true to my R&B core.

I think clothes are very much a representation of your attitude and the way you feel. I really love to be dressed down, though.

In my dressing room, you'll definitely find some Starbursts and Skittles. I have a lot of candles that remind me of home, and a humidifier for my voice. I also have some digital Kodak albums where I have pictures of my friends and family.

I don't think music can be held. I don't think artists can be put into boxes or places. It's all about creating and making the best music you can.

I've been in front of the camera a million times as a musician, and even directed a few music videos. So, I know a lot about spacing, focus, blocking, etcetera. So, acting isn't totally new for me. Still, I find it fascinating, because you actually get to be another person.

I think people just feel me. Whenever they listen to the music, it's just coming out. I think you can hear what I put into it. A lot of it is God. You can use stuff to where you want it. Like I pray to God, and I asked for direction early on, and he gave me so much. It's like rappers and soul singers is taking to me. That's both sides of me.

I wish I never fell so deep in love with you and now it ain't no way we can be friends.
