One of my teachers used to call me Prince, because I always had a way of charming myself in and out of different situations.

I can't run away when I'm scared. I always have to attack. That's how I deal with seemingly difficult things.

I have a great time with my life, and I wanna share it.

I've always been the goofy kid. Growing up, I always enjoyed the comedic aspect of relating to women. Even on camera, it was always the funny take on it.

You'd be surprised how much you don't understand what other people see your actions as; how other people view the things you say and the things that you do. And a lot of times just clarifying what your intentions are with people makes a huge difference.
