My dad is from Queens. I remember visiting as a kid. My grandparents grew up here. All the actors I respected were coming out of here. All the hip-hop I was listening to - Beastie Boys, A Tribe Called Quest, Biggie, Wu Tang - was coming out of New York. I'm just into it.
I'm pretty good with talking to girls if I have an introduction, but I'm the worst at trying to go pick up a girl. I'm really bad at breaking the ice. It's awkward!
I think when you get out of the big cities people get really freaked out when they see someone who is on TV, because they're not used to that.
I love the Olympics. Something about the Olympics just makes everything competitive.
I've always gone back and forth between acting and music, but for music I'm not trying to be a pop star - I just like to do it.
I've got a lot of artistic energy, but there's only so much of it, though. You don't want to spread yourself thin.
As I get older, I find myself way more into sports. I'm in a basketball league. You maybe know some of the people in it. They're real people, not fake ones like me.
I have to be honest, I dont pay as much attention to womens fashion, but being a sneaker head, I do like it when a girl can rock a nice pair of sneakers. Not every girl can do it. Every girl looks good in heels - thats a given - but not every girl can look good in fresh kicks.
I want to play challenging characters. You should never be satisfied.
I love going to work, doing acting. I love when I'm done with a movie or a TV show. I love hitting the road or being in the studio or going on tour. That's what I get off on. I don't need to have my business in the press and all that stuff. I'm pretty low key. It's all about the work for me.
I get to dress how I want, but sometimes I gotta wear different hats.
I would never attach myself to a brand that doesn't represent me.
There are so many girls out there that I don't have to work with and who aren't married or have boyfriends. There's plenty of people out there, so you don't have to mix work and pleasure. It gets muddy.
I love to write music. I love melodies, I love playing guitar. I just do it for fun.
