People have always said I have an old soul, and all my best friends are 10 to 15 years my senior.
Me personally, I wouldn't put my kids on television. But to each his own.
If I have a talent, it's already been exploited! I've shown everything I can do to the public.
I'm so into playing different characters, even when I was on Nickelodeon. I just observe.
I'm not geeky but I have my geeky, corky moments, and then I've got some aspects of cool in me, I guess.
Right now, I'm as single as a slice of American cheese.
Saturday morning, you knew what was cool by what was on 'Soul Train.'
My Vocation is my Vacation. I love what I do.
Oh yeah, the preacher's kid has to be the baddest one. If everyone is smoking weed, we've got to smoke crack. If you're throwing rocks, we've got to throw bigger rocks
It's fun having songs about parties and gigolos, but I really wanted to use my music as a form of art. Art is supposed to spark conversation and make people think, and I wanted to do that with this song

We are already expected to be the goodie two shoes. I went through that during my junior high schools where I wasn't allowed to watch television. I wasn't allowed to listen to the radio.
This is my chance to get out there and appease the fans of my music as well as show people that I do do standup comedy because a lot of people don't know that's where I started.
The beautiful thing about acting is that you can just dive into the character, strip yourself of everything, and just get in there and perfect your craft.
