That's supposed to be next year, ... That's something that I actually wrote and produced, too.
I admire the moguls of the game. The Russell Simmons, Quincy Jones and P. Diddys of the world. They have done things that affected our culture, and I want to do the same thing.
I actually created the concept and wrote the story and produced it, so it's kind of like my baby, going from my idea to a feature film.
I think it takes a strong man to be in a relationship with a strong woman. A lot of people hear the word 'diva' and think of it as a negative. I see it as a positive. I want somebody who knows what they want out of life and isn't afraid to show it.
To be compared to Will Smith is probably one of the coolest things because that's who I came up admiring.
So my father was a person who never lied to me. If I had a question, he answered it. I knew a lot of things at a young age because I was intrigued.
My Vocation is my Vacation. I love what I do.
Right now, I'm as single as a slice of American cheese.
I'm not geeky but I have my geeky, corky moments, and then I've got some aspects of cool in me, I guess.
You can't love music without loving the Beatles.
The thing I adore about Mariah the most is she's probably the most nurturing person I've ever met, like one of those spirits that walks into the room and wants to make sure that everybody's okay and taken care of. For someone to be at her status but be so concerned about others is really cool.
Even though I am fortunate to have certain luxuries, sometimes, I am even amazed by what people with money have and do. I want to remind people that just because you might be rich and famous, it doesn't mean you have to take yourself too seriously.
Hunger is a deep concern of mine, and I feel that no one should go without food in this world as long as there are caring people to lend a hand. I've had to struggle in my past and I know what it's like to go without, so I try to do as much as I can to help bring awareness to an issue that hits very close to home for me.
