It's an amazing feeling to go into a studio and really be alone.

I still think that movies are amazing I respect actors and directors.

I loved hip-hop. The first stuff I heard was Public Enemy, and I couldn't believe it. It was amazing, and I've always loved hip-hop.

It's an amazing feeling to go into a studio and really be alone.

I wouldn't feel satisfied being on set every day doing a romantic comedy - I'd be bored to death.

I have this horrible sense of humor where I think discomfort is funny - partly because I experience discomfort a lot, and it's a way of laughing at it and getting a release.

I guess my experience with some stuff is kind of abstract.

For me, I'd rather have an intense experience than not.

I had a really wonderful upbringing. We were a tight family. It was wonderful to grow up with so many siblings. We were all just a year or two apart, and we were always so supportive of each other. I learned everything from my older brother and sister and taught it to my younger sisters.

I always have the fear that, if I don't commit 100 percent to my work, then it's gonna suffer.
