Bow Wow is amazing in this film, ... I always like to say, 'If you can't picture someone else in the film, then that person did a phenomenal job,' and I can't really picture anybody else in the role of Xavier. He stripped himself totally of the Bow Wow character and became Xavier.
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.
I'm so into playing different characters, even when I was on Nickelodeon. I just observe.
We would always talk about that and say All That was the new Saturday Night Live.
to start creating my own projects. People want to work with me but there aren't that many scripts being written for me.
I was attracted from day one. How could you not be attracted to someone who has a great spirit on the inside and beautiful on the outside?
She said she was in the clinic and heard a voice, ... I said, 'Yo, that was me.'
I think I must have attention deficit disorder,
There's so many people that follow the trend, and then it gets to a point where it gets a little stale. So, in music; I mean, whoever's the new trendsetter, that's who people follow.
I've never been able to sky-dive, and I've always wanted to. I've probably done everything else, but for some reason the insurance company won't let me do it.
I want to affect culture. I want to have my mark on everything. I give examples of people like Bill Cosby, Quincy Jones - those are the people who I look up to. The game wouldn't be the same without them. What happens in the course of 5 years isn't really important to me. I care about what they'll say about me in 50 years.
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.
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.
I like underground rappers - Cory Gunz is a young kid that's been really doing his thing. I'm a Gym Class Heroes type of fan even though they're not new, but they're definitely trendsetters.
