If you're doing a music film, you've got to be singing about something.

I would like to do something autobiographical, set to music. I don't know how I'm going to do it, but I'm going to try.

I'm doing a record that has a story that runs through all of the songs, and then there is also a film that goes along with it.

All I want is the same opportunities as the filmmakers I grew up admiring. But you know, I've had lots of amazing opportunities to do the movies I wanted to do. If I could write my future, I'd want to keep making character-based films that can make use of my voice as a filmmaker.

I want to be able to make people laugh and cry and feel happy or sad and feel all these different emotions through singing and acting. Hopefully throughout my career, I'll get to pursue them.

I've been auditioning for a few movies here and there. I don't want anything to get in the way of the music any more than it has. It hasn't really gotten in the way; I've been doing two things at once.

I want to do a musical movie. Like Evita, but with good music.

Now, it's almost impossible to go out and do a film about a new form of music.

I no longer do a film for the wrong reasons. I have to be convinced ethically and morally. Both the director and I have to be on the same page. There are just five songs in most films these days, and they have to be amazing. There has to be a twist in the screenplay. The editing has to be crisp. Your hard work should show, but effortlessly.

Composing for movies is not an easy job - its a different art altogether, and moreover, I don't want to get involved in too many things at one time and want to concentrate on my shows and albums.
