I look at rap as an opportunity to act. My head is full of different characters - in each song I'm auditioning a character.

I haven't done rap... I can't do that too well.

It must surprise people that I'm such a rap fan, but it's true. Sometimes, just staying in, putting on some rap music, and letting loose is all I need to have a good time.

Just knowing how to rap doesn't necessarily mean that you're a good songwriter.

A lot of rap music can get repetitive.

You have to come in on a professional level to make it, otherwise you just can't get into rap.

I'm not really into rap.

Rap for me is like making movies, telling stories, and getting the emotions of the songs through in just as deep a way.

That's the reason why I'm making albums. That's the reason why I love hip-hop: It's a challenge every time.

If you stay in one place, you can only rap about one thing because that's all you know.
