Jussie Smollett

I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty. I've done it all. I've worked as a clown, literally, at children's parties.

My family is from Elmhurst, Queens, 54th Avenue, but I was born in Northern California.

If you change because of fame, that's not the right thing. But if you change because of growth, that's normal... The whole fame thing hasn't hit me. And I hope it kind of doesn't.

It's been a blessing to work under Team Timbaland.

I was working at a non-profit for five years. But I could always create music after work. All throughout those years, I was writing songs and recording music and performing around town.

There are projects I've done, such as 'Queen,' where I played Halle Berry and Danny Glover's son, where I'm so extremely proud of the work that I did that I will sit down and watch that any time.
