Seeing my mother become very strong and very independent had a huge impact on me.

I've always had a lot of creative impact on the music with Timbaland.

I've only ever had two vacations in my whole career, and I've been in the industry over twenty-something years!

Maybe I should find myself one of those sexy British soccer stars. David Beckham is hot. But I've got a hell of a lot of competition.

I had white family members, black family members, white friends, black friends by the time I was 16.

I stole a significant amount of money from a family member. I knew I was going to get caught, but I was so desperate I didn't care. It was a cry for help.

With movies, you come and go as an actor, especially if you are not the lead, from week to week. You don't really have a lot of time to get to know anyone, and then on to the next thing. I know a lot of actors who find fulfillment in playing an entirely new character. I like to stick with one character and create a family with the people around me.

I grew up in an Irish Catholic family, and I think they force you to watch every James Cagney movie.
