Silver Spoons' was great memories - absolutely the best.

There are always moments of despair when you get close to jobs and lose them at the last second. It feels like getting punched in the stomach. You feel like, 'Why do I do this?' Then you go to bed, get up the next day and forget about it.

I didn't choose 'Silver Spoons'. I think my mom and agent chose it because at that time there was a lack of patience on some of the people that were in charge of my career. I think there was a big offer on the table, and I think they took it.

I didn't take the reins of my career until I was about 21, and I've been in charge since then.

Should kids check phones at dinner? I don't know. To me, that's a parenting choice.

No parents deserve to see their only child die.

Earliest musical memory is probably being scared stiff with my family's band as a youngster on stage playing the conga drums.

I was able to do To Sleep with Anger, a very powerful film about African Americans, their spirituality, and the things that happened within a small community and a family.
