Growing up, I did not have many friends with parents who were together.

Going to the roof of the Empire State Building is pretty amazing for kids.

If I had gotten the parts in 'Scream' or 'I Know What You Did Last Summer,' I would not have been very good in them, and I would've squandered whatever success I had gotten because I wasn't ready for that sort of thing. So I feel grateful for all of the years that I have behind me trying to get traction and a career.

You know, it looks like I have a varied resume or a varied career, that I've made interesting choices, when the truth of the matter is, in a way I've just kind of piece-mealed a career together, you know?

I have to prioritize: father first, and then a pastor and a recording artist and entrepreneur. I try to put everything in proper perspective, and then the proper priority.

I'm a pretty successful songwriter and known in some circles, but I didn't think the story of my career was of any real entertainment value.

If I wasn't in this industry, I wouldn't work out.

Where I'm an outsider is, I'm not a career politician.
