Most of my career has been about standing on a stage performing music to an audience, and once the show is over, they go home and I go on to the next show.

My mother was a secretary that elevated herself to having her own international company, my father elevated himself to an NBA player and perennial all-star. So I learned from my parents that it's about hard work, about both of them getting their education, putting people first and leading a life of integrity.

I'm not a career politician, so the ways of Washington may be a little obscure to me.

I don't want this to be, 'Hey, you're the guy who had that one show. What are you doing now?' I want it to be a career.
