Because I came out as a singer, I took the time to get an acting coach.

It was always part of the plan to move into acting.

You have to love what you do to want to do it everyday.

In film, you are a totally different person than in the video.

Keep working hard and you can get anything that you want.

I'm involved in some action scenes, so they'll train me for that. I'll be working with my acting coach to prepare for my character.

I don't feel I made any sacrifices at all. I'm doing my best to juggle.

There are certain things I want to keep to me. I don't discuss my private life.

I'm the interpreter. I'm the one who takes your words and brings them to life. I was trained to sing and dance and laugh, and that's what I want to do.

I don't want to abandon one work for the other, and I don't think I need to sacrifice anything to put my all into either one of them.

It's hard to say what I want my legacy to be when I'm long gone.

There are times in my life when I just want to be by myself.

I began to work the stage and get the audience into it. I also learned how to have fun out there. It is something I will never forget.

I want people to remember me as a full on entertainer and a good person.

Because I came out as a singer, I took the time to get an acting coach.

If I don't think about it, it won't drive me crazy.

The Matrix is top secret. There isn't much that can be said right now.

I'm a total performer.

There are times I can't even figure myself out.

I have the time needed to support the album and tour.

If you want to go to the mall, you have to take security. But it's always cool. The kids are amazing.

It's really a sad story, and I liked that. The songs on this album talk about relationships in every aspect.

I see myself as sexy. If you are comfortable with it, it can be very classy and appealing.

I stay true to myself and my style, and I am always pushing myself to be aware of that and be original.

All I can do is leave it in God's hands and hope that my fans feel where I'm coming from.

Romeo Must Die came at the right time. It was the right vehicle for me.

I don't think about my previous success. I'm happy that the work I've done has been very successful.

I think it's important to take a break, you know, from the public eye for a while, and give people a chance to miss you. I want longevity. I don't want to get out there and run myself ragged and spread myself thin.

I know that people think I'm sexy and I am looked at as that. It is cool with me. It's wonderful to have sexy appeal. If you embrace it, it can be a very beautiful thing.

And if at first you don't succeed, then dust yourself off and try again!

I stay true to myself and my style and I am always pushing myself to be aware of that and be original.

Its Friday and Im ready to swing. Pick up my girls and hit the party scene.

It was always part of the plan to move into acting.

Be where the acting is. I live in Houston. Dallas is 4 1/2 hours away. I let them know there's no difference.

My mother keeps things in perspective for me. She makes me realize that the acting I do and love is no more important than what one of my brothers does-he works in a shoe repair shop. If my career ever tapers off, I'll go to college.

In Hungary, acting is a career for which one fits himself as earnestly as one studies for a degree in medicine, law, or philosophy.

I think acting is about forgetting yourself in order to give the best of yourself. It's passing through you more than you're creating it. You're not the flower, but the vase which holds the flower.

In LA, too many people want to go the quickest route from A to B. Method acting offers them that.

I don't see it as a form of healing, because if you have wounds that are bleeding I don't think acting will ever get them to stop. But I find acting is a form of illumination.

Maybe I can't act, but I know the gimmicks. I studied acting all my life and know what's good for me.

I know that if I'd had to go and take an exam for acting, I wouldn't have got anywhere. You don't take exams for acting, you take your courage.

I'm not acting, but I am acting.

I've done a lot of acting. I'm not saying I'm the greatest, but I'd love to act, I'd love to sing.

I had a bonding problem when I went off and boxed for five years. I was over in Europe and Asia fighting because I wanted to do something different; I was tired of acting. But the thing is, when I was done doing that, I couldn't get a job.

Acting for me is not that quid pro quo.

If you're acting, then there's a prescribed way to behave; whereas in life there's no prescribed way. So acting feels like a comfortable way to get through the day.

When I was a kid, the idea of why I wanted acting to be the thing I do for the rest of my life was different. It was, Oh yeah, I'll get girls and be famous.

And then, I suppose, there's also a cinematic reality on top of that. Because it was extremely difficult to keep tabs on, it was quite confusing acting that.

I read. It's also nice for me to get involved in schoolwork, which is a totally different world than acting. It makes me feel like I am doing things that normal people are doing at my age.
