Even when I was in the orphanage, when I was roaming the street trying to find enough to eat, even then I thought of myself as the greatest actor in the world. I had to feel the exuberance that comes from utter confidence in yourself. Without it, you go down to defeat.

With acting, it's like becoming another person. I think that's neat, especially when you totally forget. If you totally forget, which I love to do, that's when it's magic.

I think Hannah gets nervous just like any other person would. She's like a dork, personally. She's just really, really fun.

When you do rap albums, you got to train yourself. You got to constantly be in character.

It's really fun to put yourself into a character - into shoes you wouldn't normally be in.

I'm unconscious while I'm acting. I live the role and am not myself.
