I feel like I always describe myself as a late bloomer. My first album, in my mind, was that I had a few songs I needed to take from incomplete demos to working with someone else and finishing them.

I feel like I can be a frontman; I feel like I have good songs.

I feel like that's what being creative is: It's you bouncing with emotion and what you capture in those bounces. Accept where you are and use it.

In 'George Lopez', I played Veronica who's a bratty 18-year-old, and so I feel like it's much easier for me to play that because I feel like a late bloomer. It wasn't difficult or challenging at all because it's not like I haven't been a teenager.

The anxiety I feel when I'm late is nothing like the anxiety I feel when I'm on time.

Tupac was a person who was all about love. I feel like that's me, too; that's who I've always been.
