I was in a movie called 'Vanishing on 7th Street,' and that was my first leading role in a movie. It's an apocalyptic thriller, and it's really cool. It's the first movie I ever shot.

My first film, 'Vanishing on 7th Street,' I really just kinda went in for it. Just gave it my all at the auditions.

There was a bidding war between Epic Records and Jive - now RCA - which was bittersweet. Just having labels bid over me was really cool, but I ended up going with Jive because it felt better over there, and they have my favorite artists like Usher, Chris Brown, and Justin Timberlake.

You know when pillowcases come out of the dryer and they get really wrinkled? I iron them.

Keep God first, chase your dreams, and everything will pay off.

I was really into the first 'Spider-Man' films with Tobey Maguire, so it's pretty cool how it all came full circle.
