My favorite singer is Lauryn Hill - all time, hands down. She was my biggest inspiration growing up.
Well I'm not much of a singer. But it's been a really nice time to do film, television, theater and have it all happening at once. That wasn't planned but it just happens.
It may take me a long time before I feel 'ready' to tour as a lead singer. I may never be ready... we'll just have to see.
I love singing live, actually. And I'm dying to sing in a role, whether it's in a musical or a biographical film about a singer. It's always been one of my aspirations.
My father was a classical singer of baroque music, and my older sister was in musical theatre, and I thought about doing the same thing but then realised straight acting was for me.
One of the reasons I didn't ever pursue a career - in the music world if you're black or mixed, you need to be able to belt a song or else you're not a singer, you know?
When I do the music, I make the musicians listen to what's happening in the film. That way they treat the dialogue as if it was a singer.
I wanted to be a singer forever. But it's not really my cup of tea. Having the whole world know who you are.
I'm very fond of the Talent series, and also the Crystal Singer trio.

As Buddy Rich, for instance, broke into the business at the age of three, I think it was, on drums, so indeed did I break into the business at the age of four as a singer.
And the thing that I always tried to do with important singers when I met them was to sit down and record everything they knew, give them a first real run-through of their art.
The ability to make somebody feel something: that's art. However you look at it, whether you're an author, a painter, a singer, a rapper, a spoken-word artist - art.
I love English rock music the best and have always been fascinated by The Clash, especially Joe Strummer, their singer.
I played guitar and bass. I didn't do much vocals, although I did have one band where I was the lead singer. But that was when I was in college.
