I realized crime isn't the only way you can judge people. People can do good things, and people can do bad things. It's probably better to understand people for the good things they do.

I basically go to the gym three times a week to do weight training for one or two hours.

People think that if you have a huge appetite, then you'll be better at it. But actually, it's how you confront the food that is brought to you. You have to be mentally and psychologically prepared.

Hatred is a very underestimated emotion.

I have always had confidence in my own ability.

I've never been in a competition before, and I said I'm going to go. I think - I just love to sing.
