My mom was an opera singer, and she gave up her career to raise a family. But she also taught my sisters how to sing.

I want to do good, and I want people to be happy, and sometimes when you're a people pleaser, you spread yourself too thin.

It used to be that film stars didn't want to do TV, and actors weren't singing, and singers weren't acting. Everybody's kind of crossing over to whatever they want to do. So I feel like, if you have it, use it. If God's given you this talent, then use it.

You have a lot of disappointments as an actor.

I think that if you've got a great support system around you, and a great family, and a tight team around you, I think you don't get lost.

My family has always been there to support me along the way. My coach, John Nicks, is a great influence.

In terms of the Japanese royal family, they were considered the direct descendants of a god. They are regarded as all-powerful and possessors of unimaginable wealth, and yet they are, more often than not, literally prisoners of tradition.

I've spent a lot of my career playing heroes, like Jared in 'The Pretender,' but playing part of a dysfunctional family is more interesting.
