When I was 16, I really decided that music was something I wanted to do.
For Scary Movie 2, we had a due date and had to work fast. And though there's a lot of pressure, as artists, we just block it out. So really, the pressure comes from us. That's how the first movie happened. There was no outside pressure: we wanted to hit the audience hard.
I've never wanted to be the hottest star. I always wanted to do good movies.
As soon as I realized you could be funny as a job, that was the job I wanted.

A million words were going through my head and honestly I didn't say one of them. I wanted to let it sit, simmer, you know I wanted to soak it all in - the moment was amazing.
