On becoming a member of the 'celebrity treehouse:'
I was fascinated with Madonna, so meeting her was pretty wild.In general, all of a sudden it's like I'm part of this exclusivetreehouse. Celebrity culture is really interesting. All of a sudden I
have people coming up to me saying, "Hey! I like your work!"--andthey're people whose work I admire. Just to be considered a peer inthis industry is quite surreal."

On starring in a movie musical?
I would love the opportunity to cross over into film or television. Ithink that would be really exciting, especially with movie musicalsbeing so popular right now.

On becoming a business man:
I like to think of myself as someone who does want to understand thebusiness side...It's an interesting challenge to put on differenthats...Sometimes, it's like I do want to think about things commercially and how things are marketed because ultimately thatcreates longevity for an artist. That's something I want.
