OK!: Do you have a celebrity crush?

My celebrity crush would be Oprah. She’s pretty awesome, actually.

OK!: Do you like going home to Atlanta?

I’m always going back to smell the air, and eat collard greens. Southern food is so fattening but, man, is it good!

OK!: How do you like to relax?

I read, play a little guitar, see a sunset at the beach, ride my bike, go skateboarding.

OK!: Do you have pets?

I want a dog, but you have to be there. I cannot do that to a dog. It’s the same reason I don’t have kids.

OK!: Has money changed you?

No, I appreciate everything I have.

OK!: Which celebrity homes need a makeover?

I have no idea. I don’t really know any celebrities – I wish I did!

OK!: Tell us something surprising about yourself.

I collect airplane vomit bags. I’ve got 340! I put a candle in there and put them outside – it looks romantic.
