I will admit, the dominatrix look has won me over!

Sometimes an interviewer will look at me and say, 'You're bright!' They're actually surprised I might be bright.

You know, sometimes an interviewer will look at me and say - you're bright! They're actually surprised I might be bright.

Drink to me only with thine eyes, And I will pledge with mine; Or leave a kiss but in the cup And I'll not look for wine.

If you look back to a picture of me when I was 12 years old, you will probably see me in a leather jacket trying to look like Elvis!

I really like to look professional but also have personal flare. You will never find me in head-to-toe designer - I like to mix it up.

I look up to Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn and old styles. You will never see me in a crop top and hot pants - I'm more into dresses.

More than the hits, flops will have an impact on my career. In fact, flops helped me shape my career. They made me look at things from a different angle.

I have my private security and they can look after me, but who will control the crowd? We are witnessing huge crowds during campaigning. If something untoward happens, then what?

I learned early on - I can go to a shoot, and they will put anything they want to put on me, and I'll look like an idiot because I didn't say I don't like it. It's OK to have an opinion.

When I'm hiring someone I look for magic and a spark. Little things that intuitively give me a gut feeling that this person will go to the ends of the earth to accomplish the task at hand.

I plan to join the 'SNL' band as a maraca player and stand behind saxophonist Lenny Pickett. That way they will at least cut to me before commercial breaks. I'll be sure to look right into camera.

As for Aamir Khan, he keeps raising the standard with every film. For an artist like me or a newcomer like me, we can only look up to that and dream, 'When will that be us someday?' There's so much to learn from him. He is the encyclopedia of acting.

There are a lot of hardcore 'Napoleon' fans, and they do the research and find photos of what I look like when I'm not 'Kip-ified.' Those fans recognize me. It happens maybe once a week, where someone will come up to me and be, like, 'Dude, you're Kip.' And I'm, like, 'Yeah, my name's Aaron.'

As I look back and connect the dots, all I want to do is go back and hug my scared young self, who took a lot of steps out of impulse not knowing what will happen. So many nights of disappointment, so many others of being disillusioned where I would have just gone ahead and quit it all - I still do not know what kept me hanging in there.
