I've been making music for a long time, but I've been waiting to do it right, because I don't want people to think it's just a stepping stone in my career. A lot of actors go that route as a way of building their careers. I don't want it to be seen as that.

I never really saw my mom as Diana Ross. My mom was my mom.

Evan Ross

My father had an amazing legacy, and so does my mother. I wanted to be able to have both names there. In my personal life, it's Evan Naess. In my career life, it's Evan Ross.

I really just want to do the best at everything I do. I just want to have all the great people around me that I feel is family, as well as my friends, and I have an amazing girlfriend. I think having love in your life is most important.

My mom liked to have us travel in first class with her. She's like, 'I work for my money, and I want my kids to live a certain kind of way.' My dad used to get so mad at my mom for flying us first class. So it was a clash on that.

I'm a fan of Miguel's; he's a friend of mine. I like melodic music, you know?

Evan Ross

Courtney Cox is one of my best friends.

Evan Ross

I grew up in a family where I had a lot of different siblings from - you know, I grew up in a big family, and I think it's a beautiful thing.

Evan Ross

Bruno Mars is great.

Evan Ross

Go see 'ATL' to really see the whole vibe of Atlanta.

Evan Ross

I still love listening to the old stuff - Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, you know. I stick to the old school stuff, but I love Mark Ronson. I love John Legend.

Evan Ross

I have many creative outlets. I sing, I like music, I like art, I paint, I draw. I like buying art. I read a lot, too. I love books. And I'm working on a clothing line, too.

Evan Ross

Me and my mom are extremely, extremely close.

The one worry that I always have with TV is that it's such a long commitment. You sign on to be there for a good amount of time, and then you can't go and do films and things like that.

Evan Ross

I want to be remembered for the good work that I've done, for the positive work, and as somebody who was innovative and who people enjoyed.

Evan Ross

I feel like I've been very smart in the way that I carry myself and treat myself. I feel like my mom was a big part of that just because she's always let us make our own decisions, and we've known very much about the mistakes and the dangers already of whatever this Hollywood life may be.

Evan Ross

When you are a rapper, there's always hesitation in taking on certain roles because of creditability, but Rza is one of those guys who doesn't worry about what people will say. He's a talented guy and can dive into anything.

Evan Ross

I've seen all of my mom's films. She's the reason why I do almost anything.

Evan Ross

I don't think it's possible to ruin a relationship because of anything you do. I think it's about whether or not you're supposed to be together.

Evan Ross

I think that when you start rolling with an entourage, you attract attention, and you tend to create this whole big thing. My mom taught me that when you keep a low profile, most people tend to totally miss you because they're not expecting anything.
