IGN: Are you trying to transition into a long-term acting career?Ludacris: Eventually, yeah. I still love music and I've been doing music my whole entire life, but I'm gradually slipping into the acting game.
IGN: I enjoyed watching you in Crash a few years ago because the character you play kind of deceives himself into believing he's not part of the problem through his little philosophies. Are those levels something that you find you have to bring to roles, or are they there when you get the script?
Ludacris: A Little bit of both. Sometimes you already have these personal traits and you just bring them out and then you develop other things. I take the acting craft very seriously, but I'm enjoying it so I learn as I go along. Experience is the best teacher, so it's both.
IGN: In my experience, the film industry demands of its performers that they become somebody else, while the music industry wants its stars to be themselves. How easy has it been to sort of detach yourself from being "Ludacris" going into each new role?
Ludacris: That's the thing – the persona I've created for myself as Ludacris was very vast and it's not like I had to stick to one particular personality. It was very broad in terms of how I was being created and almost being funny in a sense, so it's very easy for me to do that. I've always been one that says I think the best thing about why people even gravitate towards me is because I'm not afraid to explore different things, and I don't think I have to prove anything to anyone. So it's familiar.
