Q: What is your actual goal in life?
Drake: I just want to be happy and make other people happy. That's why I play music and act.
Q: What's up with the "Drake and Josh" movie?
Drake: We actually started production last Wednesday and it's "Merry Christmas Drake and Josh" and it's going to be airing in December. It's awesome. We've been done (with the show) for two and a half years so to actually be back together with everyone is like a high school or family reunion.
Q: What is the coolest thing about being an actor and musician?
Drake: I love all aspects of entertainment, playing music live, doing movies. Probably when you have a live audience on television is the coolest. You get the reactions to your jokes and see how people are responding.
Q: Anything new with your music?
Drake: I'm working on a new record right now for Universal and that should be coming out early next year and we're doing some songs for the Drake and Josh movie.
Q: How is Miley doing hosting the show so far?
Drake: Oh, she's great. She's got tons of energy and is a bundle of joy. She's awesome. I love her.
Q: How does the media affect teens?
Drake: Well, not well. It's a heavy influence, not necessarily a good one.
Q: What's the biggest issue facing kids do you think?
Drake: I think it's wanting to feel accepted or this ideal that people are putting in front of you in the media that's difficult to live up to. If you live in L.A. you don't see how [the hype] effects the girl in Michigan who is reading these magazines going 'I could never look like this or be like this'. You need to know it's not important. It's what's going on in your mind, not what designer you're wearing.
