Kerry Washington covers the latest issue of EMMY Magazine. Inside, find out how Kerry envisioned her future, prior to acting, and see what Miguel told PAPER Magazine about revealing his emotions through music.
Clad in a white gown with detailed cutouts, NACCP Image Award winner Kerry Washington covers the June 2013 issue of Emmy Magazine. In the magazine, Kerry revealed that she never had plans to become an actress. In fact, she though she'd become a college professor, “Or a shrink. I had a real curiosity about how people become the people they are.”
She also opened up about her reservations in joining the acting world. “I thought that to be an actress, you had to want to be famous. And that wasn’t something I was interested in.” But after a summer program, she began to see things a bit differently.
"I realized there were lots of people who made a living as actors who may never be on the cover of a magazine, but still had fulfilling careers. And I decided, ‘I’m going to go for it.’ But I never really saw myself as someone who would be that girl on the cover of anything.”
But look at Kerry now!

In the latest of PAPER Magazine, Miguel opened up about his successful year and how he hopes to prove that R&B has no limits. But despite the outpouring of emotional songs on Kaleidoscope Dream, Miguel says he's not very emotional in his real life. He told the mag, "As comfortable as I am dealing with it in my music, it's so much harder to do for real. I'm not even going to pretend."
And when discussing the myriad of sounds on his latest album, and why it won't fit neatly into the box of R&B, he said,
"This was my own anti-establishment way of saying, 'Fuck you, I am my own business. I decide what is good and what is not. I wanted to reconnect to my peers, the people that I hang out with, the ones that go to the same bars, listen to the same music, look at the same blogs, will be at that art gallery, will be at that show. Those people, the ones that I wasn't touching before, finally I had their attention."
