Usher has sold more than 65 million albums and has been nominated at numerous award ceremonies including the BRITS, MTV Video and Europe Music Awards, Billboard and the Grammys but says what spurs him on more than anything is motivating others.

He explained: “I tend to do things that are motivating for others and continue to be creative, open-minded and believe in my dreams. At this stage, doing something for the good of others is bigger than an award, bigger than a new album or new bling.”

However, while he loves making music, Usher’s favorite way of relaxing and getting new inspiration is going to art museums all over the world.

He told Britain’s HELLO! magazine:” I love to travel and see the world, taking in art museums. I really enjoyed the Louvre when I was there not so long ago. I just love to talk to people as much as I can, talking about what’s going on in their life and what they’re experiencing.”

Also, Usher is finding it tough to get his two kids, Usher Raymond V and Naviyd, to go to bed because they have taken on his ”late-night personality”.

He admits bed time can be difficult because his sons would love to stay up all night if he let them.

“What parent doesn’t have a hard time when their kid doesn’t want to go to bed? But I’ve been practicing. I’ve got a routine down pat with them – we read books, say our prayers and then it’s lights out for bed, after which they might ask for a glass of water or milk. You might think that the standard is a bit different for a rock star dad!

“My boys have inherited my late-night personality and would love to blast their music and jump on tables if I let them.”

While Usher has sold more than million albums worldwide in his career, he cites fatherhood as his greatest achievement.

He said: “Given the adversity I’ve had in my life, I’m just happy to be alive, kicking and loving life the way that I am. But really my proudest accomplishment is having my sons.”

Usher wants a woman in his life to make him a “better man”.

The ‘OMG’ hitmaker – who divorced Tameka Foster, the mother of his two sons, in 2009 – explained while he thinks Rihanna is “beautiful”, he won’t be attempting to romance her any time soon as she is like a “sister” to him.

He said: “Companionship is important – every man should have a woman to make him better. I’m dating at the moment – not anyone in particular, but I have a few people I’m interested in.

“Rihanna is beautiful. But she’s not necessarily on my hit list – she’s like my sister right now. Or cousin – we have kissed.”

As well as praising Rihanna’s beauty, Usher thinks Victoria and David Beckham’s sons Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight, and six-year-old Cruz – who he taught to dance – are “mini gods”.

“David called me a few months ago asking if I knew anyone who could teach their sons to break-dance,” he added. “They are like mini gods. They look just like him.”
