Diddy dreams of sophistication

Diddy "fantasises" about being "calm and sophisticated".
The 46-year-old music mogul – whose real name is Sean Combs – keeps his three Grammy Awards in a special "Sunday room" in his home and dreams about spending relaxing days doing ordinary tasks with his statuettes looking down on them.
He said: "[It’s] this room that just feels intimate, that just feels like it would be the perfect place to do a photo shoot reading the New York and L.A. Times on a Sunday, so I call it my Sunday room.
"I don’t get to use it a lot, but I fantasise a lot about myself being calm enough to sit down and read the papers and have some coffee and just act really sophisticated and look up at my Grammys. I just haven’t gotten to doing that part of it yet."
Before a gig, the ‘I’ll Be Missing You’ hitmaker likes to give himself a motivational talk.
Asked how he prepares for a show, he told Us Weekly magazine: "I basically just look in the mirror, tell myself that I’m gonna go out and put on a great show."
And the rapper – who has six children, Quincy, 25, Justin, 22, Christian, 18, Chance, 10 and nine-year-old twins D’Lila and Jessie – also confessed to having a fascination with history.
He said: "I liked history [best at school], how America was built and the lives of people."
But there is nothing diddy likes more than a slice of his favourite dessert.
He said with a smile: "Apple pie is my favourite thing in the world."
