I've been able to work with some incredible voice talent, most of whom I grew up hearing in my favorite cartoons.
Rufus Wainwright is my go-to for any kind of emotion. He's got songs for all of it.
I grew up on old music. I'm just not really into the new stuff.
My favorite sport is baseball; my cousin is pitcher Heath Bell.
My first two records were influenced by the Beatles and the Beach Boys.
My first guitar was a Gretsch 6120, and I just loved listening to artists like Elvis, Chuck Berry and Stray Cats.
My dream has been to have my rock band behind me, play live, and entertain.
My dad sat me in front of the TV, and instead of putting on Nick Jr. or something, he put me in front of 'Jailhouse Rock' and all the Elvis movies.
Music and acting kind of all goes together.
I was scrolling through my Twitter feed one day, and somebody had tweeted me a picture of Justin Bieber that had been Photoshopped with makeup or something. And I thought it was funny and so I hit retweet - I just retweeted a tweet - and all of a sudden, the remarks were coming in.
I was raised on Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly and discovered the Stray Cats when I was 11 or 12 years old.
I would rather be on stage playing to 25 people with a band I love and the music I love than learning dance moves I don't want to do for 25,000 people.
Leslie Nielsen was my favorite growing up; getting to work with him was amazing.
I'm all about unity and loving your neighbor... If somebody told me when I was growing up that the music I was listening to was stupid, and I listened to them, I wouldn't be where I am today.
