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.
My fans are all pretty cool, you know; I've never really seen anybody fighting on Twitter, no death threats, no harsh language, no gay slurs, nothing like that.
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.
I love Christmas. I'm totally the 'decorate early, start listening to Christmas songs super-early' guy.
I love acting, but music is so much more rewarding because it's more personal.
I have met so many of my idols - like Ray Charles, Brian Setzer - all these cats that are legendary musicians. If they had said to me, 'Hey man, I'm busy,' it would have crushed my soul.
I love 'Airplane,' the 'Naked Gun' films; everything the Zucker brothers have done is just awesome.
I like to play music and sleep. But most of all, I love to work... I don't really play sports, so I like to spend my time playing guitar or piano.
I like to get up early in the morning and run.
