I don't want just 25-year-old girls watching my show. I want Grandma, Grandpa and Mom and Dad and the kids. I just want everyone to hear good music.
It wasn't like a "I know I wanted to do this," I was sort of just - I was five and my dad kinda said hey, you wanna be an actor and I said sure.
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.
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.
I hope my fans will grow with me. I want to be like Michael Jackson: 5-year-olds love his music, and 75-year-olds love his music.
I have a dog named Steve that lives at the studio.
I grew up on oldies like the Beatles and the Beach Boys, Led Zeppelin and The Who.
I grew up on Jerry Lewis and Abbot and Costello, the Marx Brothers.
I fell in love with '50s hot-rod, pinup-girl culture.
I don't eat sushi, but I eat cooked meat.
Dealing with sketch comedy and buddy teams like Abbott and Costello, Bob Hope and Bing Crosby - I just loved buddy comedies.
Artists like Justin Bieber or Lady Gaga have more sway over popular minds than a politician.
