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.
The live audience, just getting an instant reaction off of an audience is the best part[of the show]. Being in the studio and working on your songs and listening to them back and doing all that - it's a lot of fun, but having that instant reaction and being able to work and vibe with an audience is the best part.
Most people spend their lives on their endeavors, and I get the privilege to have been doing this since I was five. I get to go play and have fun and entertain people.
They're wholesome, and really actually funny. It's not like you turn it on and it's kids throwing pies in each other's faces. There's actually validity to the work.
We're going to be human, and we are going to make mistakes, but you really should understand the power that you have and embrace it in a positive way.
I started playing music when I was around 10. I always wanted to be in a band, so I started out by playing drums.
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.
There's just a lot of really young, entitled people. I don't think a lot of these young people have to work very hard. They're found on YouTube and, boom, thrown into the studio, so they think they can get anything they want.
My character on Drake & Josh is way too cool to be me. He's much smoother with the ladies.
Most of the people who watch the show gravitate toward the music, ... A lot of the kids dig that.
When I was 5, I did a commercial for Whirlpool sitting on a tree stump eating a popsicle that dripped all over my clothes.
When I picked up the guitar for the first time, it opened up a whole new world for me. I became obsessed with writing and playing.
I was raised on Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly and discovered the Stray Cats when I was 11 or 12 years old.
