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.
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.
I hope fans will go back and listen to the Beatles and the Beach Boys or Led Zeppelin, or put on 'Tommy' and let them experience like I did that moment when 'Pinball Wizard' comes on.
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.
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.
