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 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.
I grew up on old music. I'm just not really into the new stuff.
Music and acting kind of all goes together.
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 acting, but music is so much more rewarding because it's more personal.
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 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 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.
I really like Caravan Palace's electro swing stuff. They incorporate the electronic, but when you see them live, they're all on stage playing live music. They're all playing their instruments. They drop these beats with the DJs that are so incredible.
I would say that I'm more than just a teeny-bopper artist... that my music can appeal to people of all ages.
I think my music speaks for itself - it backs me up.
I can remember just learning to walk and trying to dance like Elvis and sing like Elvis, so I was very, very passionate about music at a very young age.
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.
