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 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 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 used to go to San Diego all the time to hang out. My cousin played for the San Diego Padres, and my brother lives down there. I love going to the zoo and walking around Old Town.
Play every day. I don't know. I'm not sure what kind of advice I would give. You just have to do it every second that you can.
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.
I really, really love what I do, and there's nothing I love more than getting on stage and playing for an audience or working on a part, getting in front of the camera, and meeting all the cool people I get to meet, and going all the cool places I get to go.
I had the opportunity to do a movie with Roger Daltrey of The Who. In the movie, I played a guitar student. Since I had to learn how to play somewhat for the movie, I was introduced to the guitar.
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'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.
