I'm not done with acting forever. I'm very grateful for what my acting has brought me. But you only get one life, and you want to do what you enjoy most, and that's what I'm doing now.
I've been playing music since I was 7 years old, some 30 years now, and acting for 20. I wanted to make a record and even if I only make one I want to make the best record I can. If they (the fans) like the movies and the TV shows I've been picking, I've got a pretty good feeling they're going to like the music that I'm choosing to make.
I really take acting seriously.
Acting may be how I've made my living, but music has always been my passion.
I'm getting out of acting.
I actually got hurt in a steel factory in 1985 and so that changed my life. I went to a junior college and that's where I discovered acting.
In Hollywood if you're good looking, tall, have okay teeth and nice skin, the odds of being successful are great. If you're short and fat, it's a different story. But as long as you look like a leading man type, half your job is done already.
I know people came out to see how bad we were. Then we win them over, and they stick around.
The new branch office will be completed by the end of this month or early next month. This has been about a nine-month process.
I hung out at Uncle Phil's Club Madrid nightspot where my mother was a waitress and my grandmother sold hot dogs and sauerkraut. I got to go backstage at the Jamboree and watch the show and then visit with musicians who stopped by the club later.
I'm not sure. I like to have funny answers for that or avoid the question but I'm tired of trying to be funny with that one.
After I get comfortable, I kind of forget that we're even doing an interview and I say whatever comes to the mind.
It's pretty much all I've listened to since then.
(But) I think I'm a better singer and guitar player than actor.
