I know people came out to see how bad we were. Then we win them over, and they stick around.
I thought if I wanted people to take me seriously, I needed to act serious and not reveal too much of my private life so people could seriously accept me in different things.
I'm not really that private of a person. I live in a small town and I'm very neighborly. I go out to dinner just about four nights a week and sit and talk to people. I'm not that private, so it's not that strange to do an interview and try to share a little bit of your life.
Now that people know who I am, I get offered plays here and there. It was so much easier to do it when nobody knew who I was. I can't even imagine that somebody would come and pay money just to come and see me now.
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.
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'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 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.
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.
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.
Gap is a quality team. Right now, they're playing as well as anybody. We're going to need another strong effort.
