I'm a songwriter, principally, and I was real excited that people liked my songs, but you get a bit of an ego about it.
They're songs I honestly wish I'd written. I had a huge list of songs but wanted to keep the album a little bit more on the moody side.
It's a big number, but I'm OK with it, ... I went through my midlife crisis at about 38 and 39, so I'm over that.
Thirty, 40 times a day I must get questions when I'm on the road about General Hospital or Noah Drake. It's constant, ... It amazes me that it's still so prevalent in the fans' minds.
There were times when I've not wanted to be in my own skin, and that's a very scary feeling.
Probably General Hospital had more to do with me getting known physically than MTV did,
I can wade into an audience now and not lose a limb, so that's great,
I'd say that after my father passed my writing changed, it went deeper. Most would say 'matured' but I don't think I'd use that word in relation to my progress. I think 'change' is a little more accurate.
I am a bit more of a whore with my acting than I am with my music. I am not a whore with my music.
Young female voices are the loudest voices of all with the fans.
You can tell when someone has had a facelift and I haven't had a facelift, and I look like I haven't had a facelift.
I get inspired at different times and in different ways.
I would have been an Egyptologist if I had had the schooling.
I'll watch any show on the History Channel.
