But I also live to perform and I've been performing my whole life, whether it's been in sports or you know in band or with my singing.
People don't have to like or support you. So you always have to say thank you.
And I just pray that god gives me longevity in the music industry.
Some find it in their lovers eyes, who can deny the joy it brings. When you've found that special thing, you're flying without wings.
I feel like my unwillingness to look for healthy options now is the reason why I have put my weight back on. … Everybody knows how to diet, everybody has had their shares of ups and downs of yo-yo diets, but the hardest thing is to learn really how to make this a lifestyle that you can sustain for the rest of your life.
You know, I played football, I was offensive tackle in college.
I just never let anything bother me, man. I know myself really well. Nobody's opinion of me can shake my opinion of myself.
I like doing theaters. I like being up close and personal with the fans. It's really cool.
You have to learn that if you start making sure you feel good, everything will be okay.
We became somewhat household names really quickly, within a matter of - what? - three, four months. So it's hard to get used to, and it's really sometimes hard to understand.

You can be confident and secure and know that you do a good job at what you do. But you don't know to be arrogant about it.
I'm not in the best shape, but I want to prove to myself I can do something that seems insurmountable and inspire others by showing them no matter where they are in their fitness goals, they can do it, too.
