I've always been singing. Since day one. I started doing musical theater and you have to sing in musical theater and so that's where I got most of my training. So singing on stage, you just inevitably, when you're around other vocal artists, you get better at singing.
I can draw really well. And I like to paint. I'm a bit of an artist.
A fan sent me a letter and a $10 bill. It's a short letter - all she said was, 'Hey, since it's harder for you to go out these days without getting photographed, here $10 for a pizza.' I was like, 'Aww, she sent me money for a pizza so I could eat at home!'
I just want to make great films and be good in them. And I think that my perception of what's great in a film is constantly evolving.
There are a lot of people who can slide on talent their whole lives; they're just naturally gifted. I've never considered myself one of those people. I enjoy outworking the opposition.
I think every single girl has something different and special about her. You find one who clicks with your vibe.
You always have something to learn from people who have been through more than you. Be open and receptive to what they know.
I might not be the greatest actor, but I walk into every project willing to work hard.
I want to be a well-rounded, versatile performer.
My dogs are crazy. They're always getting into some kind of trouble... but then again, they're my most loyal friends.
I left home at 17 and I've been on the road ever since.
I think the only real knowledge I had before I went to Iowa was what I learned from 'Food Inc'. But once I got there and developed these extensive relationships with the farmers, I realized that we're basically made of corn.
It's not that I'm opposed to doing a big-budget action movie. But it has to be the right project.
There's really nothing but one audition for a Disney Channel movie that separates me from 2,000 other brown-haired, blue-eyed guys in L.A., you know?
