I come from a family of four brothers, so I like sports.

I walk in a space of gratitude. I'm so grateful to God for blessing me with an amazing family and the opportunity to do what I love.

I can tell you I have dealt with mania my whole life.

I have such a beautiful, strong family and friends, and they are like everything to me.

Although I missed home, North Carolina is a spectacular place to spend four months. Wilmington has a great downtown area. It is not too small town or too big city. The people were really welcoming and nice. The weather was lovely.

I don't have an explosive temper. People seem to think that - maybe somewhere lives the lion in my cage. But I'm actually kind of goofy.

I only wear SPF if I'm going to the beach.

I'm really into coconut oil for everything. I cook it, eat it, put it in my hair, and use it as body lotion. I put it on my face, too - day cream, night cream, whatever. I love the smell. It reminds me of the beach. I'm not particular on what brand as long as it's organic.

Sometimes I want to control things more than I'm able to.

Being an actor is like being a bass player: one of the component parts to the collective hole.

Acting is me, but music is even more me. It's everything.

I always call myself an emotionalist. I feel.

We've played everywhere since I started The Licks. We've played arenas, clubs, school cafeterias and bowling alleys. It doesn't matter where the venue is; we're gonna bring you the rock!

I experience so many feelings and emotions when I tour. It's the most amazing and also the most lonely thing you can do.

Ever since I can remember, I've always wanted to be a performer - whether it was acting or singing or whatever.

TV is wild. You just play the role you're given, and you show up and do the best that you can.

When I do a film, usually I work from my director. That's my boss. The director is interpreting the writer's vision, and we all interpret it, and they create their own vision as well.

I actually would not want the pressure of a lead in a series.

There is growth. Get out of the past.

Over time, I've loved jazz, Miles Davis and Chet Baker, then Janis and Jimi and Creedence, then classic rock.

Nobody would know it to look at me, but the movies I liked as a kid were musicals - 'All That Jazz,' 'Hair,' 'Fame,' 'Annie,' all that stuff - that's where my little youthful imagination was.

I was singing before I acted, but I was also attracted to drama, and, y'know, I got successful at that, which isn't a bad thing.

I've never been like Angelina Jolie, who at one time was spewing out this prototype Bad Girl stuff for people to consume. I've never boxed myself in that way. People can create boxes for me by all means, but it doesn't mean I'm going to step inside them.

So many actors and musicians seem to be only interested in what's expected of them, and they join the dots accordingly. I don't fit into any narrow categories as an actor or a singer.
