I grew up a wrestler; for a long time in Oklahoma I was a wrestler.

I got my first acting role because I was a singer.

I owe my whole acting career to the fact that I'm a singer. I went out to Los Angeles and auditioned for a TV show called 'Fame L.A.' The original role was for a comedian, but they said I wasn't very funny, so they asked me, 'What else can you do?' So I played a singer.

When you're playing country music, you have to tell the truth.

I have long hair because I'm American Indian. I'm an Oklahoma boy, and I'm very proud of my heritage.

When I'm writing songs, I write visually. When I'm writing the words down and I listen to the melody and the lyrics, I start seeing the video form. And if I can get through a song and from the beginning to the end have the whole video in my mind, I think that's a great song.
