I get up every day and work, regardless of if I have a job or not.

I get paid to lie to people as an actor. Country music is the one area that I don't lie. I 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.

In the entertainment business, the biggest gift you could ever get is not an Oscar, it's not a Grammy, it's longevity.

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.

Football is my base; that's where I learned to be tough. I was a strong safety, and that's what I do: I hit people. The mentality is football, the wrestling is precision.

I grew up with action movies in my head.
