I don't know if I could write songs if it wasn't for the female race, to be honest with you.

You win the fight by fighting.

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

The very first show I did was 'Fame L.A.' Everyone had talent it was either dancing or acting or something like that. I was a singer, so I got my first role.

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

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.

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.
