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

My favorite actor is Steve McQueen, and he did his own stunts.

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

For the first five years of music and first five years of acting, I don't remember it because I was running to where I was going. Finally I was like, 'Man, I missed everything.' So I just stopped, and I started looking around.

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

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.
