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.

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

I grew up with action movies in my head.

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

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

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

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.
