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.

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

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.

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