Honestly, when I got to Hollywood I was trying to sell my songs.

I have to be very careful about how often I drag my family to places. They need some stability in their lives.

Suddenly Star Wars came out while we were on hiatus, and we looked like the old Buck Rogers series, where they had cigarette smoke blowing out the back of the rocket ship.

But I always held my music up and protected it from compromise. So I just do it for my friends. I've written hundreds of songs, and I'm sure I have a few albums worth of songs.

I have to own something before I can say it, and I have to own it before I can sing it as well, emotionally. I only enjoy acting and singing if I am believing what I am doing.

I learned to play guitar at a young age and converted poems and stuff that I had written to songs.

Actually I have been singing since I was a kid.
