It was great growing up a nomad. To this day I still love hiking and back packing.

I’ve always been interested in leaders and rule breakers and artists and politicians.

I was very much in my own world, never the popular kid. But I had a great family, a great brother and mother.

My coolest job was when I was 12 and I was a dishwasher at the Three Pigs Bar-B-Que for $2.50 an hour. All the fleabags and stoners worked there, so that’s where I wanted to be.

I never look at myself as a closet actor wanting to make music or a closet musician wanting to act — I’m very proud to do both and I don’t put one above the other, I’m very grateful and excited by both opportunities — it’s really a unique opportunity to do both.

Professionally, I don’t necessarily have to adhere to a certain dress code. However, I think that comfort is crucial. Otherwise, you won’t be able to have fun and express yourself.

In some ways you become who you really are, if you work hard enough on who you wish to be.
