I love my small town, and I love going back there and supporting the community. But I could not have stayed there. No way.

I don't change. The things around me change.

I'm an actor for hire, and I go do a job.

I will never be in the stock market. It's just gambling. I'm a gambler, but I'll gamble on the practicality of things.

Aren't we taught as kids that we're beautiful because we feel beautiful and not because someone else says so? You don't look like the model on the magazine cover but you can still be beautiful, so I can't say I really want to change anything. I'm happy with the flaws I have.

You have to wait for a big star to come in and generate interest on a project, and now that has become me, which is an amazing blessing.

I was always a singer. But I was always focused on being an actor as my trade. Music I do just for me. The movie business is very difficult but the music business is just impossible.
