Kids are pretty brutal.

I went to a public high school that had a very small graduating class of 156 students. I lived a relatively normal childhood until I turned probably around 16. Things started to take off career-wise.

I'm in the gym pretty much every day. I've been very strict about my diet during shooting. It all helps me bring as much authenticity to the role as I can.

The first record I ever listened to was Elvis Presley, and I remember thinking, 'Man this guy is cool!' The swagger he had really helped my confidence, because he really made me think that a white boy could make music like this.

I used to have six left feet. Now I only have one and a half left feet.

I'd love to direct, I'd love to produce. I'd love to learn all about it, and being around it all the time certainly helps.

I want to keep everyone happy but at the same time I also have to be confident with what I'm putting out and be secure with it.
