Fame introduced me to a world of instant gratification and decadence I hadn't seen before.

When you release endorphins, you just feel good.

I'm estranged from my father and that relationship, as a young man, is incredibly important. It's probably responsible for the man I've become.

I didnt really watch Dallas growing up, as I was a bit young and into other things, like sports.

I've definitely seen that Texas is certainly a right-wing area politically. I think if you talk to the average Texan, some people may still think that alternative energy is some sort of hippie mumbo-jumbo, you know. I think there's still a strong movement to continue to drill and continue to find these other sources of oil within the country.

I sing a bit and play guitar.

I had a relatively tumultuous childhood.
