My idol when I was growing up was Michael Jordan the basketball player because of his work ethic rather than his talent and because of what he went through to be as good as he was.

I grew up in Tennessee, and if you didn't play football, you were a sissy. I got slurs all the time because I was in music and art...I was an outcast in a lot of ways...but everything that you get picked on for or you feel makes you weird is essentially what's going to make you sexy as an adult.

I'm completely removed from any hype that comes my way.

I believe in things I can count on, like beer and ESPN and my grandmother's pecan pie.

My step-dad is probably the greatest man I've ever known. The best advice I've ever been given was when he told me to enjoy my life because one day I'm not going to be as agile as I am now.

My favorite thing in the world was to make people sing - until I made people laugh. Then that became my favorite thing in the world.

I believe people can move things with their minds.
