To me acting is a hobby and I'm inspired by it. And if I'm going to spend time doing something that I'm not really inspired to do, then why am I doing it? I don't know if that sounds sort of new agey or whatever, but it's true. I've been lucky enough to have a musical career that has gone pretty good and acting is something I have always wanted to do.

I'm a mutt as far as music is concerned, because I listen to everything.

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

If I'm not learning from something that I'm doing, then that means I've done it before. Do something different, even if it's within the same medium.

I will always come with something that's aesthetically pleasing.

In creating music you are the writer, the director, the producer, you create it from scratch. Obviously in playing a role in a film, you take guidance and put your trust into the director. You come into it and you really trust people.

True leadership is when you are willing to risk your power and voice so that all of ours can be heard.
