I try to do different roles and try to immerse myself deeply and see what they need to be that's different than the last one.

A lot of what is famous about film making are the movie stars and what is considered a movie star is a lot of great acting, but also a lot of physical beauty.

One thing I really, truly believe in is having something greater than myself to be grateful to.

I was raised in Oklahoma. I was actually born in Tulsa, but I grew up in a small town on the west side of Oklahoma called Elk City on a farm, where my dad grew up, actually.

Our natural thing to do when we break away from our parents and our family is to decide in how many ways they were wrong and bad, and the older you get you start to realize, "By 'bad' I mean 'different'" and then you get a little bit older and you think, "And by 'different' I mean 'pretty awesome but just not like me.'"

I think anything emotional adds to your acting and singing, no matter what it is that you go through. It will always add to it, never take away.

I've been singing since I was nine or ten.
