Music was always the distraction so it was the obvious choice to pursue. My dad always said to find a job I love to do that way it wouldn't feel like a job. So I did that.

Without my dad I wouldn't be here.

My dad used to say 'You wouldn't worry so much about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did.

I've told Billy if I ever caught him cheating I wouldn't kill him because I love his children and they need a dad. But I would beat him up. I know where all of his sports injuries are.

My father wouldn't get us a TV he wouldn't allow a TV in the house.

I know that if I'd had to go and take an exam for acting I wouldn't have got anywhere. You don't take exams for acting you take your courage.

Never undertake anything for which you wouldn't have the courage to ask the blessings of heaven.

In the old days a TV sync was perceived as not so cool or whittling away at your indie cred. Now it's seen as much more of an opportunity than a sellout as a way to find fans who wouldn't have ordinarily come across their genre of music.

I wouldn't compare myself to any past Idol contestant because I don't feel like I am like any of them. Maybe stories are cool but my story is different from most people's story. I don't like to compare myself to other people I like to just be me.

I would think flying would be pretty cool. You would be able to fly away from all your enemies and get where you're going much faster. But being invisible? You probably wouldn't use that for the good of man.
