For a long time I have compared cinema to music, I think cinema has a lot to do with the rhythm of music.
I do play the guitar, but I do it for fun. And I am terrible at writing music as well. I have tried and failed, horribly.
But I've been freestyling and messing around with rhyming since I was 13. That's when I really started listening to hip-hop music.
What I loved about country music when I was a kid was the Grand Ole Opry, was 'Hee Haw,' was 360 degrees of entertainment.
You know, I had the music baskets and the writing basket. And I had the acting. And those eggs just hatched first, and the others were slow to incubate.
In my day-to-day, I do a bit of yoga, I go biking, I read, I watch shows, I go to music concerts.
I had this exceptional classical music voice. If I'd followed a true path for my talent, I would have ended up being an opera singer.
I have quite an eclectic taste in music. I like Angus & Julia Stone; they are an Australian brother/sister duo. I like Adele. She is phenomenal.
Julie Andrews is so iconic, and I grew up watching 'The Sound of Music' - it's every girl's dream to play Maria, in a way, I think. That music!
You don't see a lot of black rock stars. The music industry tends to be segregated stylistically. It's hard for a black artist to cross over to rock music.
Most people have a passive relationship with music and clothes, with culture. But music was my first contact with anything creative. Music is it, as far as I'm concerned.
I feel 'Britannia High' is aimed at an older audience than 'High School Musical.' 'Britannia High' is more of a serious drama, with the music and dance on top.
Acting had been a hobby that turned into a career, the directing was a hobby that turned into a career and music just really allowed me to find another way to express myself.
I got a man cave. I play my music loud. I bought big speakers because I need to hear music loud.
I'll tell you what I would do in a shot if I could. I would sing in the barbershop quartet in The Music Man.
I've never been much of a guitarist. I mean, I've played forever, but I was always more of a rhythm kind of guy. I don't read music.
I'm not musically inclined. It blows my mind that people can write music. I don't have that talent; I look up to the people that do.
I hate restaurants that play music. You come out for a quiet meal, and you're supposed to put up with all this booming. Why? It's madness!
Listening to hard rock on the subway doesn't work for me, especially modern hard rock. Driving in L.A. helped me to understand the appeal of that music.
I've always liked country music. It's a certain aspect of America that goes back to the British Isles and the influence is very native to America.
I was able to do a lot of music on 'SCTV,' and I was really lucky to do a musical; I got to sing the part of Seymour in 'Little Shop of Horrors.'
