I listen to Emmylou Harris. She's my favorite. I don't know why, but I just feel more creative with her playing.
I don't think Will does get upstaged because his reaction is always funnier than what is actually happening. That is also the reason Tommy is funnier than Will.
Normally, you go into the recording studio, make a record and then take it on the road and you think... wow... I could have done THIS to it, or something.
We weren't afraid to mix some crazy styles into the standard rockabilly look. We also took a lot of different musical influences that were part of that era.
Robert Plant is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, never mind rock star. He's so down to earth.
But then again in the East Coast, I think, Tupac, inspired everybody on the East Coast, everybody down south, everybody in the West Coast you know what sayin'.
In the rural South, 'Bubba' is like how people say 'dude' in California. It's a name for a regular Southern man. I know a Chinese Bubba, a black Bubba.
To me, there is nothing better than me going into the studio with a live band and hearing those violins and that echo and that sound. I mean I loved it.
If I'd been offered 'Spider-Man,' I probably would have done it. I don't think it's bad to go and do those things.
The only genre I have any problem with is musicals, but that's just my own tastes it's nothing to do with the films.

I had no idea I could make it this far. And the fact that they told me I made it this far and that America is going to vote for me, I freaked out.
My dream was always to win in the Olympic Games, but I never set that next goal, and I have realised now I need to set another goal.
The big one I missed out on was 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.' MGM wanted me for it, and Warner Bros. wouldn't give me permission to do it.
My first instrument was the piano; I played in the church, and before that I sang in church. I didn't learn the guitar until I was 24 years old.
All you have to know is mathematically how many times to scratch it and when to let it go - when certain things will enhance the record you're listening to.
Do not let any record company disturb your creative flow. You are not writing for the record company. You're writing for the public.
For instance, if you're playing a record with drums - horns would sound nice to enhance it so you get a record with horns and slip it in at certain times.
I think what's happening here is, there's a group or maybe one person who is saying this is gonna be the definition and this is what we want to get the kids to do now.
Normal kids in their teens want to go and date girls and do mischievous things, your hormones are jumping around, but I stayed in my bedroom in search of something.
