Music is therapy for me. It's my outlet for every negative thing I've ever been through. It lets me turn something bad into something beautiful.
My music will go on forever. Maybe it's a fool say that, but when me know facts me can say facts. My music will go on forever.
To me, all writing is like music. And especially dialogue. I studied music in college; that is what I wanted to be, a composer. Acting got me sidetracked.
Music inspires me and puts me in the right mood, but to actually listen to it when I write - I find it gets in the way.
Music has its own depths, and I let it take me where it takes me, even if it means stripping all my clothes off.
I'm very fond of classical music, especially Mozart. I find it relaxes me and helps me concentrate.
I loved the Brazilian music I played. But this is finally me. For the first time I think it's really me.
Music is about people for me. It's not about sounds. It's about people; it's about putting people into challenging situations. And for me, challenges are opportunities.
I had piano lessons at five and started guitar at ten, but although music and acting was always around me, my parents never pressured me into it.
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.
Music gave me a sense that I was worthwhile and that I had something of value to offer the world even though everybody was telling me that I didn't.
I'm a big hip-hop fan since being a kid. It was the first music that spoke to me and made me feel like, 'Yeah.'
I think, as far as branching out with acting, it would take something really right on the mark to distract me from music, because music is everything to me.
My doctor gave me six months to live, but when I couldn't pay the bill he gave me six months more.
My mom has always been kind of my backbone. She keeps me strong. She is a mother, a friend. She is really everything to me.
My mom really inspired me. She has always taught me it's not about us, it's about what we can give back.
Tennis was always there for me, which was lucky. I would go play baseball, basketball, football, hang with my brother, do whatever, and at the end of the day I'd come back and say, 'Hey, Mom, would you hit 15 minutes worth of balls with me?'
My mom took all of my behavior personally. Everything I did, she thought it was an act of rebellion against her. But it was just me being me.
There are many things that keep me from getting married. But there will be a time when marriage makes sense to me.
I watch a lot of movies, and I tend to be influenced by scenes that intrigue me, that make me want to use the same effects or technique.
Just to get a job is always really exciting to me. I do feel there's a lot left for me to learn about movies, the subtleties of acting.
