I was a pretty insecure kid, didn't have a lot of friends, and was picked on a lot, and music gave me confidence. ↗

It's all kind of a big illusion: the white picket fence and the perfect marriage and the kids. Check that box off, check that box off, and move forward. ↗

The reason I haven't had kids yet is because I was so focused on my acting career, hoping I could get something to break. ↗

I'm the guy who wrote The Authority Song. Did they think I was kidding? Did they think it was only a song to entertain? ↗

I had no expectations about fatherhood, really, but it's definitely a journey I'm glad to be taking. Number one, it's a great learning experience. When my mother told me it's a 24/7 job, she wasn't kidding. ↗

It was a lot of fun being a child actress. It suited me. I don't think it suits everybody, but I was in it because I had a passion, not because my parents wanted me to make money. If other kids want to do it, and they really like acting, go for it. ↗

I've always really just liked football, and I've always devoted a lot of time to it. When I was a kid, my friends would call me to go out with them, but I would stay home because I had practice the next day. I like going out, but you have to know when you can and when you can't. ↗
