I'm all about unity and loving your neighbor... If somebody told me when I was growing up that the music I was listening to was stupid, and I listened to them, I wouldn't be where I am today.
I would say that I'm more than just a teeny-bopper artist... that my music can appeal to people of all ages.
Music and acting kind of all goes together.
I started playing music when I was around 10. I always wanted to be in a band, so I started out by playing drums.
I love acting, but music is so much more rewarding because it's more personal.
I grew up on old music. I'm just not really into the new stuff.
I would rather be on stage playing to 25 people with a band I love and the music I love than learning dance moves I don't want to do for 25,000 people.
I think my music speaks for itself - it backs me up.
Everyone is going to love it. It's not just a kid movie. It has romance between Helen and Frank, comedy from the younger kids, a love triangle between the teenagers. It's very broad.
Paul McCartney would be the end all, be all. To work with Paul would just be amazing.
'Drake and Josh' was strictly nine to five. We'd go in and know what we were doing, and 'Superhero Movie' was just nuttiness every day because there's a joke every ten seconds.
I had the opportunity to do a movie with Roger Daltrey of The Who. In the movie, I played a guitar student. Since I had to learn how to play somewhat for the movie, I was introduced to the guitar.
If I catch one of my fans saying something improper, a gay slur or any derogatory term, I instantly tweet directly at them and say, 'This isn't how we do it.'
My first guitar was a Gretsch 6120, and I just loved listening to artists like Elvis, Chuck Berry and Stray Cats.
