I'm not sure. I like to have funny answers for that or avoid the question but I'm tired of trying to be funny with that one.
I'm not really that private of a person. I live in a small town and I'm very neighborly. I go out to dinner just about four nights a week and sit and talk to people. I'm not that private, so it's not that strange to do an interview and try to share a little bit of your life.
You know, I like playing music and playing guitar, and I like to draw, so I thought I would end up just probably barely making a living, or probably having to have some other job, but being involved in one of those things that I really like to do. But that didn't work out like that.
That?s the kind of player that he is. He?s just a junior, and I?m glad he?s going to be back next year. He?s had games like that before where he?s played very, very well. When you get him out in the open court like that, he?s tough to handle.
I've been playing music since I was 7 years old, some 30 years now, and acting for 20. I wanted to make a record and even if I only make one I want to make the best record I can. If they (the fans) like the movies and the TV shows I've been picking, I've got a pretty good feeling they're going to like the music that I'm choosing to make.
I know people came out to see how bad we were. Then we win them over, and they stick around.
(But) I think I'm a better singer and guitar player than actor.
Gap is a quality team. Right now, they're playing as well as anybody. We're going to need another strong effort.
I hung out at Uncle Phil's Club Madrid nightspot where my mother was a waitress and my grandmother sold hot dogs and sauerkraut. I got to go backstage at the Jamboree and watch the show and then visit with musicians who stopped by the club later.
It's pretty much all I've listened to since then.
The new branch office will be completed by the end of this month or early next month. This has been about a nine-month process.
I'm sick of playing romantic leads.
I really take acting seriously.
I'd never even seen a play by the time I was 24 years old.
