I've been writing songs since I was 14 years old, and that's my true love.
I get inspired at different times and in different ways.
You always want to feel you're not the only one going through something unpleasant.
I know a lot of actors who started out as musicians and have very successful careers as actors, but most people don't know them as musicians.
I learned to read and write and socialize in school, and that's pretty much it.
I don't want to mix the identities. Noah Drake isn't Rick Springfield.
I am a closet toy freak. I started chasing after some things as far as Star Wars toys - some very rare stuff.
Every actor wants to break out of the box that they put you in and that's where I'm heading, out of the box as fast as I can.
I don't know any musician, successful or otherwise, that got in it to make money. Or writer, for that matter. You get into it because you love it.
She's loving him with that body, I just know it.
Everything looks better with my eyes closed.
Residuals from Australia, from the Mission Magic show, saved my butt. So there is a reason for everything.
There weren't a lot of girl singers around. Paul McCartney and John Lennon were the guys I looked up to.
There will always be rock stars, but I don't know how much depth and longevity they'll have.
