Quotes

I grew up half the time in a small town called Mart, Texas, and half the,time in L. A.

because I was acting. My high school was crazy about,football.

I sing a little bit. I got a guitar for my 16th birthday.

I was 3 and a half, and there was an open call for a Coca-Cola commercial. We were living around Dallas, and my mom took me. I think they were calling for 16-year-olds that could ride horses and swing a rope, and for whatever reason, my mom took me up there when I was 3. But I always had a rope, and I was a little cowboy at that age.

I sing a little bit. I got a guitar for my 16th birthday. .
