I kicked the door open, and I'm gonna hold my leg in there. I'm keeping the door open for all these amazing female singer-songwriters that are coming out.

Instead of going to college, I spent my time out on the road learning how to be a better musician.

I really feel every word to every song a lot more than I have in the past.

I'm really fortunate because, in my career, I haven't had to deal with anybody trying to make me something I'm not.

Today, smartphones, tablets, and the Internet have allowed people to conduct business from anywhere at any time. But as we continue to progress, many families find it harder to balance the ever-increasing demands of their work with their desire to care for and be with their family.

I was pursuing the arts with theater in school, and I was doing after-school activities, but not in any real movement towards a professional career.

My faith has really been the biggest asset of my career. It has grounded me and let me focus on what's important.

I worked with Jackie Chan for a long time, and seeing how much pain he's in, I realized that that might not be a sustainable career for me. So I started to develop my career as a dramatic actor rather than as an action actor.
