In the past, I've allowed myself to record songs that I wish I had not, but agreed to for one reason or another.

I haven't always made all of the right decisions from a career perspective, but things worked out in the end.

Back when I first started with Scandal, I felt like I had to carry a lot of the weight because it was up to me to sell those songs.

When I was a kid, those were carefree days without much pressure.

I've dealt with a lot of guns over my career, so I'm getting better and better with firearms.

When I look at my own career, growing up, I was doing really well at age 11, but it was kind of isolating because back then, people weren't hanging out with me. My mom was always there. She had my back and was like, 'You keep focused. You gotta keep focused.' And I think those kinds of lessons were hard.

I think that among my friends I'm known as being a hard worker; I think if you want to be an actor, there can't be any compromise. You have to work all day, every day. It's not a 9-5 job. There's always something to learn.

I'm the only man in the world that has made a career with one word: 'Grrrrreeeat!'
