I mostly listen to things that are so different because there's something so intriguing about trying to understand where someone is coming from.
If I could play Jean Valjean, I think that would be the pinnacle.
There was a kid that used to pick on me... he used to drop my food and beat me up in little corners. Nothing serious, but tease me. I remember knocking his food out of his hand one time when he in the middle of explaining something to his friends, and they all laughed, so I thought that was pretty nice. 'Well, there you go buddy.'
When we first moved to California from Las Vegas, we got into surfing. We figured we should do something to get in shape, but we hate working out. Surfing is definitely a work out.
There's so much music from Led Zeppelin that I think I overlooked when I was a kid because I didn't understand it, so now to revisit it at an older age, I have a deeper appreciation for it.
I used to watch the Broadway 'Les Miz' and study it.
Luckily, my wife is amazing. She's one of the few people in my life I'm completely honest with. I've told her everything about my past. She knows me inside and out. There's no secrets at all.
All through my senior year, luckily, I didn't have too many hard classes, just a lot of electives. I was able to spend most of my time at the practice space.
I'm always creating. Whether I'm writing a lyric or making a beat, every day I'm doing something.
I've never considered myself a lyricist, but I have stuff to say.
I was a maniac as a teenager; I'm not going to sugarcoat it. I was crazy.
My capacity for wanting to create has never faltered. If anything, it's gained momentum.
Hip hop is doing the new rock thing; there are no rules. They can do anything, really. And that's inspiring.
I like surprising myself. I don't want to do the norm, do what I'm always known to do, write how I like to write.
I thought that the older I got, that partying would change - and it has - in the way that now I know how to party.
I've just gotten better at partying. I haven't stopped or slowed down by any means. If anything, it's increased. But if anything, it's just more fun now.
I've always been that person: If it gets into my head, I've got to do it until I get it perfect - a perfectionist's attitude.
What I love is getting polarized opinions.
There's always nerves when you're releasing something.
I fell into music, but I just needed to find the right moment to jump into acting.
