I'm not sure. I like to have funny answers for that or avoid the question but I'm tired of trying to be funny with that one.
I'm not done with acting forever. I'm very grateful for what my acting has brought me. But you only get one life, and you want to do what you enjoy most, and that's what I'm doing now.
I hung out at Uncle Phil's Club Madrid nightspot where my mother was a waitress and my grandmother sold hot dogs and sauerkraut. I got to go backstage at the Jamboree and watch the show and then visit with musicians who stopped by the club later.
In Hollywood if you're good looking, tall, have okay teeth and nice skin, the odds of being successful are great. If you're short and fat, it's a different story. But as long as you look like a leading man type, half your job is done already.
I know people came out to see how bad we were. Then we win them over, and they stick around.
I've been playing music since I was 7 years old, some 30 years now, and acting for 20. I wanted to make a record and even if I only make one I want to make the best record I can. If they (the fans) like the movies and the TV shows I've been picking, I've got a pretty good feeling they're going to like the music that I'm choosing to make.
After I get comfortable, I kind of forget that we're even doing an interview and I say whatever comes to the mind.
It's pretty much all I've listened to since then.
When I was starting out, I didn't know what the hell I was doing and my person who was helping me out, I didn't even have an agent, got me five or six big auditions for leads in movies in 1986 that I had no business auditioning for. I think I ran out of three of them before I'd even finished.
I'm sick of playing romantic leads.
I really take acting seriously.
I thought if I wanted people to take me seriously, I needed to act serious and not reveal too much of my private life so people could seriously accept me in different things.
I'd never even seen a play by the time I was 24 years old.
