There are loads of amazing actors in the UK and only 2% of them are in work, which is crazy.
Maybe the best hasn’t happened yet.
I hope to always be able to relate to my fans and be in the moment with the world and the community. I think as you gain popularity it's easy to loose touch and become disconnected.
On tour I feel like it's always so go go. . . you're always just taking in and storing information and feelings and things. So for me I need time off to let all those things come out and settle.
In a perfect world, I would do 3 weeks on 3 weeks off; so that I could always take a breather and come back to music with a fresh mind.
Over the years I have realized that the mistakes and forgetfulness is what makes live shows more endearing.
If you want perfection or close to it. . . listen to the record.
Horsemanship through the history of all nations has been considered one of the highest accomplishments. You can't pass a park without seeing a statue of some old codger on a horse. It must be to his bravery, you can tell it's not to his horsemanship.
I have a really hard time connecting to music that doesn't feel like I'm somehow solving a puzzle that applies to my life.
Someone told me something that stuck with me: 'You have to envision your life, and then go backwards. ' I've been living by that motto for a while, so I see where I need to be. Now I'm just backtracking and trying to get back up there.
Hopefully I'll be the first Mexican-American going into Hillbilly Heaven.
