With hacky sack, somebody brought one to recess in sixth grade and it kind of all went downhill from there! The same with the yoyo's! One kid brought a yoyo one day and people started getting them. I just kept at it and found that I really loved it.

I started teaching myself guitar because I loved singing so much. Then one day kind of out of the blue I found I was writing a song. It just happened organically.

When I was on 'Complete Savages,' the cast sometimes found themselves running from a mob of girls. There is nothing quite like that.

I am proud of the fifth- and sixth-grade volleyball program. I started in fifth- and sixth-grade with this group (next year's seniors) and I've spent a lot of time on this group. The Little Tiger camp is something we did every year to make volleyball more appealing to the kids.

It's not just about getting a song on the radio or appearing on television. It really is about helping people change their lives one day at a time.

It is like a locker room without the uniforms. I am working every day with young people who come from all different parts of America. Maybe they never met someone who is openly gay. Just by existing, I'm educating people and hopefully changing minds.
