I'm a video game buff.
At a very early age I started a cartoon scrapbook, actually when I was in high school. And it became, in turn, a scrapbook of my life. And there are about 2,000 volumes.
I don't think I'm a celebrity. I'm just a guy from east Texas who loves cars and airplanes.
I've always been into toys and kits and models. I'm kind of a toy nerd.
I can really fish - I've been fishing since I was a kid.
I've been an avid collector since I was a child.
I'm a very compulsive person, so I spend most of my time drawing or writing my diary, patching things up and carving bits of wood - I've carved two of my guitars.
When I'm not singing, I'm a lot of persons: I'm a producer. I'm a badminton player. I'm a writer. I'm a movie freak. I'm a documentary maker.
It's possible to have more than one interest. I've been a painter and did summer stock.
Who can afford to do professional work for nothing? What hobbyist can put three man-years into programming, finding all bugs, documenting his product, and distributing it for free?
When I put that first Vine out, I was just doing it for fun; there was no wanting to become an artist.
I was just trying to play the game, having fun. It was a hobby for me at the time.
I like amateur things.
I think the whole definition of a geek is somebody being passionate and focused, and being proud of saying that they're passionate and focused, on a narrow range of subjects.
I don't mind the word 'dilettante.' A dilettante means someone who does what he loves.
I'm not a good collector.
A geek isn't the skinny kid with a pocket protector and acne. There can be computer geeks, video game geeks, car geeks, military geeks, and sports geeks. Being a geek just means that you're passionate about something.
I'm someone who loves watches.
I didn't take music seriously in the beginning. It just kind of a hobby to me. It was something that I love doing for fun.
I'm a dilettante. My governing word is 'curiosity.'
I love to play the guitar. I also love photography and fashion.
I don't focus on one thing. I play guitar and bass and keyboards and drums, but I never stay on anything long enough to become a specialist at it.
I had a dark room in my bedroom. I was always taking apart cameras and putting them back together. I still am a tinkerer.
It started as a hobby when I was a kid, and I'm finishing as a hobby.
Science is a hobby, and I'm really into it, but it's not my job. My job is to learn about comedy and to make people laugh. Science, for me, is probably a bit like Danny Baker's love of football or Rod Stewart's obsession with train sets.
