And for the past 10 years I've been in a real commercial setting where people are all about numbers, they're all about that bottom line. So it's nice to step out of that and hang out with a bunch of people who play music just because they love it, as you can imagine.
To be honest, I never really considered myself to be too much of an actress. So, whenever I get the chance to do music, I'm always, like, just in it. It's like, 'Oh my God, I finally get to do this. I'm so happy.'
When I did 'Frankenstein,' the record company said, 'Now you can do 'Dracula' and 'Wolf Man' and we'll call the whole thing Monster Rock!' and I said, 'No, that's not going to happen, I'm not going to do that.' I kind of enjoy defying categorization. I love music in and of itself. I love the beauty of harmony and rhythm.
I've been playing concerts for many years, and it's still as exciting as it was the first time. I hope that shows when I'm performing.
I'm not oriented by money, to be honest. Everybody thinks we're in the music business for money all of the time. But that's not true for me.
I've never done this from a standpoint of, 'I want to be famous.' I sing because I love singing. I perform because I love performing.
Everyone has their own path in life, no matter if it's being a celebrity or a singer. Quite frankly, I didn't move to Nashville and tell myself I wanted to be a singer because I wanted to be a celebrity or I wanted to be somebody that people admired. I wasn't about that. I just loved music.
I didn't start making music in order to be famous.
It's a great thing not trying to make music for a label but just for the love of music again.
In the beginning of my career, I wanted to be chased by girls more than anything - that's why I got the guitar. By the time we were in ABBA, the music was the only important thing.
When I started DJ'ing, it was no big thing. There was no money in DJ'ing, and you did it purely for the love of playing music.
Those who love music are gentle and honest in their tempers. I always loved music, and would not, for a great matter, be without the little skill which I possess in the art.
I've been singing most of my life. There's nothing better I could wish to be doing.
I don't need an award to inspire me to keep making music.
It is, we wanted to make a record that reflected our love of Hard-Rock music and it is sort of Metal though we don't really describe ourselves as Metal.
Music always came first. I never set out to be an actor.
I want to be in the booth any day - Sunday, Monday, Wednesday - it doesn't matter to me. I'm hooked. I love it.
I would do these performances around town at different places, and that's when I really fell in love with performing, and I knew this was something that stood me up and filled me in a way that nothing had and nothing could. I really just fell in love with it.
I have a passion for the music - not because of I wanna be in the lights or the money, but it's because it's my life. It's my heart.
I don't do this for the money, I don't do it for record sales, I don't really care about that, I just want to make beats.
My love of music has been ever-growing, and to live in Music City - I don't want to live anywhere else.
I make music not to make money but because it's in me.
Music is the first thing I didn't give up.
I think it had something to do with my love of music, especially rock music.
I've never been in this business to make money. I've always been in it to make good music.
