A lot of people don't know that before the artist, I wanted to be a writer and producer. That's always been a love of mine. Its easy for me to do it on myself, but it's fun to create for someone else.
I'm a basketball player. That's what I do and what I love but that's just not all who I am. I'm talented in a lot of different areas.
I played in bands very very young. I painted; I did photography, all kinds of things.
Since the inception of Gym Class in 1997, every member has had another musical outlet, if not three or four.
I feel like I'm quite versatile. I want to do lots of different styles.
It's like Willie Nelson. You're an artist and you have different styles inside of you.
I started as a writer. I had the dumb act, but I made my living from writing.
People see me as Kylie the singer. It would be a dream for me to be taken seriously as an actress.
George Washington was quite a farmer. He was a farmer, Civil Engineer and gentleman. He made enough at civil engineering to indulge in both the other luxuries.
Different films, different genres show the different things I do. It's nice because it brings different groups of people to following what I'm doing. So hopefully, it kind of reiterates that I'm not just a one-trick pony as well.
I lived a pretty chaotic life. I went to England, and I moved around, and there were a lot of things that I was interested in. I wrote poetry. I took photographs. I was a musician and all sorts of things. Nothing brilliant, but I did all these different things.
I still sing, because that's my true calling. This basketball thing is only for, what, I think another year or so. And then I think I'm gonna switch over to my singing career.
I've been a musician longer than I've been an actor.
Right now the music is more of a hobby since I'm making a good living as an actress.
People don't connect the girl that sang 'Mickey' with the girl who was one of the seven original Lockers or the same girl who was in 'Easy Rider' or the same girl who choreographed David Bowie, Tina Turner, and Bette Midler tours. It's like I've led five lives.
I see myself more like a novelist or a polygamist than a musician in terms of my output.
Leadership is not just one quality, but rather a blend of many qualities; and while no one individual possesses all of the needed talents that go into leadership, each man can develop a combination to make him a leader.
When people compliment my cooking, it's like somebody telling me that they like my music. And it's great to be known for something else.
I'm an actress, and I write, and I produce stuff. I have a guitar, and I have my knitting stuff. I have a lot of things going on; I love to not ever put all my energy into one thing fully.
The hardest thing as somebody who does both is - and I'm very serious as an actor, and I consider myself very serious as a musician, engineer, music artist - is learning that it's OK to be versatile.
I was told MTV VJs have no career after MTV, and I'm like, that's never going to be me. I was always about not feeding into the negativity and proving to people that I can do more than one thing.
It's possible to have more than one interest. I've been a painter and did summer stock.
I'm a caterer, interior decorator - a lot of hobbies people don't know I do.
I've got more than one string to my bow, and I thought I'd give this one a twang.
In America they have to know just what you are-- novelist, poet, playwright... Well, I've been all of them... I think poems and novels and stories spring from the same seed. It's not like, say, playing polo and knitting.
