"Modeling is great because I don't have lines to memorize. But I find acting much more challenging - which is a good thing!"

"I still call Texas home. It is where I spent most of my life growing up."

"I learned American Sign Language in college and seemed to pick it up rather quickly. I really love to sign and wish that I had more friends to sign with."

"I was approached in Texas to be a model a few times. One of my first jobs was the cover of a CD."

"I love cars, but I love bikes more."

"One time, I was posing on a car for a calendar shoot. I was doused with oil and literally slid off the car, bikini, heels and all!"

"I love comics and have since I was a kid. That is what gave me the idea to create my own."

"Whatever your political affiliation may be, whether you are a conservative or liberal, we should all be bound by the belief that we need to support the troops."

"I've never been a waitress, hostess, bartender or any of the typical side jobs you'd expect an actor to have. This is partly because I've always been afraid of dropping plates on customer's heads."

"The horror genre is my personal favorite. But then again, I was the kid who read coroner books for fun."

"In my humble opinion, preserving racial purity isn't a worthwhile goal. You should be able to date whomever, whenever, wherever without the threat of a backlash."

"Don't ever take a dramatic lesson. They will try to put your voice in a dinner jacket, and people like their hominy and grits in everyday clothes."

"An actor can change himself to fit a part, whereas a personality has to change the part to fit himself. The personality has to say it his own way."

"People who have never dealt with depression think it's just being sad or being in a bad mood. That's not what depression is for me; it's falling into a state of grayness and numbness."

"Music speaks to people in a way that breaks down boundaries that words and actions sometimes can't."

"Your life is always worth living."

"It does not mean you're broken to have depression and anxiety. I would encourage you to speak out. Don't hold it inside. Talk to friends. Talk to parents. If it's available, go to a therapist."

"I always would dream of making music videos. Whenever I make music, I always have a visual in my mind. I always see things."

"There was nothing more I wanted to do than to see my dad react well to my music. I still do. I send him my demos all the time."

"I always like to leave art and music open to interpretation."

"I'm about as privileged as you can get. I'm a white, male, heterosexual front man of a rock band."

"LoveLoud isn't just for the youth, but also their families and friends. They can attend and become educated on how to truly love and accept our LGBTQ youth."

"To be gay is beautiful and right and perfect; to tell someone they need to change their innermost being is setting up someone for an unhealthy life and unhealthy foundation."

"I've spent a lifetime trying not to offend people - that's one thing that Mormons are really good at is smiling and shaking your hand and doing everything they can to not offend you. And I have gotten to this point in life where I don't want to live that way anymore."

"There is always a mix of apprehension and excitement before you try songs out on a new audience."

"I do feel a need as a Mormon to speak out against things that are hurting people."

"There's nothing wrong or weak about seeking a therapist. I have a therapist."

"There's not a day that goes by that I don't get an email from someone who is angry with me and tells me they're not going to let their kid listen to Imagine Dragons anymore."

"I was a little rebellious growing up."

"I've followed Tegan and Sara's music for quite a while, and I've been a fan of them and what they do and what they stand for. We've run into each other at one or two festivals over the years, and I kind of fanned out on them."
