I love acting, but music is so much more rewarding because it's more personal.
From Drake Bell
I think my music speaks for itself - it backs me up.
I always loved comic books when I was growing up, and Spider-Man was definitely a character I gravitated towards because I loved the story of an average teenager having super powers.
I've been able to work with some incredible voice talent, most of whom I grew up hearing in my favorite cartoons.
I was scrolling through my Twitter feed one day, and somebody had tweeted me a picture of Justin Bieber that had been Photoshopped with makeup or something. And I thought it was funny and so I hit retweet - I just retweeted a tweet - and all of a sudden, the remarks were coming in.
My fans are all pretty cool, you know; I've never really seen anybody fighting on Twitter, no death threats, no harsh language, no gay slurs, nothing like that.
I'm very close with my fans. I'm very involved with my fans, so I've seen the influence that I can have on a child or on the mind of somebody.
We're going to be human, and we are going to make mistakes, but you really should understand the power that you have and embrace it in a positive way.
I have met so many of my idols - like Ray Charles, Brian Setzer - all these cats that are legendary musicians. If they had said to me, 'Hey man, I'm busy,' it would have crushed my soul.
Music and acting kind of all goes together.
