I knew what I wanted to be, but I didn't know exactly how to get there. I thought you move to Nashville, you sing downtown, and someone discovers you, and you become a country music star. I had no idea.

I've been wanting to go into music ever since I can remember. I mean even before I became an actor. I just thought it would be a tough field to break into, so I became an actor instead.

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've always wanted to be a singer and an actor. I will continue to concentrate on both because I love both.

I wanted to live in Nashville. I wanted to sing country.

Being an actor is a much more structured life than being a musician.

For years, I've thought about a project or a way where I could do acting and music together, and I never really thought that would happen. Then 'Nashville' came along, and it was like a dream come true to marry both of those worlds.

Wanting to be an actor and wanting to be famous are different.

All I knew when I moved to Nashville was that I wanted to make music in whatever shape and form I could.
