I played guitar when I was young and never really considered it as a way to make a living.

I had no aspirations to be a musician, but I picked up a guitar for two seconds and haven't put it down since.

I played the guitar and thought that was what I was going to do as a career. I still record music that is played in my restaurants.

I didn't really learn how to play guitar until I was in college.

When I graduated college, I had a fairly successful weekly club gig and was buying more studio equipment and writing my own music. I realized I didn't want to work.

I've been working since I was a child. I worked cutting lawns, delivering newspapers; I was a telephone salesperson; I was a guitar repairman.

I played guitar in a band from when I was about 20 for three years. Then I sang a little. Then I started getting really busy as an actor and forgot about it.

There happened to be guitar classes at the college, and there was a guitar teacher there with whom I used to play. In addition, I also would go out into country schools and teach little kids basic guitar and singing a few times a week.

I was never chasing to make a career out of it, but every day after school, I'd go to my keyboard and play for four hours and make up songs. It was a constant part of my life.
