It's OK if Tim McGraw goes and does a movie, and it's OK if Justin Timberlake does a movie, but it's not OK for an actor to become a singer. I never understood that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's really hard for actors to cross over and get any respect as a singer, and if I could just keep it separate and not use my music in movies, it's cool.
If a musician wants to be an actor, everyone thinks that's pretty cool. But if an actor wants to play a song, even if they've been doing it for 40 years, that's bad news.
What actor do you really take seriously who becomes a singer? It's kind of ridiculous. I can't think of anybody.
Some people can't sing - like honestly - but they're famous anyway, and they might be famous for being an artist, which is completely different from being a singer.
Often you get wonderful singers who maybe aren't as strong as actors, or you get wonderful actors who can't sing very well.
It's no good singing if you just want to be a pop star; you've got to work at it and do it for the love for it, not because you think it will make you famous.
I'm a much better singer than actor, which doesn't really say a whole lot.
Well, the music industry is littered with actors who belatedly came to singing.
So many singers want to act, and so many actors try to sing.
Somebody might get criticized for doing some movie that totally sucks, then turn around and be incredible. Every actor goes through that, not just musicians who act.
