Regarding his role of River on One life to Live: It has been a learning experience unlike any other for acting. I've learned more on this show than in any acting class. It's the best acting class I could ever possibly hope for.

When asked why he named his band "One Day as a Lion": It's based on a famous quote by Marlon Brando. When he was asked about acting, he said, "I would rather spend one day as a lion than my entire existence as a lamb." I thought that was pretty poignant, and that's the basis of what an entertainer is trying to do.
