I love the atmosphere at the mall - everything about Christmas. I don't think anything specific gets me in the holiday spirit except for the holidays themselves.
Drake Bell
Ariana Grande is a billionaire before she's been an artist. You have to work to be able to appreciate what you have... what work did she ever have to do in her life?
I'm on stage where Rivers Cuomo from Weezer was standing? It's kind of a mind trip.
I really like Caravan Palace's electro swing stuff. They incorporate the electronic, but when you see them live, they're all on stage playing live music. They're all playing their instruments. They drop these beats with the DJs that are so incredible.
Dealing with sketch comedy and buddy teams like Abbott and Costello, Bob Hope and Bing Crosby - I just loved buddy comedies.
I was raised on Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly and discovered the Stray Cats when I was 11 or 12 years old.
My favorite sport is baseball; my cousin is pitcher Heath Bell.
Rufus Wainwright is my go-to for any kind of emotion. He's got songs for all of it.
I don't eat sushi, but I eat cooked meat.
I'm all about unity and loving your neighbor... If somebody told me when I was growing up that the music I was listening to was stupid, and I listened to them, I wouldn't be where I am today.
I'm totally the 'decorate early, start listening to Christmas songs super early' guy. I've just always been that way.
Leslie Nielsen was my favorite growing up; getting to work with him was amazing.
I've been to a lot of places while touring, but I'd have to say Switzerland was my favorite.
If I catch one of my fans saying something improper, a gay slur or any derogatory term, I instantly tweet directly at them and say, 'This isn't how we do it.'
Paul McCartney would be the end all, be all. To work with Paul would just be amazing.
I grew up on oldies like the Beatles and the Beach Boys, Led Zeppelin and The Who.
I love 'Airplane,' the 'Naked Gun' films; everything the Zucker brothers have done is just awesome.
I grew up on Jerry Lewis and Abbot and Costello, the Marx Brothers.
I started playing music when I was around 10. I always wanted to be in a band, so I started out by playing drums.
I loved John Lennon. I read interviews, and whatever he said he liked, I would go and listen to them. That is what I want to do with my fans.
My dad sat me in front of the TV, and instead of putting on Nick Jr. or something, he put me in front of 'Jailhouse Rock' and all the Elvis movies.
My mom was a championship pool player.
I love Christmas. I'm totally the 'decorate early, start listening to Christmas songs super-early' guy.
When I was 5, I did a commercial for Whirlpool sitting on a tree stump eating a popsicle that dripped all over my clothes.
I just think it's so much more rewarding and important to go around the world and bring people together as opposed to pushing people away.
The fans are especially amazing in Mexico. You look out your window, and there are fans that stay out there all night long.
I hope my fans will grow with me. I want to be like Michael Jackson: 5-year-olds love his music, and 75-year-olds love his music.
I love 'Drake and Josh.' It's supposed to have a demographic of ages 9-14, but really, it's 9-84. There is no demographic.
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.
I can remember just learning to walk and trying to dance like Elvis and sing like Elvis, so I was very, very passionate about music at a very young age.
I would rather be on stage playing to 25 people with a band I love and the music I love than learning dance moves I don't want to do for 25,000 people.
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.
I started playing the guitar and singing at about 11 or 12.
I wake up in the morning, walk downstairs, and just bang on the piano and write about what's going on in the world around me.
I think my music speaks for itself - it backs me up.
My first guitar was a Gretsch 6120, and I just loved listening to artists like Elvis, Chuck Berry and Stray Cats.
Artists like Justin Bieber or Lady Gaga have more sway over popular minds than a politician.
My dream has been to have my rock band behind me, play live, and entertain.
The best place for me is in my car, listening to my stereo. I am 'Mr. Karaoke Guy' in the car, completely. I just go with it and don't care what anyone else thinks - I'm singing, man!
I would say that I'm more than just a teeny-bopper artist... that my music can appeal to people of all ages.
I'm nervous the first few songs, and then I'm like, 'I got this audience. I'm ready!'
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.
'Drake and Josh' was strictly nine to five. We'd go in and know what we were doing, and 'Superhero Movie' was just nuttiness every day because there's a joke every ten seconds.
If you look back to a picture of me when I was 12 years old, you will probably see me in a leather jacket trying to look like Elvis!
I like to get up early in the morning and run.
I like to play music and sleep. But most of all, I love to work... I don't really play sports, so I like to spend my time playing guitar or piano.
With a good melody... music gets me through everything.
I am 'Mr. Karaoke Guy' in the car completely. I just go with it and don't care what anyone else thinks - I'm singing, man!
There's just a lot of really young, entitled people. I don't think a lot of these young people have to work very hard. They're found on YouTube and, boom, thrown into the studio, so they think they can get anything they want.
I fell in love with '50s hot-rod, pinup-girl culture.
