Christian Kane

On 'Angel' I got to work a lot with Mike Massa, who was David Boreanaz' stunt double, and Mike would let me do most of my stuff by myself. I did almost all my fight scenes by myself.

My influences are Alice in Chains and Elton John.

My favorite actor is Steve McQueen, and he did his own stunts.

As a five-year-old kid, I used to sit in front of the TV - I never missed 'Dukes of Hazzard,' not once. It was me and my dad's show.

When I'm writing songs, I write visually. When I'm writing the words down and I listen to the melody and the lyrics, I start seeing the video form. And if I can get through a song and from the beginning to the end have the whole video in my mind, I think that's a great song.

You're not going to hear me sing about being on a tractor or being married... because I don't know anything about that.

I get up every day and work, regardless of if I have a job or not.

I grew up a wrestler; for a long time in Oklahoma I was a wrestler.

The very first show I did was 'Fame L.A.' Everyone had talent... it was either dancing or acting or something like that. I was a singer, so I got my first role.

In the entertainment business, the biggest gift you could ever get is not an Oscar, it's not a Grammy, it's longevity.

Football is my base; that's where I learned to be tough. I was a strong safety, and that's what I do: I hit people. The mentality is football, the wrestling is precision.

I went to Norman High then I walked across the street after that and went to college. That's my home town, that's where I'm from. Physically I'm a Texan, but I'm an Oklahoman.

Joss Whedon who created 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer,' 'Angel,' and all that... he is a genius.

I went to L.A. to be Brad Pitt; now I just want to be Gene Hackman. I came to Nashville to be Kenny Chesney. I'd be very fortunate to be George Strait.

Jimmy Fallon is one of the funniest son of a guns I've ever seen.

I wrote 'Happy Man' with a couple of boys of mine. I have been writing in Nashville for a long time. Of course I was writing songs back in Oklahoma when I was a kid.

Kane is a band I formed with my best friend Steve Carlson. We just got together and started playing guitar. He was playing some old school rock and roll, and we got together and thought, 'Hey, let's take this on the road.'

I don't know if I could write songs if it wasn't for the female race, to be honest with you.

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.

I got my first acting role because I was a singer.

I was in a movie with Angelina Jolie called 'Life Or Something Like It' where I played her fiance, and I have a song in there.

I have long hair because I'm American Indian. I'm an Oklahoma boy, and I'm very proud of my heritage.

When you're playing country music, you have to tell the truth.

I get paid to lie to people as an actor. Country music is the one area that I don't lie. I tell the truth.

I started rocking and rolling when Guns N' Roses came out. It wasn't until Garth Brooks came around that I really got back to country. He made it fun again. To me, in country music, the rigor mortis was setting in and it just wasn't fun anymore. Garth brought everyone back over to country and made it cool again.
