Christian Kane

“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.”

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

“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.”

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

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

“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.”

“I grew up with the Highwaymen, which was Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson. Mom and Dad rode rodeo, so country music was always in the house and the car. They threw in some Dolly Parton, too.”

“I owe my whole acting career to the fact that I'm a singer. I went out to Los Angeles and auditioned for a TV show called 'Fame L.A.' The original role was for a comedian, but they said I wasn't very funny, so they asked me, 'What else can you do?' So I played a singer.”

“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.”
