Ross Lynch

“Playing Dahmer, there were ups and downs. It wasn't all dark, all the time. I felt a wide range of emotions.”

“I can play anything - piano, drums, guitar, harp - I can even play a trumpet through another trumpet.”

“As an artist, you want to entertain people.”

“The songs my band and I like to sing - the songs that the room will erupt for - are '90s hits, like 'All Star.'”

“When I'm feeling stressed out and overwhelmed, sometimes I'll read a book. But most of the time, I will either listen to music or play music. I'm basically always playing music, even if I'm not stressed!”

“I usually try to stay off my phone and enjoy the world, but when I am on my phone, it's always for social media - to talk to my bros and my fans and my friends.”

“Im looking for a girl who's fun to be around.”

“I've met girls in college that say to me, 'Is it bad that I'm 25 and I'm in love with Ross Lynch?'”

“My favorite poem ever was 'Annabel Lee' by Edgar Allan Poe.”

“I have an electric Fender and a Telecaster. I have a Taylor and a Martin. I want to get more guitars for more sounds.”

“'Teen Beach Movie' was a lot of fun because we were in Puerto Rico on an island - you can't even call it work!”

“You grow as a writer when you learn how to make songs flow from start to finish. That's the best song, when it's such a seamless process to get to this release at the chorus, this euphoric feeling. That's why the Beatles were so good - they did such a good job building so much tension in the beginning to this immaculate release, and then it ends.”

“I don't really think of myself as a heartthrob. I've got a lot of brothers, and there's a natural competitiveness between us when it comes to girls. If I said something about being a heartthrob, then they would bring me straight back down to earth!”

“The reason we started the Driver Era is just 'cause our creative endeavors sort of demanded it.”

“I try to make as much time as I can for R5, because I love it so much. Ultimately, that's what's going to be around forever in my life. Because with 'Austin & Ally,' our season is going to end, and then that will be it. But R5 will always be there.”

“There are times when you sit down, and you're just like, 'Man, I don't know if I can do it right now.' Take a second - go to the woods and just hang out, or go to Yosemite and check it out. Be in nature for a little while; clock out - which is super healthy, especially for creative types. Honestly, for everyone. Everyone needs that at times.”

“I like to go off the other actors in the scene, which kind of stinks when you're acting with someone who's not that great.”

“It's always important to stay in contact with the fans, because ultimately, if they weren't there, I wouldn't be here. It's very, very important to spread the love.”

“As far as putting stuff on social media, I think Instagram is really cool because I like the visual aspect. You're taking pictures, and you can put a filter on them, and it's super creative.”

“A lot of people say actions are stronger than words, and I think, in acting, this is a very accurate thing.”
