Drake Bell

I always loved comic books when I was growing up, and Spider-Man was definitely a character I gravitated towards because I loved the story of an average teenager having super powers.

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.

Leslie Nielsen was my favorite growing up; getting to work with him was amazing.

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 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 say that I'm more than just a teeny-bopper artist... that my music can appeal to people of all ages.

I've been to a lot of places while touring, but I'd have to say Switzerland was my favorite.

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!

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 think my music speaks for itself - it backs me up.

I don't want just 25-year-old girls watching my show. I want Grandma, Grandpa and Mom and Dad and the kids. I just want everyone to hear good music.

I'm on stage where Rivers Cuomo from Weezer was standing? It's kind of a mind trip.
