CHORD OVERSTREET

I'm a huge Neil Flynn fan.

Throughout your whole career, there's a bunch of people you might have to kiss. Say there's this character opposite you, and you might not be into her - or him, personally. You just gotta' do it. That's your job.

I would rather hang out in my house with a couple of friends than go and rage all night.

I write alternative, folkie pop. It's very acoustic.

I freaking love Gwyneth Paltrow - I think she's awesome. She is fantastic.

It's not weird being recognised, but it's weird having to stop what you're doing to take pictures or sign something. But the fans are the reason you have your success, so it comes with the territory.

My dad is in the music business in Nashville. I was the third child born in my family, and there are three notes in a chord, so that's how they came up with my name.

I always knew I wanted to have a good career, so I made it happen.

I don't want to be compared to Brad Pitt because I don't want to, you know, disappoint anybody. Brad Pitt is an icon.

I can play the harmonica with my nose.

If I'm going to be on national T.V. without my shirt on, I've got to look good.

I love John Stamos. John's a really friendly, cool dude.

I watched 'Full House.' I loved 'Full House.'

I've been playing music since I was born.

I talked to my agent and said that, basically, I'm the Taylor Lautner of TV. We both have our shirts off a lot. And we have the same agent, so we goof around about it. I'm waiting to open a script and see my shirt on.

I got my first instrument for Christmas when I was three or four years old. My parents got me a mandolin because it was the only instrument that would fit me because I was so small. I went straight from that into the drums when I was six, and then I started playing guitar when I was seven or eight.

I've always been a fan of 'Beat It,' 'You Rock My World,' and 'Smooth Criminal.'

My real name is Chord Overstreet. I actually got my name because my dad is in the music business as a songwriter. I was the third one in my family born, and there are three notes in a chord, so that's how they came up with my name.

I got my first instrument at Christmas when I was three or four. My dad and mom got me a mandolin. It was the only instrument that fit me because I was so small. I went straight from that into drums when I was six and then started playing guitar when I was seven or eight.

My pet peeve is when people come over to my house, and there are coasters, but they don't use a coaster.

I like to check out of reality for a little bit when I listen to music and kind of go somewhere, so I feel like the more broken-down acoustic songs tell stories to me the best.

I always wanted to be like my dad.

My dream collaboration would be Elvis.

I think people ragging on me is kind of a form of flattery.

I play the piano, drums, little bit of bass, guitar. I can play harmonica, a little bit of the ukulele. Pretty much anything that's a strumming, string type thing.
