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. – Christian Kane
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. – Christian Kane
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. – Christian Kane
It’s funny that a lot of the fans of ‘Angel’ have come over and hung out with me on ‘Leverage.’ I was so fortunate to have been on that show. It created one of the best fan groups ever. I just have the best fans in the world. – Christian Kane
I don’t know if I could write songs if it wasn’t for the female race, to be honest with you. – Christian Kane
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. – Christian Kane
You’re not going to hear me sing about being on a tractor or being married… because I don’t know anything about that. – 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. – Christian Kane
I have long hair because I’m American Indian. I’m an Oklahoma boy, and I’m very proud of my heritage. – Christian Kane
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. – Christian Kane
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. – Christian Kane
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. – Christian Kane
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. – Christian Kane
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. – Christian Kane
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. – Christian Kane
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.’ – Christian Kane
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. – Christian Kane
Joss Whedon who created ‘Buffy The Vampire Slayer,’ ‘Angel,’ and all that… he is a genius. – 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. – Christian Kane
