My father was my main influence. He was a preacher, but he was also a history and political science teacher, and since he was my hero, I wanted to follow in his footsteps and become a teacher.

People thought me a bit strange at first; a blond haired, blue-eyed Norwegian who sang Mexican folk songs, but I used it to my advantage and got a job. And so the music became my ticket to education.

Being on the move all the time is draining, but the rewards make up for it.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

I think when judges are in the position of authority, they really get bent out of shape when someone tells them they acted inappropriately.

I have rules about eating, exercising and rules about staying positive. And these rules are sacred to me.
