Tyler Hilton

I was a good student. My mom is a teacher, and her side of the family is all teachers. She put a big emphasis on getting good grades.

Getting on stage, for me, was a huge thing when I first started. And back in high school, everyone was in rock bands and I was a singer/songwriter. It just seems kind of lame.

I base my roots and history in old blues, old country and old bluegrass, and I like rock 'n' roll, and somehow it all came together, and that is what I am playing now.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

If every time you engage in a sex act, you go into a confession box, you will never accept your own sexuality.
