Robert: I never really considered myself an actor because I never pursued it. Really, it was all about my band even before I got the part in the movie. I've always been real close to film world. I love film, and I will do things in film, but music is more satisfying. It feels more like me.
Robert: (about him and his brother being in the acting business) Our mother tried to discourage both of us from being actors, but once we'd made it clear we wanted to give it a try, she was there for us 100 percent.
Robert: When I was 10, my mother let me be a production assistant on her movie One Night Stand. It was so exciting working on a film rather than just sitting there watching everyone else work. I think that's when I got hooked.
