KEVIN COSTNER has a "dream" life as an actor - but it took years of hard work and dedication to carve out a career in music, the CM reported.
The Hollywood star is a member of country rock band Modern West and is relishing every moment of being in the group because of the struggle he went through to prove his musical talent.
He says, "I've had the kind of life where if I could dream it, I could do it. But you don't just end up on stage in front of thousands because you dream it.
"Hard work is involved in everything I do and I've enjoyed working on writing songs and performing music.
"If it ever stops being fun, I'll be just as happy going back to playing guitar and singing in my living room."
Modern West are currently on tour in the U.S. and are set to release an album in October (08).
