I started playing music when I was really young.

I do both music and acting at the same time. To me they are both really important parts of how I express myself and understand myself in the world. I don't ever want to have to choose one over the other in any sort of grand sense of things. Obviously with scheduling you wind up making choices.

One of the benefits to television is that you're with these characters for years, you know them so well.

I think children in general have a very hard time - at least I did - expressing any pain because I didn't want to hurt the people that I loved.

Even though New York may be a more inspiring city, I get more inspired thinking of L.A., in a way. My life there was so much more simple in mind, and quiet.

Everyone in my family is an artist. Both my parents are painters and my mom's an opera singer. I was never shown any other way to process life.
