I personally feel that acting is not totally different from singing and being a musician.

I'm inspired by many of my friends, colleagues, and the extraordinary people I've been fortunate enough to meet along the way.

I've always expressed myself best through writing. I've gotten out all of my deepest feelings that way for as long as I can remember.

Hand me the world on a silver platter, and what good would it be?

When I perform in front of large audiences, I'm much more comfortable, because I've already performed in front of tiny audiences - which is much harder, honestly. The smaller you strip things down, the more you depend on the songs and yourself, as opposed to arrangements.

Simplicity makes me happy.

I thought I had to be perfect. I would often make choices I thought would make everyone else happy. I lived at a pace that was "good for my career," whether it was good for me or not. I have learned how important it is to check in with myself and listen, really listen.
