I'd never been to a prom, I had never had the whole high school experience. I think I was kind of an anomaly. I don't think they knew where to put me.

You have to really concentrate on piano or acting. You can't do both.

I don't know that I'm actually bipolar, but I definitely have huge mood swings, and I'm definitely passionate about the way I feel. I'm not really lukewarm one way or the other.

Pianos tend to get better as they age, the more you play them. They grow into their sound.

I compose my own stuff. I've been writing songs with words. I've been playing more on the keyboard because I can transpose it to sheet music on the computer.

All of those art-based fields are similar in that they're all hard to make a living in and they all require an intense amount of training and discipline.

Acting is magical. Change your look and your attitude, and you can be anyone.
