When my parents fought, I'd run up to my room, put on The Sound of Music, open the window and sing out. My voice was my escape. I saw it as a way out.

I have a lot of aggression in me that needs to come out in a not-very-precise or articulate way.

I lose myself in my performances so I wouldn't say that I ever act on stage. I don't find it to be an acting drill for me. I just find it to be something very real that comes from a very gut-driven, honest place.

My son is healthy and happy, so that's all that matters to me.

My body can't put anyone in jeopardy of not making money anymore - my body is just not on the table that way anymore.

I just get really bored with sticking to the norm and having the proper conservative image. That's just so not me.

The blind audition process can be nerve-wracking.
