I didn't grow up in one place, so I never had a certain mentality. I have some aspects of growing up in Texas, but I also have a lot of East Coast family. I would have loved to grow up on the East Coast.

I love people like Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, people who create and write their own stuff - especially when there's just not enough cool, interesting characters out there.

I wouldn't do the music thing if it weren't for my brother, who's a producer. He understands me and helps my vision come to life.

Every day is a reminder of what I need to do to be the best person; the best me.

I grew up watching James Bond and Star Wars and I just love that kind of action. I love trying to see if *I* can actually do it.

Don't be afraid of your own power.

With the pay gap in Hollywood, I think it's very easy to say - 'oh, what are they complaining for? They're making millions of dollars.' But by having a woman in the industry do this, it's easier for others to see it.
