I was raised to volunteer: nursing homes, clinics, church nurseries, school, everywhere that could use help. It's such an intrinsic part of me, to use my life to help improve the quality of others.

I want to be able to walk a red carpet and look great but also be able to shred onstage and move. So I tend to go for comfort over anything - I like menswear-inspired stuff but I also like getting glam once in awhile. Whatever I wear, I like it to feel very strong and very unique.

One of the things I love about summer is that you can wear a bikini top and put something over it and it kind of just always looks a little beach-ready, which I think is very fun.

I never wash my hair the night before an event - I call it second day hair, and it holds better.

To love is a brave thing. To be loved, braver still. But allowing yourself to love yourself? That takes the most courage of all.

Music is such an intensely personal thing for me, and I knew if I was going to do it, it would be in my own way.

I remember going to acting class, so certain that no one's ever going to know my name.
