You're not only the spotlight in which you perform, but the shadows where you practice.

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.

I definitely believe in the power of education. I believe the more people know, the more they are able to do what they can.

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.

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

You can't force music; It just has to come to you.
