People don't necessarily want to step away from what they think they know of you. Getting to know this whole other persona and all of the things that come along with that, it can be confusing for people.

I just wanted to make sure I had the music true to me and the life I'm living and to what I really want to say. That's super important to me.

Musically, I think I change music like I change clothes! What I listen to on a day to day basis is really contingent upon my mood and what's going on in my life.

A lot of times people have you pegged for what you are, and that's what you are and need to stay in. Going from an actress into my true passion for other people, it may seem kind of backwards.

There are a lot of things that come easy, but they're not necessarily worth it. Anything worth having, you work hard for. That's how I feel I am.

I think music is such an extension of who we are, and the fact that I've gone through as much as I have, good, bad, and ugly, has really helped to shape the songs that I picked.

I think that as women sometimes, we put ourselves secondary because we kind of lose ourselves and the part of us that makes us awesome.
