But from the time I was very little, it was something I would do all the time, just sing, dance and act. So it wasn't something that was fake or contrived as I got older.

I would never speak about specifics in my own relationships because I think it's tacky. If you seriously want to know, listen to the music.

Sometimes you have to explore the darkness to get to the light and get back to who you are.

It's a real roller-coaster ride if you're lucky to have longevity in this business - you have to be able to ride those waves.

The weirdest thing about me is that I like to walk around naked. I grew up walking around naked in my house. My mom was like that, and my sisters. My father worked nights and slept during the day, so we had no one to hide from.

What you realize is it's not about financial success as an artist. A lot of actors and actresses, producers, writers, and the creative people in the business realize that. It's not about that. Yeah, we all want to be successful, but we all just want to create and we want to tell the stories. We want to continue creating the opportunities to be able to continue doing what we love. So, at the end of the day, I feel like it's a win-win for everybody to be able to make these independent films.

And I deal with all that by being like a perfectionist. But that's okay.
