Acting was definitely half of what I loved about storytelling and about theater. So, when I get a chance to do a cameo in a show or do a movie, it's a lot of fun and it's always great stepping outside of yourself and either playing a bizarro version of yourself or playing a character.

Music is so 100 percent for me that the idea of giving that up in any way, shape, or form would be terrifying to me.

Even with our differences There is a place we're all connected Each of us can find each other's light, There's so much to be thankful for.

As a new artist there's always outside influences trying to tell you how to make a song better for radio and how to do your hair.

When it comes to the acting stuff, I like to show up for a couple days and kind of be outrageous and silly, and go back to my day job.

I get terrible butterflies. Before I go onstage, I'll have to freak out for five minutes. I scream. It seems to help!

Don't try to be like me. Try to be like yourself. Try to be very good at being yourself.
