Singing was my first passion. Whenever I sing, I'm always so happy.

I've always been who I've been. I've always been this person.

I decided to not be so dismissive of my music in favor of my acting. Acting has been such a consistent thing for me; a lot of times in the past, I wouldn't have had the confidence with my music to really make it a part of my schedule. I would easily push it to the side, or I would easily take up time that was needed for it. I'm not that way anymore. Now, I really want to make everything work. I want to continue to do both at the highest level that I can.

Follow your heart's truth with no need for personal gain other than the feeling produced when doing what you truly love.

As a kid growing up, the most simple things would make me so, so excited. I remember the first time my dad got a let-out couch; you could sleep in it like a bed and my sister and I just thought that was so magical.

I always try to set a positive example for my generation and promote confidence.

I feel like I've reached a point where music has become just as much a priority to me as my acting, and I'm glad to feel that way.
