When I'm in the studio, I write the music, I play the different instruments, I produce it, I arrange it, and it's a self-indulgent exercise. It's the way I make my music. And when I'm acting, I get to leave myself behind, which is a relief. I get to collaborate with a director; I respect the director's medium and all the actors and actresses. So at the end of the day, it's about a character and it's about a director's vision. It's a really good balance for being so intense and alone in my personal process of making music.

I knew what I wanted to do from the time I was 5.

I'm just looking for interesting roles and giving acting the respect it deserves.

A dramatic thing, the first time you stand up to your dad.

There's nothing more that we love than having a close, personal, open relationship, and I believe that's what God wants.

We weren't put here to be miserable. We were put here to do the best we can, and we should take our energy and improve our state of being.

Everything that I make I use.
