I had no kind of work ethic and I always felt that music - especially rock 'n' roll - was a more for boys.

Perhaps like attracts like, and that's why I found myself in a circle of women who are so passionate about making music.

I'm going to be a better actor, or I'm going to try to be a better actor. I'm going to try to be a better musician. I'm going to be an artist instead of just this one thing.

I realized that I really didn't like the sound of the ukulele so much so I started playing the guitar.

You perform the thing that you made, that's inside of you, and to subject that to any kind of scrutiny is terrifying. It's still terrifying to me.

There's something really natural to me about being what they call in the business a "hyphenate." Being a musician-actor or writer-musician-actor.

I started playing music when I was 18. My heart was just broken so badly that I decided that I really wanted to start playing music. It felt like the only thing that I could do in response to that. And I've been playing ever since.
