All my best girlfriends play guitar now, which is kind of a funny world to live in.

You don't have that interaction with the audience when you're acting for film; you're kind of acting in a vacuum. You're acting for a disinterested grip who just wants to reply to his wife about what time he'll be home for dinner. Everyone else on a film set is also there because they're paid to be there. They're not there because they're passionate about what you do necessarily.

Making music is so much more self-motivated. It's my own music. It's my own time. I don't have a team around me that's helped me make everything.

When I have no idea what to do with how I'm feeling, I generally make a song out of it.

Growing up with my dad being a musician, it seemed like a male centric world to me. I just didn't know many girls playing guitar.

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.

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