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.

I love acting so much, but listening to music and making music has been the greatest savior for me.

Even though I was performing all the time as an actress and I was doing all of these plays as a kid, there's a vulnerability about being a musician that you don't get [when] you perform somebody else's work.

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.

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.

It takes a lot of courage to be a performer.
