Aligning my music with something that feels morally and politically passionate to me feels good.

The idea of choosing something that you want to be, that you identify as, at a young age and pursuing that without question - for me that was acting.

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.

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

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

It takes a lot of courage to be a performer.

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.
