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

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

As soon as I saw myself beginning to be way too comfortable on a film set or TV set, and not stimulated by it the way that I had been that had brought me to want to be there professionally and creatively, was the moment that I started getting really, really sad. I decided, "Okay, I just want to actually be here, how can I make this be interesting for me?"

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

I guess I was always envious of people who got to move to New York for college because they got to see the city that I, perhaps, was pretty jaded by with new eyes and discover for themselves that Andy Warhol was dead.
