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 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.

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 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.
