I love music and I guess I have less expectations or pressure to kind of put on myself because the music hasn't been some huge sensation.

My mom has always been my support system. She taught me to never give up and to keep pursuing my passions no matter what.

I love film, but it's bringing me away from music. Singing is what I'm probably most passionate about.

Developing a relationship with someone you admire, who can encourage you to reach your full potential, is something that everyone can benefit from.

I've really been sort of focused on acting and I feel really lucky because great projects sort of keep coming my way. I guess the criteria that I look for, it gets increasingly difficult because when you have the privilege of working with someone like Diane [Keaton], it's kind of like, 'Well, where do you go from there.'

The actual producing, mixing, and mastering is hard work, harder than what I do.

I think it's flattering when people say I'm a role model, but I don't think I am. It depends on your outlook on the word 'role model.' I'm not perfect or anything. I just consider it a great compliment.
