Having this other career in music made me work harder as an actress. It's made me more professional.

Music is my passion. It's my priority. I love it.

I've always felt support from my guy. Absolutely. That's what being in a balanced, healthy relationship is all about, is being able to support one another.

If that day comes when I'm done with the acting and singing, I'll just pack it in and go home.

I guess I have sort of an atypical relationship with my mom for someone my age, because I think I started so young with the music thing and I had my parents always on the road with me. So at a time when I think I should have been rebelling like in high school, they were actually my best friends.

I've always had bad posture, and Pilates makes me feel taller and reminds me to keep my shoulders back. And hiking isn't just about doing cardio, it's also when I can get my 'me time' to be alone with my thoughts. After Pilates I should do some cardio, and after hiking, I need to do some resistance training.

I grew up doing musical theatre in Orlando, Florida. When I was 14, I just happened to be in the right place at the right time - a deliveryman heard me singing and offered to deliver my demo tape to Sony Music. I was just really lucky.
