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

My mom has never been a big meddler and isn't like extremely opinionated or at least just doesn't voice it to me. She's sort of let me come into my own by myself and I think that's just a testament to what my parents did in terms of raising us.

Because I'm in an adult world and I'm really working, my age is just a number. It's not really who I am.

I don't cook very well at all. I'm the girl that can't make scrambled eggs.

I write a lot on airplanes actually because it's completely isolating; there's no one to talk to, there's nothing to do.

I take advantage of the opportunities that have come my way. I think I've lucked out that I've never been thrust in the spotlight where people wanted to dissect every aspect of my life. I've been given a lot of distance and respect. It's allowed me the best of both worlds. I have the job of my dreams, but I also have the freedom that doesn't always come with it. I feel very lucky in that sense.

I need to be more consistent about taking care of myself no matter how busy I am.
