Make sure you're always giving, way more than you're taking

But I like to listen to demos. I like to hear the finished product. It's like listening to a song - I mean, a story. If you're going to sit here and tell me a story, I just like to listen. I don't want to make them up.

You've got to stay current and up with the competition. The main thing, though, is finding the greatest songs you can possibly find.

Get as much out of life as you possibly can with all the passion that goes with it. Then give it back with all the love and respect it deserves.

I've never really done this. Now I know what scared is.

I always wanted to be an actress. I always wanted to be a movie star.

I don’t think there's ever been a point in my career where I've said, 'I've made it.' What does that mean, 'I've made it?' Made it to what? If you say, 'I've made it.' then are you finished? I don't want to be finished. I don't want to quit.
