I've made money doing things I love. DJing was a hobby. When I bought my turntables my mom said, "Oh what now, Taryn?" But it became pretty fruitful right away. I come from a very music-oriented family.

Everybody thinks because of my character that I'm this wild girl and I am, I'm an actor, and I have that in me - but I'm actually very calm and mellow.

My singing is my hobby. It's me and my brother. We just enjoy writing music.

The most interesting place I've gone on location was New Orleans

I'm very, very, very, very spiritual. I grew up in an organized religion, I went to Sunday school as a kid. I'm very grateful that there was religion. I think it instills a good moral compass.

There are likable characters in prison. Sometimes the worst criminals are also some of the most charming people.

I've had ups and downs but always maintained I was a working actor, which is a beautiful thing.
