I just had to find something else to fulfill me. Always being a singer and writing, it was a blessing. My brother started making music that was the kind of music I always saw myself singing.

I feel the craziest people are sometimes the most intelligent.

After reading Eminem's autobiography, which I did because I'm so interested in him as an artist, I respect him a lot. Even though he seems angry and mad, he's had to fight so many demons in his life.

I have played some very kind and loving character. I don't know why I'm so good at playing bad. I really don't.

I went through the process of auditioning like every other struggling actress in this town.

It's really hard for actors to cross over and get any respect as a singer, and if I could just keep it separate and not use my music in movies, it's cool.

In my martial arts days. I was taught a lot of discipline that probably rolls over into other parts of my life. You're not supposed to attack back until you're attacked. You never take your skills and abuse them. I knew I could be lethal to someone my size.
