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

I have so many songs, it's ridiculous. I love so many different types of music and tend to write all over the map, style-wise. R&B, rock 'n' roll, screamers, pop, good-time songs.

With acting, I get to escape into this character and embody it. With music it's like, "Hey guys, this is my diary, here's all my feelings."

There's really nothing else I'm going to do with my life. I'd be useless if I weren't singing or acting

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

The Wreckoning is a darker song. But the record is positive

I've had an interesting time adjusting to New York. I'm from California and I'm very much a California girl. I feel lucky to officially say I'm bi-coastal.
