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.

I write most of my stuff. When I'm rejected in music, it hurts worse than when I don't get a role, because that's someone else's vision. If they don't see me as that part, even if I believe I'm the perfect person for it, that's their vision. The music is my vision.

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

My dad was a musician and I traveled around with him, so it was something that I knew

I'm not really into movies on dates because you can't chat it up.

That's why I'm an actress, to do something completely opposite from myself

Normally I wouldn't spoil anything because I love surprises - I don't even shake my presents at Christmas.
