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.

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

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.

I never wanted to stop. I feel like to the day I die I'll play guitar and sing.

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

Acting, I love it and I feel that I'm good at it, but the thing that makes me feel most alive is when I'm playing guitar and singing.

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.
