Every time I'm not on a project, I'm writing or in the studio or doing gigs DJing.

Lauren Hill, I always have her solo CD nearby. I have Coldplay, Radiohead, just a mix

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.

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 grew up in a mobile home, but it wasn't like white trash - it was a beautiful mobile home park, I had a loving mother, there were kids everywhere, there was a playground in the center, I just grew up in poverty.

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

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