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."

I play, in real life, Kim, who is actually Marshall Mathers ex-wife as of now. She lies and says she is pregnant because she really wants to keep him and he figures her out.

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

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.

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

I've made money doing things I love. DJing was a hobby. When I bought my turntables my mom said, "Oh what now, Taryn?" But it became pretty fruitful right away. I come from a very music-oriented family.

It could be fun to sing with Prince or Michael Jackson. Justin Timberlake has an amazing new sound now
