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 reason I love acting is because I feel like acting is all about listening.

I grew up in a very musical household. There was music and dance. My great-grandma was a famous tap dancer in the '40s, my mom was a dancer, she met my dad on the road when he was on tour in the '60s. Music is my heart and soul, it's my love.

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

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

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.

I'm more like an animalistic rock chick.
