My whole thing is I like to hang around winners, I like winning spirits, I have zero tolerance for jealousy.

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.

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.

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'm definitely the worker. My brother is the jokester.

Everyone thinks I'm some big drug addict and loser because of the parts I play - quite the opposite. I decided to be a winner.

I just had to find something else to fulfill me. Always being a singer and writing, it was a blessing. My brother started making music that was the kind of music I always saw myself singing.
