Even though it seems like there are a lot of parts, there is really tons of downtime in the acting world.

I have so many songs, it's ridiculous. I love so many different types of music and tend to write all over the map, style-wise. R&B, rock 'n' roll, screamers, pop, good-time songs.

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.

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.

There's really nothing else I'm going to do with my life. I'd be useless if I weren't singing or acting

It's just different in the music world. You come more with an entourage

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.
