That's why I'm an actress, to do something completely opposite from myself

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

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 just get focused on whatever is in front of me. When I was filming Crossroads, it had all my focus. Now I'm all focused on finishing my recording so I can get that out. It's just day by day.

I like to contribute. Even in my bands, I can't really just be the singer.

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 never wanted to stop. I feel like to the day I die I'll play guitar and sing.
