Aligning my music with something that feels morally and politically passionate to me feels good.

The idea of choosing something that you want to be, that you identify as, at a young age and pursuing that without question - for me that was acting.

There's something really natural to me about being what they call in the business a "hyphenate." Being a musician-actor or writer-musician-actor.

Making music is so much more self-motivated. It's my own music. It's my own time. I don't have a team around me that's helped me make everything.

I'm going to be a better actor, or I'm going to try to be a better actor. I'm going to try to be a better musician. I'm going to be an artist instead of just this one thing.

When I have no idea what to do with how I'm feeling, I generally make a song out of it.

I love acting so much, but listening to music and making music has been the greatest savior for me.

I realized that I really didn't like the sound of the ukulele so much so I started playing the guitar.

I had no kind of work ethic and I always felt that music - especially rock 'n' roll - was a more for boys.

Growing up with my dad being a musician, it seemed like a male centric world to me. I just didn't know many girls playing guitar.

All my best girlfriends play guitar now, which is kind of a funny world to live in.

When money realizes that it is in good hands, it wants to stay and multiply in those hands.

And out of darkness came the hands that reach through nature, moulding men.

I wouldn't go to war over Ukraine.

Americans love to read about violence.

I don't think anything can touch the expressive range of the guitar.

Twins are a high-risk pregnancy, by definition. The quieter I am, the longer I can keep them growing.

The ifs and buts of history...form an insubstantial if intoxicating diet.

Perhaps, in the end, there are no such things as creative people; there are only sharp observers with sensitive hearts.

Fewer people are bent from hard work than are crooked from avoiding it.
