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

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.

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

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 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.

I’m waiting for the day when Rush Limbaugh’s pharmacist writes a book.

Men are most virile and attractive between the ages of 35 and 55. Under 35 a man has too much to learn, and I don't have time to teach him.

I really am planning on living to be 100. People ask, "Why are you so depressed?" I'm actually a very happy person.

He who gets the best players usually wins.

I'd love to have a hit record. I don't believe anyone that says they wouldn't like that.

The officer looked at Daisy while she was speaking, in a way that every young girl wants to be looked at sometime, and because it seemed romantic to me I have remembered the incident ever since.

I don't think you can be a credible, modern candidate for president without making the environment a major part of your platform.

It would be much easier to just make black, brown and beige clothes. But I do not see the world in black and white and beige. I find colors incredibly important.

I never wanted to be a literary writer. I wanted to be an entertainer. All I wanted was to give what a lot of writers had given me: a good time on a bad day.

Ive learned this is a very long marriage doing a television show. I like the people that I work with to be people I enjoy, so you want to cast people who are as excited and enthusiastic as you are.
