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

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

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.

Dreams become regrets when left in the mind, never planted in the soil of action.

Near, far wherever you are...you're here in my heart.

He that shrinks from the grave with too great a dread, has an invisible fear behind him pushing him into it.

I wish I wasn’t a girl who needed so much but a little free creature that slept in deserts and ran on clouds and lived on lilies.

No change, no chance.

I pledge to you I'm not a talker. I'm a doer.

I'm not interested in painting; I'm not interested in making a picture. Then what the hell am I interested in? I must be interested in this process.

I believe in Darwin and God together.

The human society is the extension of the individual. Therefore, if we really want a radical change, if we want a better world, we need to change individually.

The Compleat Angler is acknowledged to be one of the world's books. Only the trouble is that the world doesn't read its books, it borrows a detective story instead.
