Music kept me sane between acting jobs.

I was acting before I did music, so it is an easier transition for me in my own mindset.

I would like to continue making music and acting in projects that give me a lot of satisfaction.

Music was something I chose that I came to as a kid, and acting was something that was suggested to me.

To me, all writing is like music. And especially dialogue. I studied music in college; that is what I wanted to be, a composer. Acting got me sidetracked.

I think, as far as branching out with acting, it would take something really right on the mark to distract me from music, because music is everything to me.

My first break wasn't professional - I was in 'The Sound of Music' when I was five. I played Gretel, the youngest one, because that was what kind of took off for me in terms of loving acting.

Music is contagious and everywhere and democratic, and that's what drew me in. I was interested in acting and being a director, but one of the things that bored me about theatre was that it was not accessible to everyone.

Acting came easy to me, I think. There's something about it that's a lot easier for me in the sense that you're playing someone else. In music, you're giving somebody 'you.' Being able to do that and being willing to share that is an entirely different thing.
