I DJ very often. I'll probably do it more. I'm not available during the week because of the show but I travel most weekends to DJ. I've been doing it for about six years.
I won't even take jobs where you get paid to sit with a group of friends and party. That's never been my vibe.
I like to contribute. Even in my bands, I can't really just be the singer.
Watching people party is cool, but I don't love watching people get super-duper trashed and annoying. I feel protected behind my booth - away from the madness, but a part of it too.
I write most of my stuff. When I'm rejected in music, it hurts worse than when I don't get a role, because that's someone else's vision. If they don't see me as that part, even if I believe I'm the perfect person for it, that's their vision. The music is my vision.
I've had an interesting time adjusting to New York. I'm from California and I'm very much a California girl. I feel lucky to officially say I'm bi-coastal.
I have so many songs, it's ridiculous. I love so many different types of music and tend to write all over the map, style-wise. R&B, rock 'n' roll, screamers, pop, good-time songs.
In my martial arts days. I was taught a lot of discipline that probably rolls over into other parts of my life. You're not supposed to attack back until you're attacked. You never take your skills and abuse them. I knew I could be lethal to someone my size.
Everyone thinks I'm some big drug addict and loser because of the parts I play - quite the opposite. I decided to be a winner.
Normally I wouldn't spoil anything because I love surprises - I don't even shake my presents at Christmas.
The reason I love acting is because I feel like acting is all about listening.
I never wanted to stop. I feel like to the day I die I'll play guitar and sing.
