Too many times you come across lyrics that sound like you've heard them before or you can't really relate to them. And I think that I write songs that sound fresh and sensual in kind of a layered, lush way. But I also think that they are real, and that's why I wanted to call the record 'Inside Out.'

I’ve never had my brows done – I tweeze them myself. I used to watch my mom pluck her brows, that’s how I learned.

I feel like I’ve come out of this grown up, maybe because I live through the character vicariously and she grows up so much during the course of this story.

I think we’re all a lot more like our parents than we want to admit.

I always think I could do better. I always think that something could be more perfect, but I think that that’s just within my nature. I think I want to please a director, I want to give my everything and find every which way I could have burrowed further into a character.

I don’t really live my life in the media spotlight. People don’t know that much really about me or what I think.

Never get your girlfriend a pet that she didn’t know she was getting.

I’ve never been a person who focused on trends. I’m influenced and inspired by trends, but I don’t always subscribe to them.

I suppose that it doesn’t matter whether a song is written or sung by a man or a woman. If the sentiment is there, it captures the audience.

I’m an actor, so I love to be degraded!
