passionate
Perhaps like attracts like, and that's why I found myself in a circle of women who are so passionate about making music.
girlfriend world kind
All my best girlfriends play guitar now, which is kind of a funny world to live in.
girl growing-up dad
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.
boys work-ethic ethics
I had no kind of work ethic and I always felt that music - especially rock 'n' roll - was a more for boys.
heart broken my-heart
I started playing music when I was 18. My heart was just broken so badly that I decided that I really wanted to start playing music. It felt like the only thing that I could do in response to that. And I've been playing ever since.
i-realized
I realized that I really didn't like the sound of the ukulele so much so I started playing the guitar.
listening acting listening-to-music
I love acting so much, but listening to music and making music has been the greatest savior for me.
song feelings
When I have no idea what to do with how I'm feeling, I generally make a song out of it.
interesting film moments
As soon as I saw myself beginning to be way too comfortable on a film set or TV set, and not stimulated by it the way that I had been that had brought me to want to be there professionally and creatively, was the moment that I started getting really, really sad. I decided, "Okay, I just want to actually be here, how can I make this be interesting for me?"
home wife acting
You don't have that interaction with the audience when you're acting for film; you're kind of acting in a vacuum. You're acting for a disinterested grip who just wants to reply to his wife about what time he'll be home for dinner. Everyone else on a film set is also there because they're paid to be there. They're not there because they're passionate about what you do necessarily.
artist trying musician
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.
age acting
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.
feel-good passionate
Aligning my music with something that feels morally and politically passionate to me feels good.
ambition mean insane
I guess part of my ambivalence about pursuing music as well as acting is that acting is already one of the most difficult careers to create for yourself, I must be insane to embark on creating two careers in two of the most difficult fields. But I have really different ambitions with music; I just want to stay in love with music. I want it to continue to be a means of expression for me that feels like it's mine, and something that feels community-based.
