It's actually harder to write a fun song.
It's really hard for actors to cross over and get any respect as a singer, and if I could just keep it separate and not use my music in movies, it's cool.
I'm more like an animalistic rock chick.
I play, in real life, Kim, who is actually Marshall Mathers ex-wife as of now. She lies and says she is pregnant because she really wants to keep him and he figures her out.
Through teaching myself how to be happy and get through things, I hope I can also do that for other people.
Even though it seems like there are a lot of parts, there is really tons of downtime in the acting world.
I just get focused on whatever is in front of me. When I was filming Crossroads, it had all my focus. Now I'm all focused on finishing my recording so I can get that out. It's just day by day.
With acting, I get to escape into this character and embody it. With music it's like, "Hey guys, this is my diary, here's all my feelings."
Alison Lohman is an amazing actress. I was so proud to work with her.
My singing is my hobby. It's me and my brother. We just enjoy writing music.
I'm not really into movies on dates because you can't chat it up.
I've made money doing things I love. DJing was a hobby. When I bought my turntables my mom said, "Oh what now, Taryn?" But it became pretty fruitful right away. I come from a very music-oriented family.
Pride is the community coming together and showing that love is real.
I'm definitely the worker. My brother is the jokester.
