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.

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.

There's something really natural to me about being what they call in the business a "hyphenate." Being a musician-actor or writer-musician-actor.

Making music is so much more self-motivated. It's my own music. It's my own time. I don't have a team around me that's helped me make everything.

Aligning my music with something that feels morally and politically passionate to me feels good.

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.

When I have no idea what to do with how I'm feeling, I generally make a song out of it.

I love acting so much, but listening to music and making music has been the greatest savior for me.

I realized that I really didn't like the sound of the ukulele so much so I started playing the guitar.

I had no kind of work ethic and I always felt that music - especially rock 'n' roll - was a more for boys.

All my best girlfriends play guitar now, which is kind of a funny world to live in.

I believe there are visions that come to us only in memory, in retrospect.

Most people treat the office manual the way they treat a software manual. They never look at it.

The only things of certainty are Death and Taxes.

Harvard gave me an education, but Junior Chamber gave me an education for life.

Donald Trump is actually doing what Bernie Sanders was billed as doing. He's doing new voters into the process.

I thought people cared about music in a deep way, so I was writing to that spirit in people and in myself. It was me, thinking I knew what was up. Youth, who else can change the world?

I'm a driven perfectionist, very self-critical.

I believe in natural gas as a clean, cheap alternative to fossil fuels.

But at the same time that the experience is pulling you apart, it's also bonding you. You have this joint venture! You both made this baby. And that's the thing I still can't get over
