Perhaps like attracts like, and that's why I found myself in a circle of women who are so passionate about making music.

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.

On the single strand of wire strung to bring our house electricity, grackles and starlings neatly punctuated an invisible sentence.

God never measures the mind... He always put His tape measure in the HEART

I have long been a fan and enthusiast where art is concerned.

My affections are easily swayed and I can be very unfaithful.

I didn't want to say anything. I liked Star Wars when I was ten.

Liberation from every form of exploitation, the possibility of a more human and dignified life, the creation of a new humankind - all pass through this struggle.

As each generation comes into the world devoid of knowledge, its first duty is to obtain possession of the stores already amassed. It must overtake its predecessors before it can pass by them.

Tiffany and I are great friends, and I appreciate all that she is doing for me now. But she is not you. I still love you, Nikki. And you can’t control or alter true love.

The sun gives you ulcers, the wind gives you T.B. Once you were beautiful.

The Pope is not putting himself out on a limb, he's putting himself up on the Cross, and that's what he's called to do.
