	Maybe my face is edgy, but that's because it's the face of somebody who's seen life.

	I just had to find something else to fulfill me. Always being a singer and writing, it was a blessing. My brother started making music that was the kind of music I always saw myself singing.   
- 
	
	There's really nothing else I'm going to do with my life. I'd be useless if I weren't singing or acting.   
- 
	
	As a brother and sister, our tastes were pretty different growing up. He liked a lot of early hip hop. My dad didn't understand it and would try to talk him out of it.   
- 
	
	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.

	When we saw our plane on TV as breaking news, it was the most surreal experience. A lot of the women were crying. There was a gentleman who was writing in his journal and crying. Seeing that isn't easy.

	I went through the process of auditioning like every other struggling actress in this town.   
- 
	
	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.

	The whole business is a gamble. There's no real stability, you're kind of just floating around like a feather your whole life.

	It was Britney's movie. I liked that movie. It didn't get too much love, but a lot of people really liked it.   
- 
	
	My singing is my hobby. It's me and my brother. We just enjoy writing music.   
- 
	
	A lot of people want to judge the fact that I'm an actor. That's ridiculous. No one knows what I was doing before I made my first movie. I just happened to do it as an actor all the while I've been doing music, but never with the intention to become a screaming famous pop star.

	Normally I wouldn't spoil anything because I love surprises - I don't even shake my presents at Christmas.   
- 
	
	I have so many friends who hate their jobs and man, it's such a struggle trying to find what they love or what they dream of. I feel so lucky that I found what I love and my dreams have started to come true.   
- 
	
	I'm pretty hard on myself. Every now and again I'll go on my IMDB or update my resume and I'm like, "man, I've done a lot of work."   
- 
	
	I like to contribute. Even in my bands, I can't really just be the singer.   
- 
	
	I'm very, very, very, very spiritual. I grew up in an organized religion, I went to Sunday school as a kid. I'm very grateful that there was religion. I think it instills a good moral compass.

	In my martial arts days. I was taught a lot of discipline that probably rolls over into other parts of my life. You're not supposed to attack back until you're attacked. You never take your skills and abuse them. I knew I could be lethal to someone my size.   
- 
	
	As soon as you put an actor to a person who is real, that person comes to life through another person.   
- 
	
	I ended up doing amazing things with my life; I'm well-read, educated and sophisticated - and I'm not the stereotype everyone makes me out to be.   
- 
	
	There are likable characters in prison. Sometimes the worst criminals are also some of the most charming people.   
- 
	
	Everyone thinks I'm some big drug addict and loser because of the parts I play - quite the opposite. I decided to be a winner.   
- 
	
	My whole thing is I like to hang around winners, I like winning spirits, I have zero tolerance for jealousy.   
- 
	
	I won't even take jobs where you get paid to sit with a group of friends and party. That's never been my vibe.
