I've been auditioning for a few movies here and there. I don't want anything to get in the way of the music any more than it has. It hasn't really gotten in the way; I've been doing two things at once.

In the last few years I've been listening to jazz more than anything else. I listen to a lot of world music and experimental here and there.

I'm really visually stimulated more than anything. I don't really listen to music. I'm more into watching telly or watching movies and visual art.

I'm proud - or really more thankful than anything - for all the work that I've gotten.

I did musical theater, and I did dancing for what it was at the performing arts high school that I went to. I went to a school where I was there on a scholarship. So I think when you're on a scholarship, you always work a tad harder, or you want to work a tad harder than the next person.

You learn from adversity more than anything because it allows you to see so much. It really allows you to see things in a different way.
