Originally I considered myself a singer.

I got my first acting role because I was a singer.

I always wanted to perform in some capacity since I was a kid - I was a ballerina, then a singer before acting.

My initial career, really, as a baby, was as a singer.

Growing up, I always wanted to be a singer, and I've done that.

Getting on stage, for me, was a huge thing when I first started. And back in high school, everyone was in rock bands and I was a singer/songwriter. It just seems kind of lame.

I just became a singer, because I could never get work as an actress.

The first thing I wanted to be was an actor, even before I wanted to be a singer, before I discovered I could sing.

I had been singing all my life, but I started acting in high school.

I was pretty young when I decided I wanted to, well, more so be a singer. I started singing in church in my hometown, East Orange, New Jersey. I knew when I was about five or six that I wanted to be a performer.
