Music was always part of my life - my mother says I came out singing. I wanted to be Gene Kelly - or Judy Garland.

I was constantly, always and forever, trying to perform the musical 'Annie' for anyone who would listen, and I have a terrible singing voice. It was the first thing that made me think I wanted to be an actress.

I always knew I wanted to work in entertainment, but I actually really wanted to be a singer more than an actress.

My father being in the movie business, I thought being an actor would be great. But when I started singing to people in coffeehouses, you know, singing folk music and then, later, singing songs that I started to write myself, I felt more than an affinity for it.

I always wanted to be a singer, and so, when I was 5 years old, I started acting classes so I could be a better performer. I wanted to have a powerful voice so I could be heard.

When I was younger, all I wanted to do was be a singer, and then I got into a great acting class in New York and became obsessed with that.

My father being in the movie business, I thought being an actor would be great. But when I started singing to people in coffeehouses, you know, singing folk music and then, later, singing songs that I started to write myself, I felt more than an affinity for it. I felt a calling.

I hated singing. I wanted to be an actress. But I don't think I'd have made it any other way.

As a kid, I used to sing, dance, I was into dramatics. I would love to pursue being an actor, but not as such as a hero.

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