My mother had no idea that her daughter would turn out to be a writer, but she would not let me go through a day of my childhood without music.

I sometimes listen to music to get into some place that I need to get. I don't think it's because I have a musician as a father that I do this - most actors do.

I have absolutely no musical talent of my own!

I do a lot of performing, but don't get a chance to go to the studio and write good music.

A lot of producers don't have any musical education. I couldn't make the music I make without playing the piano.

I grew up in a musical family, but nobody was a professional musician.

I did musicals from about age 10 to 18.

My parents were serious working musicians, but they were not stars - not like pop stars that you have now. They had to make a living and that meant touring, working hard, going on the road - and we were roped in.

A lot of my friends are struggling musicians. Being a struggling actor, it's just frustrating because you're not allowed to do what you want to do.

I've been writing music since I was a teenager. I play keyboards. I'm not much of a player, but I can write. That will come along. I'd like to do a musical.
