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

Because I was a dancer, I started going to auditions for musical theater, which forced me to sing.

I always loved to sing and was very, very loud. I wanted to be a movie star, like Judy Garland.

I mostly did musicals and concerts when I was younger, and then I realized I don't quite have the voice for it, so I went into acting, which I enjoy more.

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

I was always a singer and a dancer, and I always wanted to be an actress. For me, it's all just one thing.

I was always one of those fortunate people who never wanted to be anything other than a singer and an actor. Most people know me as a singer, but I am also an actor.

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.
