I don't really like to call myself a brand, and I don't like to think of myself as a brand. I'm a singer, a songwriter, a musician and a performer. And an actress, and all the other things that I do. When you add it all together, some might call it a brand, but that's not my focus.

Brands are in your face 24/7; I'm sure you've consumed a couple brands today. So it's fun working with them. People recognize brands, and people are starting to recognize my brand.

As an actor, you can believe that you are the reason for a show's success, but these things are a brand name now. They're like Coca-Cola. It's like, with or without you, people are still gonna drink it.

I'm not a brand name, I'm a person.

Brand is just a perception, and perception will match reality over time. Sometimes it will be ahead, other times it will be behind. But brand is simply a collective impression some have about a product.

Character actors aren't a brand in the same way that high-profile leading men are.

Sometimes you do get caught up in the midst of becoming... a product, a brand, and not having a say in any of that.

It is important for me that I represent a brand that reflects my personality.

This is what Steve Jobs understood: Brands are defined not by the best thing on the product but by the worst thing.

The kind of roles which you get, people identify with your roles, and it then leads to the kind of brands you get.
