With acting, I get to escape into this character and embody it. With music it's like, "Hey guys, this is my diary, here's all my feelings."
Alison Lohman is an amazing actress. I was so proud to work with her.
My singing is my hobby. It's me and my brother. We just enjoy writing music.
I'm not really into movies on dates because you can't chat it up.
I've made money doing things I love. DJing was a hobby. When I bought my turntables my mom said, "Oh what now, Taryn?" But it became pretty fruitful right away. I come from a very music-oriented family.
Pride is the community coming together and showing that love is real.
I'm definitely the worker. My brother is the jokester.
I went through the process of auditioning like every other struggling actress in this town.
I have so many songs, it's ridiculous. I love so many different types of music and tend to write all over the map, style-wise. R&B, rock 'n' roll, screamers, pop, good-time songs.
There's really nothing else I'm going to do with my life. I'd be useless if I weren't singing or acting
My dad was a musician and I traveled around with him, so it was something that I knew
It could be fun to sing with Prince or Michael Jackson. Justin Timberlake has an amazing new sound now
I write most of my stuff. When I'm rejected in music, it hurts worse than when I don't get a role, because that's someone else's vision. If they don't see me as that part, even if I believe I'm the perfect person for it, that's their vision. The music is my vision.
The most interesting place I've gone on location was New Orleans
