I just had to find something else to fulfill me. Always being a singer and writing, it was a blessing. My brother started making music that was the kind of music I always saw myself singing.

Lauren Hill, I always have her solo CD nearby. I have Coldplay, Radiohead, just a mix.

The most interesting place I`ve gone on location was New Orleans.

I`m more like an animalistic rock chick.

I went through the process of auditioning like every other struggling actress in this town.

I`m definitely the worker. My brother is the jokester.

Through teaching myself how to be happy and get through things, I hope I can also do that for other people.

We wanted to write a whole song about partying and then taking Yellow Cabs home. That`s the weirdest topic we`ve ever thought of centering a song around.

People call me a human jukebox because I know so many songs. Music`s always been so huge in my life, just putting the radio on and learning songs.

After we wrote The Wreckoning, our record label did listen.

The Wreckoning is a darker song. But the record is positive.

If you are being weird or silly you can be excused because you are just playing a character.

I just get focused on whatever is in front of me. When I was filming Crossroads, it had all my focus. Now I`m all focused on finishing my recording so I can get that out. It`s just day by day.

It was Britney`s movie. I liked that movie. It didn`t get too much love, but a lot of people really liked it.

Some people might say I need to learn how to relax.

I play, in real life, Kim, who is actually Marshall Mathers ex-wife as of now. She lies and says she is pregnant because she really wants to keep him and he figures her out.

It`s actually harder to write a fun song.

I`m not really into movies on dates because you can`t chat it up.

Alison Lohman is an amazing actress. I was so proud to work with her.

When we saw our plane on TV as breaking news, it was the most surreal experience. A lot of the women were crying. There was a gentleman who was writing in his journal and crying. Seeing that isn`t easy.

Even though it seems like there are a lot of parts, there is really tons of downtime in the acting world.

It`s really hard for actors to cross over and get any respect as a singer, and if I could just keep it separate and not use my music in movies, it`s cool.

My dad was a musician and I traveled around with him, so it was something that I knew.

As a brother and sister, our tastes were pretty different growing up. He liked a lot of early hip hop. My dad didn`t understand it and would try to talk him out of it.

Acting, I love it and I feel that I`m good at it, but the thing that makes me feel most alive is when I`m playing guitar and singing.

There`s definitely a whole different vibe on the set when there`s like basically royalty working with us. We could have whatever we wanted. I felt like Britney Spears.

My mom, she`s an herbal vitamin freak.

I would go visit my mom on Sundays, and my brother was working on stuff. I`d go in there and sing a little melody, then we started working with words and the next thing you know it was just born organically without really trying.

There`s really nothing else I`m going to do with my life. I`d be useless if I weren`t singing or acting.

After reading Eminem`s autobiography, which I did because I`m so interested in him as an artist, I respect him a lot. Even though he seems angry and mad, he`s had to fight so many demons in his life.

That`s why I`m an actress, to do something completely opposite from myself.

It could be fun to sing with Prince or Michael Jackson. Justin Timberlake has an amazing new sound now.

I would say our sound is soul pop.

It`s just different in the music world. You come more with an entourage.

My singing is my hobby. It`s me and my brother. We just enjoy writing music.
