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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I would say our sound is soul pop.

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

I'm more like an animalistic rock chick.

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

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

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

It was Britney's movie. I liked that movie. It didn't get too much love, but a lot of people really liked it.
Taryn Manning

It's actually harder to write a fun song.

It's just different in the music world. You come more with an entourage.
Taryn Manning

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.
