Ticket to Hollywood: I came to L.A. from Phoenix at 17 to become a musician. But I decided to focus on acting and keep writing music for myself. You know those black-and-white composition notebooks? I have 100 of them. Some of it is so embarrassing! I wanted to be Lauryn Hill. Now I read them and I'm like, Who do you think you are?

Born this way: I was that kid in the grocery store who was hitting Björk notes. No one could stop me!

String theory: I bought myself a guitar in Montreal, where we filmed X-Men. It was a bit of a Hell yeah, you're Storm! moment.
