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. – 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. – Taryn Manning
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
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. – Taryn Manning
It could be fun to sing with Prince or Michael Jackson. Justin Timberlake has an amazing new sound now. – Taryn Manning
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. – Taryn Manning
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. – Taryn Manning
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. – Taryn Manning
Even though it seems like there are a lot of parts, there is really tons of downtime in the acting world. – Taryn Manning
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. – Taryn Manning
My dad was a musician and I traveled around with him, so it was something that I knew. – Taryn Manning
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. – Taryn Manning
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. – Taryn Manning
I went through the process of auditioning like every other struggling actress in this town. – Taryn Manning
Lauren Hill, I always have her solo CD nearby. I have Coldplay, Radiohead, just a mix. – Taryn Manning
There’s really nothing else I’m going to do with my life. I’d be useless if I weren’t singing or acting. – Taryn Manning
