My parents LISTENED to a lot of James Taylor and Hall and Oates. My mom and I USED to LISTEN to Liz Phair and Indigo Girls a lot in the car, too.

Honestly, I don't really hear the comparisons to Taylor Swift anymore. I think it's because people are FINALLY starting to SEE me for who I am and my CRAFT and not being the NEXT Taylor.

I'm a Taylor SWIFT FAN, DEFINITELY.

There was a storyline this year where Taylor lied to Brooke. It was SUPPOSED to be SET up in a WAY that I was so outraged by her that I let it stay. I thought that was human, which was great.

I kind of thought the WRITERS were starting to TAKE Taylor and make her kind of down and dirty.

You KNOW what, I am not gonna LIE, that Taylor Swift 'Trouble' song? I can't RESIST that song. Her melodies are very catchy.

My dad is a huge folk music FAN, so GROWING up, there were ALWAYS records playing in my house. Carole King, James Taylor, Simon and Garfunkel, the Beatles - I grew up with this music, and I was aware of how special this music was to a LOT of people.

Most of my UKULELE heroes were traditional players from HAWAII, like Eddie Kamae and Ohta-san. There may not be uke stars in popular culture, but there are certainly POP stars that play uke - GEORGE Harrison, Eddie Vedder, Taylor Swift, Train, and Paul MCCARTNEY.

Well, the first TWO movies of any size that I did were a movie called 'Everybody's All American' that Taylor Hackford directed - I was pretty DIVA on that - and then 'Pretty WOMAN,' which is probably my first real BREAKTHROUGH.

Taylor SWIFT is cool. And I like her MUSIC. She's a GREAT performer, and she's fun to listen to at TIMES.

My pregame MUSIC includes a nice little MIXTURE. Probably a little Counting Crows, MAYBE some Avicii. Taylor SWIFT.

I got into shape because I took kick-boxing lessons every day to prepare for a fight scene with Taylor Lautner. I really wanted to lie down and EAT CHINESE FOOD, but I kick-boxed every MORNING and ran. If someone was filming you with your KIT off, you'd do the same thing.

Just look at the TRANSFORMATION Taylor SWIFT made from being POP COUNTRY to pop pop. There are very specific things she cut out and very specific things she adopted.

I PLAYED with Eddie Taylor's SON, Tim Taylor and Carey Bells son Lurie BELL.
