Golden Globe nominee Sienna Miller plays a starring role in the upcoming Ben Affleck  movie Live By Night. The New York-born actress says that music is an essential part of her life – and her acting.

“My father is very much into music and as I grew up he gave me a very good, diverse musical education that I’m trying to pass onto my daughter. So we do an album a week in the bath. She can now sing along to the whole of Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys. We’re now in a Smiths phase which I love. But we listen to classical, to Django Reinhardt, blues, Billie Holiday, old stuff, Leadbelly. All over the place. I think nothing has the power to transform my mood like music. I can’t imagine a world without it. And for every character I play I make a playlist – it really helps transform me. Unfortunately it does ruin the song, ‘cause now if I hear certain things that I’ve used it just takes me straight back to a place that might be complicated. My musical taste is very eclectic, but if I have to choose a favorite I have to go to The Beatles."
