KATEY Sagal insists she’ll always play music.

The actress — who stars in FX drama Sons of Anarchy and also voices the character Turanga Leela in the cartoon Futurama — spent a decade touring with such headliners as Bette Midler, Etta James and Bob Dylan.

Sagal, 55, now has her own band and performs around Los Angeles.

“I’ll always play music,” said the star. “I don’t worry too much about making a killing.”

Sagal then discussed Gemma — her character in Sons of Anarchy, which was created by her husband Kurt Sutter.

“He began researching outlaw motorcycle gangs and came up with a great sort of mythology about that world,” Sagal explains. “And during that time, he said, ‘I have a part for you.’ I was excited about it. But I didn’t really know what it was. I don’t think HE knew what it was.

“I knew it was going to be dark and violent, and I was up for that.

“I spent many, many, many years doing a different kind of thing, and I was ready for a change, so ‘Bring it on!’ was what I felt like.”
