You can't just stand there like every other indie musician and criticize this so-called 'generic' music when you're not doing anything to challenge that.'

My strength as a singer is my versatility. I find it really frustrating when I'm only expected to show off. The music industry is awash with female acrobats. What happens to the song, and treating it for its sake and not as an ego example?

I do focus my energy on music, but it's just the way that the industry works. I kind of have to take what I can get when it comes to acting and show up so they'll hire me. And music I get to do when I have time. It's not that I focus less, it's just the way it works.

The industrial stomach cannot live without coal; industry is a carbonivorous animal and must have its proper food.

Artists are very young, and say, Um, ok, to these industry dudes.

We are proud to play even a small part in helping our industries provide emergency shelter for the victims of this tragedy. It appears that most of the shelters ordered by FEMA have now been produced, but we do expect to see some carryover into 2006.
