I think there's a lot of things that need to be changed in the business.
I wouldn't have been in the mind-set to do another 'Fly.'
Our true fans won't go anywhere. Hopefully they will be open-minded towards how we are growing as musicians and as women.
We're not going to change the world or the music business.
As an artist, your only way to battle your label if you have a discrepancy is to go to court. I don't understand why you can't both agree if you have an accounting problem to have a third party to assess the situation.
I don't think any of us ever trusted Nashville. When you're in that town you know everybody is talking about everybody else. Everybody is wishing for the other guy to fail.
I now recognize that having a great company behind you can actually impact your motivation to be more creative.
Even though we were selling more records than a lot of pop acts, we were being treated like the redheaded stepchildren.
If you're making $10 an hour and you're doing your job and you're doing it well and your check is consistently $8.75 an hour, who wouldn't stand up for themselves?
I love watching live music. It's one of the reasons I love living in Austin, Texas, because there is so much live music.
I connect better with music when I see the people singing it.
Sometimes when our manager calls me and says certain things, we go, 'Oh God, we've gotta do that?'
So many times I've gone to hear bands and thought, 'Oh, I can't wait to be on that stage.'
We were playing shows still when we wrote 'Phoebe' and 'Rock All Night.' We got to test those songs in a live setting, so it was nice recording them and knowing which ones really resonated with the crowd.
I think our core fans have stayed true to us, and I want to thank them for staying with us.
Everyone has their own opinion about what should be on the radio and I think there's room for all different people.
Nothing is as important as standing up for what you believe in.
