Yay I can't wait to finally meet you Dana! :)

I would love that! That's amazing, I'd love to see the finished product when it's done <3

I never really was. Dante just had me watch their Behind The Music, I totally dig the legacy but I don't really listen to them. I suppose I don't listen to metal in general aside from a few exceptions.

It has been the worst thing to ever happen to the entire music industry. Think about any other product or company. Take Starbucks for example, they make their money off of coffee, right? Now imagine if some asshole figured out how to "illegally download" lattés and capuccinos and everything else on their menu? (humor the silliness for the sake of the example). What would they have left to sell? Mugs? Coffee accessories? (i.e. band merch). Who would buy their coffees if you could press a button and get them for free? Their profits would only be coming from the sales of the non-coffee products and the few good samaritans who still bought coffee the honest way. This is a fraction of the profits they used to make and Starbucks would eventually go out of business.

People who say "I'll illegally download it because they still make money off of touring and merch" ought to be slapped. Think about it, what does this mean for the artist? Where does one sell tickets and merch? Ding! On tour! So if this is the only place an artist makes money -- we'll just be on tour 300 nights out of the year and never see homelife so we can pay our rent! Thanks a freaking lot!

If someone doesn't buy music and thinks they deserve it for free, they lack character and integrity, end of story. Can't afford it? If it were tangible and there was a threat of getting into legal trouble you would not use that excuse, treat it like anything else with a price tag on it.

Your life is meant to fulfill whatever is important to you. You should make the right plan that will bring you closer to your dreams (and really evaluate what those dreams are in every aspect). Don't resent your parents though, I understand your parents' point of view. I live in LA where every last chick on the sidewalk thinks she's going to be a successful working actress when she scores a couple roles as an extra and gets a D list agent. Acting is a craft in a brutal industry like anything else, I started working toward music when I was 12. I would NEVER wake up at 25 and say "I think I'll try to start pursuing a music career today!" having not gone to college because I was someone with college on their radar who always wanted a highly successful career and that's an incredibly irresponsible decision seeing as I'm a very goal-oriented person (of course there are always exceptions). It's something that takes time, dedication and premeditation if you want to set your life up around such a lofty goal. I'm exactly where I want to be career-wise for my age, I put in the hours and hours and heaping amounts of effort and will continue to do so. That's how you have to do it. If I were you, I'd finish what I started, you're already in college, a few years to get a degree under your belt are not going to lower your chances of being a successful actress at this point and you'll have the beautiful gift of education. Maybe consider online college if your career picks up, it's a wonderful way to do both.

Only metaphorically speaking.

Skin and bones was inspired by a friend's struggle with anorexia. I myself have had similar issues in the past but hers were so severe it kind of woke up to how ugly it really is to put ones health in jeopardy because of something that is no less than an addiction or obsession.

I think the lyrics can be related to any addiction or struggle that overcomes our minds.

I would love to make it available in your country and tour there at some point!

Well some of you can assume some. The fact that our album that I got to create with my favorite producer got stripped apart and suddenly released as an EP without enough time or plans for proper promotion. We had people working for us who simply did not ever do their jobs or pick up the phone which got us in a really sticky situation and is the reason we don't have an LP out yet. We had album art we'd never even seen before published in magazines as our own, we were sent on a tour that was so disorganized and unprofessional every other band dropped off of it and we would drive for hours to cancelled shows. We were sent out on that tour with no merch, no funds and no road crew (that wasn't even the bad part) and had to pull out all of the stops just to get through it, it honestly almost broke the band up. I really can't go into too much detail here, these are just a few small examples.

"The Show Must Go On" :)

Not at all. We got our hair cut literally the same week, if you see my recent pictures online I'd been slowly transitioning into this cut from over 8 months ago and finally got the guts to really chop it right around when she apparently did lol.

She is a mogul, a huge success and an inspiration.

It helps you nail pitches and bridge the gap between chest and head voice :)

...and in response to this, a large handful of very successful musicians come from a similar background. It just depends how badly you want it :)

I would say that if you don't already have a career and passion in place, attend college. College is great for discovering more about what you want in a career. If I hadn't already had a band up and running to the point where I would need to tour during my college years, I would have attended. My fabulous ex-guitar player Nick left PMB to attend college, he wanted to learn more about music production and engineering. When he's out in less than two years he'll still be young and able to pursue his music career as he plans, he'll just have a nice degree under his belt that can bail him out at any point in time. It's a smart way to go about it. This way you're not stagnant while decided what you want out of life, you're moving in a forward direction and figuring it out while getting a degree/education. I would only decide against college in a situation where it would come between you and your dream.

The young lady who played Eponine in the movie was also in a stage version, I was so excited to see them give her a shot on the big screen, that was righteous. I actually preferred Anne Hathaway's "I Dreamed a Dream", sometimes they get to operatic in the stage versions and it detracts from the emotion. I thought the way they did the closeup of her face as she sung was beautiful.

Haha I love Hello Kitty and that's really sweet :)

Most definitely

If your answer is anything other than the job you currently have/are working toward, you better go after the one you really want!
