"Rock 'n' Roll can't die, for a multitude of reasons: one of them being it's one of the original forms of music. It's one of the original art forms: it stems from the Blues; it includes everything. Rock 'n' Roll is the Blues: it's Jazz, it's Country, it's Pop, it's Hip-hop, it's Folk, and it's Bluegrass; it's literally every form of music combined into one... They're just incorrect, because they're looking at something from a mainstream perspective; Rock was never in the mainstream. It's had its moments in the sun, where it takes over; but in general, it's very cyclical. If you look at history, the 60s and the 70s, there was a renaissance, where all these artists and bands came out; and they were speaking for the generation, they're speaking for the time, and it overtook everything. Then the 80s came in, and Rock started to bend a little bit more toward the Pop vein of things, and Pop overtook everything again. And then the 90s and the Grunge scene, just so honest, and so raw, and so emotionally connected... I don't even know how to process what I just heard... So it has its moments where it shines, but it's never gone. I always just say Rock is resting, and it's just waiting for the fans. It's soul music. I need it the same way I need food and water, and oxygen. It's a part of who I am. And without it, I don't feel like myself; I don't feel complete as a person. So I don't think it's something can ever disappear.
Competition
is
something that forces you to examine yourself and make yourself better,
and pushes you forward. It doesn't necessarily have to come from a
negative standpoint. And we're all competitive here. I think competition is
a really healthy thing. It's a very necessary thing. And when it gets
related to women, people tend to equate it to
girl fights. I'm very
supportive of everything you do."

"Rock never goes away, it's a constant; and the Genre is we're not chasing trends. There are a lot of different genres, especially things that go over the top; and anything that's a shining light right now. But such a stuff burns, and then it fades away... We're underground, we just keep doing what we're doing. Rock cannot die if it never goes away. It's not a niche genre; it's primal, and it's necessary, and needed more now than ever in the world.
When we got signed and were starting to pitch stuff to radio, I can't tell you how many times the program director would be like 'well, we've already got one, we've already got our token girl on the Rock radio'. And it means a lot to us because of the very same question: where we were coming up in the scene believing 'oh, we're all in competition, and we should be'. And when we finally got here and arrived... that's not true. Any girl who actually thinks that way: it's just because she's been so incredibly beaten down and insecure about what she does. Well, there's definitely friendly competition. You want the feeling, it's not just about praise, I want to see hands in the air."Кралицата на рока...
