“I'll tell you, girl fans were actually pushier than the guys. The guys got scared, because when the five of us were together, we were out of control. If I were in the room with the five of us, I'd leave. It's like a five-headed monster.”

“We got a thumbs-down from every label. But you gotta keep the faith, man. You gotta hang in there and be tenacious.”

“We've been lucky with our music; people have liked it.”

“I had decided on L.A. because I felt like I could handle the cost of living out there. It was just too difficult in San Francisco and New York.”

“The fun image is what we project onstage, because our music is dance music. But it's not what the group is about We're very serious about our music and the band and producing good quality songs.”

“Growing up, getting older, your age - you get to the point where you're comfortable in your own skin, you know who you are.”
