artists benefit break came dawn grassroots happen helped sort
I sort of came out at the dawn of the Internet in the mid-90s and I think it helped break my career. I think I was one of the first artists to really benefit from the grassroots swell that can happen online. I don't know if I would have broken out without it.
american-musician respect writers
The writers I respect the most had an undying commitment to a vision.
home
I moved out of home when I was 15.
american-musician hard kids
I think when kids just see well-crafted poetry, it's just obtuse to them. It's hard to relate to.
american-musician theory
I have this theory- that if we're told we're bad, then that's the only ideal we'll ever have.
eat family kids research school self-esteem shows sit
I think family mealtime is really important. There's a lot of research that shows kids are going to do better in school and have more self-esteem if you can all sit down and eat together.
balance focus good home husband kept lives lucky people work
My husband and I have kept a good balance between the work and the rest. I feel so lucky having a job, and I know so may people who focus too much on work, and their home lives suffer.
american-musician
I tend to eat what I want, which probably isn't good.
associated good hold positive
'Firefly' was and always will be such a positive thing for me. I hold a lot of really good memories associated to that show.
amazing dream great run shot time
I had an amazing time on 'Stargate: Atlantis', and a really great run on that show, which was shot in my hometown. It was kind of a dream job.
along bad came fell hits life network plug pulled somehow viewers
I think 'Teenage Wasteland' was one of those cult hits like 'My So-Called Life', something that came along and got a lot of viewers and then somehow fell into a bad timeslot that nobody ever watched, and then the network pulled the plug prematurely.
desire direct easier trust
I have no desire to direct at all. I know how much pressure it is, and, trust me, it's so much easier and so much more fun to be an actor.
characters genre great women
The sci-fi genre just happens to have a lot of really great characters for women.
job love luckiest planet rush time work
My job is never boring. It's always new, exciting, and challenging, and I get a rush every time I go to work. I'm the luckiest person on the planet to be able to do what I love for a living.
