Now in a way, money is money, and if it's going to increase our audience, that's fine.
When it comes to the recording and writing, it's still mostly Mickey and I. But now there's this whole live entity that's a whole different thing, and it seems to be where we're gaining the most popularity.

I think anyone that isn't fired up right now shouldn't probably be out here.
Golf is my boyfriend right now.
I only get to spend about six to eight weeks in Australia now and I really miss my family and friends.
Right now I'm still only 25 and I don't think the maternal bug has hit me yet.
