We've had a great turnout. We're very pleased. It's bigger than last year.

A first for Consumption, I think, We're playing stripped-down acoustic, which is how our songs start... .Just Gina and a guitar.

Our music, specifically, is hard to put into a genre, we've been told. Working with so many different bass players has helped us home in on the style and sound we've been looking for...and nine would be the number on that, by the way.

I learned a lot from Ana Ortiz, who plays my sister in 'Sleeping with the Fishes'.

I felt very vulnerable after 'Sleeping with the Fishes'; I gained weight for the role. I felt a bit out of my skin in the movie, and it was hard to watch.

A distant cousin sent me some genealogy report on my father's side, and it's sort of what I suspected. Coal miners for generations... four or maybe five generations.
