The only reason you even start a band is so you can hang out with your friends all the time, but somewhere along the line, it just ends up becoming a job.

I think I ended up on 'People”s '50 Most Beautiful People' list just because of eyeliner, which is kind of a bummer. But if you do find the right color, it will make your eyes pop.
