Interview: She's not a Deadhead
On the Documentary I started [shooting footage] around when I was just finishing college, without intention of really knowing what I was doing... recording recording sessions or jam sessions, backstage and onstage.... It wasn't until a couple of years ago at my father's urging that we started thinking of this as a project. ...And I thought, "Well, if I could somehow stitch all this together and maybe shoot some interviews... be it more documentary style, maybe we could have something." So I brought that back to [my dad] and he said, "No, honey, I'm not sure about this talking thing.

Streetscenes: No Thanks
Melissa Byrne College of General Studies, '03 "I've been in situations where you've gotta hand out and be active at protests where people are actually organizing against you, so I mean this is a piece of cake.... I mean, whatever, if someone doesn't take it... it's not a big deal." "I'm not seeking their approval, so I mean, they're not rejecting me, they're just showing their own ignorance and their own stubbornness.... You're at this university--such a privilege to be at this university--either as a student or as a professor, and if you're not being open-minded to other people's ideas, then it's a shame that you're here because there are other people who could be doing and enjoying this place a lot more than you as you're walking down and like, being in your own world because you're better than everyone else." "Keep your mind open.... These aren't freaks coming out of nowhere.... Most of the stuff is all grounded in truth--it's the way you look at it.
