Emm: So how do you find the time to write and do live shows?
Ursula: You know, having the standardized family unit which is mother, father and children, really helps Because when I go away, if dad doesn’t come with me, then he stays here and holds down the fort. But when he goes with me then my mother usually picks up the slack. But you know, it’s a challenge. I’m still not pulling in the bank enough to have a nanny, which would be nice one day, but I still have not reached that point. So hopefully one day I can scrape enough together and maybe do that and then it will be a little easier. And maybe I can take them with me sometimes.

Emm: When you tour, will you have a live band backing you up or a DJ, or is it just you?
Ursula: It’s normally just me and a guitarist. But for this time out I’m going to be working with the drummer. Hopefully everything will work out with that ,because it’s not an easy thing. I mean I’ve worked with the drummer before but not for a while.

Emm: Will you do a U. S. tour?
Ursula: I’m going to try to do it in January, I hope I get at least a week and a half or something. I’ve talked to a lot of people, so hopefully we can get something together. A lot of people ask me if I am better received in Europe? It’s like no, I mean I just do more shows in Europe, but it’s not necessarily that the reception is better. When I do shows in the United States it’s good, it’s the same because people pretty much know what they’re coming out to experience and everybody's open. So I ‘d just love to be able to do more stuff here.
