Sarah Mlynowski Quotes

The thing I love about Myspace is it's a safe place where I can talk to fans every day.

I guess Twitter is the first thing that has been attractive to me as social media. I never felt the least draw to Facebook or MySpace.

As for my friends, I do have friends that aren't in the entertainment world at all but do interact on social media. I think that's an innate human thing now, to connect via those channels.

Almost all the things you can do online can be enhanced by the social structure of MySpace.

Twitter is essential to me because I wake up and check it religiously. It's a way I communicate with my fan base.
