I don’t know how well we knew that at the time, but certainly that’s where we were poised. There are all kinds of sub-texts, when you look at ‘Sweet Dreams’, what it refers to and the planet and the natural world and taking the cow and having this creature juxtaposed within this … on the one hand it’s like nature and on the other hand it’s industry and the other hand it’s entertainment. ‘Sweet Dreams’ is like a mantra. ‘Sweet Dreams’ is not really like a normal song. It’s a statement about humanity and the human condition and it’s just saying we’re all in this dilemma, we’re born and we exist and we have our motivation which will take you here or it will take you there and everybody’s looking for something. That is a truth. It’s something that will last for ever.

Do I think Annie is sexy in that video? Yeah, I do, but she doesn't need to shove it in our face, her confidence and poise makes her even sexier to me than Miley.
