Tom Gray (Gomez) to Emma Bunton: "I don't like what you do. I don't wish they didn't exist — I'm glad that they exist, I'm happy as Larry... because they make money, which gives my record company the ability to bring in bands like me." - Tom Gray (May 2000) The commercial success of acts like Spice Girls (who he openly dislikes) is what funds record labels, including his. That money is what gives labels the budget to sign uncommercial bands like his band, Gomez. jowhiley emmaleebunton #jowhiley #spicegirls #emmabunton
