More quotes by Victoria Legrand
I like to find the beauty in the ugly. When I'm in a thrift store, I gravitate toward pieces I know I'll wear a ton, and insane pieces that I'm sure most people would consider gross. But I find them inspiring. Our van is currently stocked with some of my random findings from this tour. Maybe I'll call my aesthetic 'van fashion.

When something goes into the world, you immediately begin to develop another perspective on yourself, another identity.
Victoria Legrand
I really do try to let the identity or voice inside come out.
Victoria Legrand
People who create art would be fools to assume they know exactly what people are going to think of it.
Victoria Legrand
I like to hear what other people's interpretations are, because people come up with things I'd never thought about.
Victoria Legrand
I'm a Gemini, so I'm very dual. I love something and I hate it at the same time, so that probably comes out in the lyrics.
Victoria Legrand
Sometimes people talk about music, whether blogs or magazines, in a strange way where it doesn't seem like they're actually listening to it.
Victoria Legrand
I don't like to read the Internet I'm not aware of what's going on.
Victoria Legrand
We feel more and more intensely about the music we make. It's unexpected, and not always what you would think of in Beach House. It's all art in the end. We aren't making records because we have to it's because it's what we want to express.
Victoria Legrand
But I love the hot sweat. I think overheating onstage is invigorating. It's better than being comfortable. I think being comfortable is the death of a show.
Victoria Legrand
My hair is a wild, untamable beast! I like letting it grow my bangs grow whatever way they want and I kind of follow their rule. So side bangs, poof bangs - it's kind of unpredictable.
Victoria Legrand
I think the voice is an underrated instrument these days and it's easy to make up for lack of ability with effects. I think sometimes people are more wowed with effects than core craftsmanship. Strong voices are not as common as they used to be.
Victoria Legrand
Yeah, it's a lot harder to find a musical partner than a love partner.
Victoria Legrand
Sound is a very unruly thing, and you have to really respect that it's going to differ every time you play.
Victoria Legrand
With us, people caught on to something on our third album, and that will never be repeated. Basically, I don't really have any complaints about the way that Beach House has grown. I feel like we're still in control of what we're doing, and it's a great time in our existence.
Victoria Legrand
It's always about trying to make everything go with the music, like a script. It's not like, 'Let's have a confetti gun!' If I ever have one of those, it will be because it's absolutely the right thing at the moment in the song. I can't just go get a confetti gun.

I was in a Led Zeppelin cover band in high school, and my highlight was playing Misty Mountain Hop at a coffee house in Wayne, Pennsylvania. I wasn't allowed to play any instruments I could only be the singer because I was a girl.
Victoria Legrand
The guys in high school were like, You've got a nice voice you should keep singing, but I never honestly thought that one day I'd be a singer. When you're young, you don't see the signs.
Victoria Legrand
I wouldn't mind doing a soundtrack someday.

I think the Yamaha has a giant quality. When you combine the Yamaha with other organs, you get this crazy rectangular sound. It's kind of flat and thick.
