Obviously, it's great to know that your music is being listened to.

Yeah, it's a lot harder to find a musical partner than a love partner.

I personally do not listen to a lot of music. It helps keep my mind free. I don't want to sound like someone else from the get-go. I want to express myself and the world in my head.

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.

Image
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
Image
I really do try to let the identity or voice inside come out.

There's something to be said for being classically trained on piano, but not having your whole makeup be tied to one instrument.

I don't wear dresses and flowers in my hair and float around!

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.

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'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.

Image
I think sometimes songwriting becomes diluted when you have lots of components to mask a lack of core.

Image
If a psychiatrist would analyze [the lyrics], I'm sure they'd come up with something interesting. I really don't try to twist them. I don't want to slash things.
Victoria Legrand
Image
In general, I think I'm a very private person. But I also love human beings.

For me, it's really day to day. I don't really plan ahead and I like to be excited about what I'm wearing. Being on the road all the time, it's various articles of clothing that keep me inspired and feeling good. A fun or beautiful thing to wear can change your day. I think spontaneity and not adhering to any narrow styles keep me happy.

I don't like to read the Internet I'm not aware of what's going on.

I don't think my vocals demand effects. I like reverb to a certain extent, but I don't want to hide my voice. I like stripped-down vocals, but I also like crazy, powerful, doubled vocals like in dance or electronic music.

When something goes into the world, you immediately begin to develop another perspective on yourself, another identity.
Victoria Legrand
Image
I like to hear what other people's interpretations are, because people come up with things I'd never thought about.

I truly believe that if you think something's stupid, that might mean it's actually good.
