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.

More quotes by 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
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
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
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.

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
I think sometimes songwriting becomes diluted when you have lots of components to mask a lack of core.
Victoria Legrand
I wouldn't mind doing a soundtrack someday.
Victoria Legrand
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.
Victoria Legrand
I studied voice and piano as a child, although, at least with voice, you start over at puberty, because your voice completely changes.
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
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
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
I really do try to let the identity or voice inside come out.
Victoria Legrand
I don't like to read the Internet I'm not aware of what's going on.
Victoria Legrand
There's something to be said for being classically trained on piano, but not having your whole makeup be tied to one instrument.
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
As you get older you realise that nothing lasts forever. It's not depressing, but it does make moments more intense.
Victoria Legrand
I don't wear dresses and flowers in my hair and float around!
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.

As long as artists can make something, artists will continue to survive.
