It's always a struggle to make things sound more or less brilliant.

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.

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

People who create art would be fools to assume they know exactly what people are going to think of it.

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

In general, I think I'm a very private person. But I also love human beings.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

I like to hear what other people's interpretations are, because people come up with things I'd never thought about.

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

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.

I wouldn't mind doing a soundtrack someday.

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 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 studied voice and piano as a child, although, at least with voice, you start over at puberty, because your voice completely changes.
