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.

More quotes by 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'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
I truly believe that if you think something's stupid, that might mean it's actually good.
Victoria Legrand
I really do try to let the identity or voice inside come out.
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.

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
When something goes into the world, you immediately begin to develop another perspective on yourself, another identity.
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
Sound is a very unruly thing, and you have to really respect that it's going to differ every time you play.
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
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 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.
Victoria Legrand
As long as artists can make something, artists will continue to survive.
Victoria Legrand
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.
Victoria Legrand
In general, I think I'm a very private person. But I also love human beings.
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
It's always a struggle to make things sound more or less brilliant.
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 think sometimes songwriting becomes diluted when you have lots of components to mask a lack of core.
