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

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.

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

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.

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

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 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.

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 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.

When something goes into the world, you immediately begin to develop another perspective on yourself, another identity.

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.

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

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.

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.
