More quotes by 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
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.
Victoria Legrand
It's always a struggle to make things sound more or less brilliant.
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
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 don't like to read the Internet I'm not aware of what's going on.
Victoria Legrand
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.
Victoria Legrand
When something goes into the world, you immediately begin to develop another perspective on yourself, another identity.
Victoria Legrand
I think sometimes songwriting becomes diluted when you have lots of components to mask a lack of core.
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
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
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 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
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
I like to hear what other people's interpretations are, because people come up with things I'd never thought about.
Victoria Legrand
As long as artists can make something, artists will continue to survive.
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
Yeah, it's a lot harder to find a musical partner than a love partner.
Victoria Legrand
I don't wear dresses and flowers in my hair and float around!
