More quotes by 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
I don't like to read the Internet I'm not aware of what's going on.
Victoria Legrand
I think sometimes songwriting becomes diluted when you have lots of components to mask a lack of core.
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
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
In general, I think I'm a very private person. But I also love human beings.
Victoria Legrand
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
Yeah, it's a lot harder to find a musical partner than a love partner.
Victoria Legrand
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.
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
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.
Victoria Legrand
I truly believe that if you think something's stupid, that might mean it's actually good.
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
I don't wear dresses and flowers in my hair and float around!
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
As long as artists can make something, artists will continue to survive.
Victoria Legrand
Obviously, it's great to know that your music is being listened to.
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 wouldn't mind doing a soundtrack someday.
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.
