Artists have to survive.

It's the most dangerous world for bands nowadays because everybody's branding and trying to steal your vibe as soon as you do anything that anyone cares about. It's very weird.

We do say no to a lot, but we also say yes; I find ways of coming to peace with certain things. Sometimes a writer or actor will reach out and make it very personal.

We almost don't want to play bigger shows than where we are now. It's kind of perfect.

I feel really comfortable playing to people who've never heard Beach House before. We've always had fun opening because you get to try to impress people.

The decisions you make can be upsetting to fans. I've experienced that, as a listener, looking at artists I've admired. It's sensitive. We really consider the idea of natural growth versus unnatural leaps.

Sometimes, for bands, everything just happens too fast.
