All bands are in danger of losing their identity. Constantly.

It's really boring to talk about what you ate and have 48,000 fans listen to you. It's awful.

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 shows are the main way our lives have changed.

Art is what gets communicated at a live show, which is why live shows are so amazing. To communicate in a different way is a mixed message. It devalues everything.

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.

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.
