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.

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

I don't think it's inherently wrong when bands do certain things - sometimes I'm really excited when I see a band has taken a big ad or sync.

The shows are the main way our lives have changed.

Honestly, I hate Facebook - it has nothing on Myspace. I loved how weird and crappy and wild and trashy it was. Then there was the whole culture of pimping out your Myspace page. I remember spending 10 hours one day learning how to make our Myspace page look more like a message board from the mid-90s.

When I'm on a stage, I don't feel like this dude who's sitting here drinking Amstel Lights. I'm trying to temporarily become something else that can deliver a feeling.

Sometimes, for bands, everything just happens too fast.
