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.

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.

Twitter has to be about art. It can't be about banal things. Banal things and art are two different worlds.

I hate it when bands change between records. They're thinking before they make music.

It's great when a huge amount of money goes from a dumb corporation into the hands of an awesome band with brilliant ideas who can use it to keep being a band for a year, as opposed to a band that's already huge taking one of those things - that's more pathetic.

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.
