I'm working all the time. When I'm home I try to split my time evenly between resting and preparing for another tour, and writing stuff.

I've always been interested in fashion, and Urban Outfitters presented me with a huge opportunity to pursue that interest.

I found all these stupid pictures of cats at the beach, and I was like, "They get it, man. They totally get it."

I really like New York a lot, but I like it more as a place to visit. It was really difficult for me to live there. As a person from California, I'm still very neurotic and anxious, but in a more laid-back way.

I'd love to have a shoe line, or a sunglasses line, or a purse line. Who am I kidding, I'd like to have an everything line!

I think people assume that whatever kind of music you make is the music you listen to. Don't get me wrong, I listen to tons of pop music and all the music that really inspires Best Coast is very straightforward '50s and '60s pop music, but I've been listening to R&B and rap since I was a kid. I grew up in L.A. It's part of the culture. I listen to anything.

I always get pissed that I can't make my voice sound like someone from the 50s who had a very girly, innocent voice, like Leslie Gore.
