Getting to be involved with fashion is one of the coolest things I've done.

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.

Advice I would give to anyone trying to find their own personal style: don't copy anybody, just be yourself, and make your own trends.

I don't think lyrics need to be deep - just write whatever comes out of you. You don't need to find intense meaning in everything.

It's scary when you get to a point where you write these songs that people like, and then you think, "Am I ever going to be able to write something better than that?"

I feel one step closer to Beyoncé now that we both have our own clothing lines.
