My dissertation was on the idea of feminine-themed women's magazines, so like how the ideal woman is put across by women's magazines.

It was always very important for us that we presented ourselves as a band, because it's a three-part writing process and it's a three-part decision making process, it's not two producer guys and a girl that sings the songs. It's startling how many people make that assumption.

I think in reading a few sentences of text you can just tell the tone, and that's something I love in prose writers.

I have a personal Twitter for band purposes, but I don't use social media a lot. I fall in a weird age gap. I was on band message boards when I was 16, but I was on the early curve of Facebook. I did it for work when I worked in media, and I did it for the band, but I can't relate to the idea that you live your life online.

I've definitely read interviews with people where they've explained exactly what they wrote something about and I've been like: "Oh no, I was thinking that was a really beautiful love song or a really sad thing."

Internet has been really amazing, and I think it's a place of great passion, creativity, and knowledge.

I think a lot of people spend a lot of time talking about what they hate rather than what they love. I don't want to get trapped in that.
