There's something to be said for being classically trained on piano, but not having your whole makeup be tied to one instrument.

When something goes into the world, you immediately begin to develop another perspective on yourself, another identity.

I don't wear dresses and flowers in my hair and float around!

With us, people caught on to something on our third album, and that will never be repeated. Basically, I don't really have any complaints about the way that Beach House has grown. I feel like we're still in control of what we're doing, and it's a great time in our existence.

I like to hear what other people's interpretations are, because people come up with things I'd never thought about.

For me, it's really day to day. I don't really plan ahead and I like to be excited about what I'm wearing. Being on the road all the time, it's various articles of clothing that keep me inspired and feeling good. A fun or beautiful thing to wear can change your day. I think spontaneity and not adhering to any narrow styles keep me happy.

My hair is a wild, untamable beast! I like letting it grow; my bangs grow whatever way they want and I kind of follow their rule. So side bangs, poof bangs - it's kind of unpredictable.
