It's always a struggle to make things sound more or less brilliant.

I truly believe that if you think something's stupid, that might mean it's actually good.

We feel more and more intensely about the music we make. It's unexpected, and not always what you would think of in Beach House. It's all art in the end. We aren't making records because we have to; it's because it's what we want to express.

The guys in high school were like, "You've got a nice voice; you should keep singing," but I never honestly thought that one day I'd be a singer. When you're young, you don't see the signs.

Yeah, it's a lot harder to find a musical partner than a love partner.

Sometimes people talk about music, whether blogs or magazines, in a strange way where it doesn't seem like they're actually listening to it.

I really do try to let the identity or voice inside come out.
