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

I studied voice and piano as a child, although, at least with voice, you start over at puberty, because your voice completely changes.

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.

Sound is a very unruly thing, and you have to really respect that it's going to differ every time you play.

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.

As you get older you realise that nothing lasts forever. It's not depressing, but it does make moments more intense.

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