There are days where I turn on the TV or I look at the news and I’m like, “I want to go to Mars. This is insane.” But I can’t go to Mars! I need to face reality and just to have some hope.

BETHANY COSENTINOGetting to be involved with fashion is one of the coolest things I’ve done.
BETHANY COSENTINOI am a true believer that a record should not be a bunch of songs that sound exactly the same.
BETHANY COSENTINOWe went from being a band that was recording songs in my bandmate’s bedroom to a band that’s doing extensive touring and had a record on the Billboard charts and everything happened insanely fast, but it’s not something that I sought out. It just happened.
BETHANY COSENTINOI’ve always been interested in fashion, and Urban Outfitters presented me with a huge opportunity to pursue that interest.
BETHANY COSENTINOI 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.
BETHANY COSENTINOI love clothes so much, I always have. It’s awesome to have designers invite me to their shows and openings and send me samples of their work.
BETHANY COSENTINOIt’s very strange that people would consider me a fashion muse but it’s also flattering. I try to just be myself, and wear what’s comfortable and makes me feel good.
BETHANY COSENTINOI think it will be fun to not only play new music, but to get to play different instruments on-stage.
BETHANY COSENTINOI’d love to have a shoe line, or a sunglasses line, or a purse line. Who am I kidding, I’d like to have an everything line!
BETHANY COSENTINOI don’t really pay too much attention to designers, I know what I like and I just try to find it, and I always try to find a cheaper deal because I have a tendency to be a cheapskate sometimes.
BETHANY COSENTINOThat, to me, is what I feel like is the future. If I have a daughter, if you have a daughter, becoming that ideal where it’s not about your gender; it’s about us being human, being in this together.
BETHANY COSENTINOI was looking at pictures of cats laying out on the beach and I thought, “Cats hate water, so why would they like the beach?” But then I realized that cats like to just lay around and lounge and be lazy, and what better place to do that than on the beach?
BETHANY COSENTINOThere are a shitload of songs about being in love with someone who doesn’t love you back and I talk about weed and my cat and being lazy a lot.
BETHANY COSENTINOAdvice I would give to anyone trying to find their own personal style: don’t copy anybody, just be yourself, and make your own trends.
BETHANY COSENTINOTouring is definitely work. You’re spending a lot of time in the car and around the same people and it’s not the easiest thing in the world, but it’s better than working a 9-to-5 job or something.
