“I buy most of my clothes online, I just sit around and look at websites and say ‘oh that looks cute’ – and then I just buy it and hopefully it fits because buying stuff online is always sort of risky.”

I don’t really listen to a lot of 90s alternative indie female stuff anymore, but I loved Liz Phair and Kim Deal when I was younger.

That, 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.

I am a true believer that a record should not be a bunch of songs that sound exactly the same.

Getting to be involved with fashion is one of the coolest things I’ve done.

We 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.

I think it will be fun to not only play new music, but to get to play different instruments on-stage.

I 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?

I have personally been affected by women’s reproductive health issues, and I will continue to support that cause and spread awareness about it.

Touring 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.

One of the cooler moments of my life was sitting front row at Helmut Lang!

I’m working all the time. When I’m home I try to split my time evenly between resting and preparing for another tour, and writing stuff.

I’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!

Making music can sometimes make me a bit restless, so it’s fun when I get to be expressive in another way.

Advice I would give to anyone trying to find their own personal style: don’t copy anybody, just be yourself, and make your own trends.

My favorite record of all time is Fleetwood Mac’s Tusk. It’s made up of a bunch of songs that don’t really sound the same, but they all go really well together.

It’s scary when you get to a point where you write these songs that people like, and then you think, “Am I ever going to be able to write something better than that?”

My everyday look has definitely become more low maintenance, but accessories are everything.

I won`t cry for you, my mascara`s too expensive.

A structured bag, statement jewelry or a cute scarf can add polish to any outfit!

Of course there’s a lot of knowledge in universities: the freshmen bring a little in; the seniors don’t take much away, so knowledge sort of accumulates.

I was probably the only professed revolutionary ever referred to as “cute.”

People hate people who are good at things. People hate people who are cute.

It’s OK to do cute little things like kissing a turtle, but you can’t kiss another person because he’s a different color? Give me a break. And you have to remember, I’m from Dallas, Texas.

Katy Perry still gets me every time. She’s very funny in person! We met at the Teen Choice Awards and she pulled my cheeks apart and told me how cute I was. My life was literally flashing before my eyes!
