“I 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.”

Stevie Nicks has always been my fashion icon, so I wanted to blend her infamous witchy style with the 90s valley girl theme that I was so entranced by as a young girl.

I feel one step closer to Beyoncé now that we both have our own clothing lines.

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.

When you hear designers complaining about the challenge of their profession, you have to say: don’t get carried away-it’s only dresses.

What is the worst is a fashion designer who talks all the time of his or her creativity, what they are, how they evolved. Just do it and shut up.

Ngila Dixon is such an incredible costume designer. She’s such a cool, stylish woman. She has such an understanding of character.

I don’t like to spend a lot of money on designer clothes, but I do like to look good.

A designer is an emerging synthesis of artist, inventor, mechanic, objective economist and evolutionary strategist.

Designer clothes worn by children are like snowsuits worn by adults. Few can carry it off successfully.

The flip side of the coin was that even good programmers and language designers tended to do terrible extensions when they were in the heat of programming, because design is something that is best done slowly and carefully.

If your persona has goals and the product has magical powers to meet them, how simple could the interaction be? This kind of thinking is useful to help designers look outside the box.
