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

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!

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?”

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.

As artists and creative people it’s such an important time to be expressive and be empowering and supportive of people. It is a time where I feel like everyone has to be together and say, “Hey, we’re all going to be okay. We just need to work together.”

I was never really that great at sewing, but I had a good idea of what I wanted things to look like.

Life is inspirational; sometimes it comes from the most unlikely places.

In history and in life one sometimes seems to glimpse a ferocious law which states: to he that has, will be given; from he that has not, will be taken away.

I am quite bolshy, sometimes. I like to get my own way, lets put it like that.

Success sometimes may be defined as a disaster put on hold. Qualified. Has to be.

My acting coach I’ve got here, Richard Lawson, he’s been doing good, just telling me to calm down sometimes and just be me.

There is something really horrific for any human being who feels he is being consumed by other people.

There’s a lot of falses – out there and if I take up for myself, it’s a bad thing. Sometimes you just got to live with it, but for the most part, I’m like look, I don’t want no problems with nobody.

I know when somebody is trying to get something out of me for clicks. And sometimes I feel like giving it to them.
