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 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’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!

I 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.

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

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?

It’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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Song Sound Together
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.”

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.

There 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.

I always get pissed that I can’t make my voice sound like someone from the 50s who had a very girly, innocent voice, like Leslie Gore.

I think what we do is really, at times, a complicated thing. But at the end of the day it’s so important that we make art for people that need to escape reality for a second. That’s what music has always been for me. It’s been a way to tap out of what’s going on in my personal life.

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 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.

I 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.
