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.

BETHANY COSENTINOI 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.
BETHANY COSENTINOThere 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 COSENTINOOne of the cooler moments of my life was sitting front row at Helmut Lang!
BETHANY COSENTINOI 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.
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 COSENTINOI feel one step closer to Beyoncé now that we both have our own clothing lines.
BETHANY COSENTINOAs 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.”
BETHANY COSENTINOIt’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?”
BETHANY COSENTINOI like the 50s, party-movie aesthetic of the beach. I’m not really into modern-day beach.
BETHANY COSENTINOI found all these stupid pictures of cats at the beach, and I was like, “They get it, man. They totally get it.”
BETHANY COSENTINOI 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.
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 COSENTINOGetting to be involved with fashion is one of the coolest things I’ve done.
BETHANY COSENTINOI went to school for a short period of time to study fashion. I wanted to become a stylist or a designer. I made clothes when I was a teenager that I used to sell online. My label name was “Baby Jesus” – so incredibly stupid, but whatever, I was 17!
BETHANY COSENTINOMy 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.
