"Every band is different just because of the different combinations of people really are super unique to every band. The way you work together and the personalities that are being brought to the table. Our band is definitely the best combination of personalities I've worked with so far."
"I think music is just a great place to focus your energy and your feelings. If you're young, you can take all that stuff that you feel so intensely about - especially these days, but I'm not going to go there - but to take all those feelings and put them into music was such a big deal for me to be able to play punk rock songs. It was such a release for me. It's a good thing for parents to support that."

"I'm just a wimpy baby. We almost called the band Forever Teens because I feel like we're all kind of permanently youthful."
"We all just really love teen movies and teen music and I've just always been fixated on that, so I'm just kind of immature about that kind of stuff still."
"Bands are like relationships, you know. You are kind of in a relationship with a bunch of people at one time, but this feels like a relationship that is actually working."
"I like to look up the formal definitions of words that I'm already familiar with and sometimes you find out a word means something you didn't already think of, you know? I looked up the definition of "upset" and it was something like, "To be filled with uneasiness and anxiety," and I feel like that all the time, so I was like, "That's appropriate." But also it's a name that when you hear it, you wouldn't assume that it's any certain type of band. It kind of has room to grow into and make it redefine the word."
"I definitely like being in bands with other women because it's just, I don't know, it's just better."
