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.
I am a true believer that a record should not be a bunch of songs that sound exactly the same.
I have personally been affected by women's reproductive health issues, and I will continue to support that cause and spread awareness about it.
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've always been interested in fashion, and Urban Outfitters presented me with a huge opportunity to pursue that interest.
It's really cool to see how many awesome, badass ladies are out there now just doing their thing and putting their foot down, saying, "Nope. You're not going to tell me I'm doing something women shouldn't be doing." It's a scary time but also I think a really important time. I'm happy to see how much girls are responding to a lot of the other powerful big boys swimming out there right now.
It's important to stay creative.
I think people assume that whatever kind of music you make is the music you listen to. Don't get me wrong, I listen to tons of pop music and all the music that really inspires Best Coast is very straightforward '50s and '60s pop music, but I've been listening to R&B and rap since I was a kid. I grew up in L.A. It's part of the culture. I listen to anything.
I found all these stupid pictures of cats at the beach, and I was like, "They get it, man. They totally get it."
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 feel one step closer to Beyoncé now that we both have our own clothing lines.
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?"
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.
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 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 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 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.
Making music can sometimes make me a bit restless, so it's fun when I get to be expressive in another way.
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.
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.
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 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!
One of my favorite things as a teenage girl was getting dressed up to go to shows.
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.
Getting to be involved with fashion is one of the coolest things I've done.
