In L.A., retro culture is just part of the thing you do. When we were kids, we didn't have allowances, and it was not cool to wear designer clothes. So it meant that we were into 1920s dresses when we were 13.

My advice to new artists is to embrace a broader concept of timelessness than vintage or retro.

So I like that sound, but I am not interested in being retro.

Our culture's obsession with vintage objects has rendered us unable to separate history from nostalgia. People want heart. They want a chaser of emotion with their aesthetics.

I still like my antique clothes.

I really believe it's not bad to look back within music. I don't mean retro, but using your own memories to make a song because our memories are what make us who we are.

I tend to like antique things. Something can be old, but it can be timeless.

A lot of my collections are informed by nostalgia. I think that's because I loved clothes early on. I remember, at maybe age five, being concerned about what I wore, right down to the underwear.

Everything I buy is vintage and smells funny. Maybe that's why I don't have a boyfriend.

I've lived long enough to know things go in and out of fashion, and things not well received now can be totally reversed years later.
