People put stock in someone being in a 'girl group,' but we don't say that a band is a 'man group.'

Also, we're all actually different blood types and we have one represented by each guy in the band.

What I learned then was there is a certain power in a three piece band. The more people you put on that stage, the more diluted it becomes.

It's tragic that you can define a whole movement in music by gender alone. People are like, 'Oh, look, another quirky girl.'

But it can be hard to experiment when you're in a band.

Bands are about these little relationships that make everything tick, and when you create new music you're testing those relationships.

Male and female represent the two sides of the great radical dualism. But in fact they are perpetually passing into one another. Fluid hardens to solid, solid rushes to fluid. There is no wholly masculine man, no purely feminine woman.

I think of masculine and feminine energy like two sides to a battery. There's a plus side and a minus side, and in order to make something turn on, you need to have opposites touching. It's the same in relationships.

There is a certain element of complementarity between men and women that is biological by nature.
