#57. With us, people caught on to something on our third album, and that will never be repeated. Basically, I don't really have any complaints about the way that Beach House has grown. I feel like we're still in control of what we're doing, and it's a great time in our existence.

Victoria Legrand

Gerald M. Givens

Quotes About The Existence Of Time #683637

Frederick Lenz

Quotes About The Existence Of Time #729980
