Theresa Wayman Citas

• I think sometimes when people get older they start to limit themselves and think that if they wanted to start singing or they wanted to start playing guitar or if they wanted to, I don't know...become an archeologist - whatever it is, they think they just can't do it anymore because they've hit a certain age and I just think that's like putting yourself in jail. I realised a couple of years ago that the more that I did and made things and created things that I could love; it helped me to realise that I was actually loving myself and what came out of me.

• I wish Kurt Cobain didn't die. I really don't know where he'd be right now, I don't know what he'd be like. I just like to fantasize that he would like our band and he would know what we were up to.

• I think the best thing about music is that someone could be writing a song that's so personal, and it tells so many other people's story at the same time. It kind of exemplifies that we are all kind of on the same wave[length] - it's amazing how comforting somebody else's story can be, because we have experienced their story in some way or another, and I can totally relate, and I get to feel that feeling and the expression of that emotion. I get to feel like as a listener, that somebody understands me, which is pretty incredible.

• I feel so lucky to have found two other, now three other musicians, that I can absolutely communicate with musically and believe in what they're doing almost 100% of the time. I've talked to a few [other] people in bands and that just isn't always the case.

• So basically, it just really represents our band and we didn't even think about that when we decided to call it 'Warpaint'. And then through getting asked questions about "why is that song called 'Warpaint'?" - then we realised, "oh my god! THAT'S why!" And we didn't even know why... but that's why! And then 'Shadows' is just... I love that song and it's personal to me. I love how it turned out!!

• That's very hard because there's three of them that mean a LOT to me equally. 'Lissie's Heart Murmur' was one of the first songs that we ever wrote - it was one of the first songs, at the very very very beginning of our band and I've always wanted to see and hear that song recorded and turned into something and it finally was and is!

• I think that we just take our time with everything. We don't feel that there's a rush to become something that we're not yet. We like to really feel things out and know what we're doing. We hadn't ever really played a lot of shows live after we released our EP, and that's when we started doing it - we started playing out live consistently right after we released our EP and we got a new drummer because Shannyn [Sossamon] had quit.

• I feel like that for the next album, we're going to know what we're doing for each song even more than what we did for this one, just because we'll have really fleshed them out as a band before recording.

• Shannon y todos nosotros empezamos la banda, así que fue algo muy natural, y luego ella lo dejó, y luego volvió, y luego lo volvió a dejar. Me encanta trabajar con ella y lo haría de nuevo, pero eso no está en las cartas. Y Josh es una gran persona con la que tocar, puede tocar cualquier instrumento. Es muy inspirador y positivo. Fue genial. Estaba destinado a ser temporal.

• Like, a song could be really tricky and intricate and be really intellectually stimulating, but I don't think that's the song that that I'm going to throw on 80% of the time. The songs that I really want to listen to are the ones that I can really feel.

• Definitivamente necesitábamos pasar un buen año para encontrarnos a nosotros mismos antes de que nadie se fijara en nosotros. Teníamos una base de fans cada vez mayor aquí en Los Ángeles, pero ni siquiera me hubiera gustado que viniera a vernos alguien de un sello discográfico o algo así en ese momento, porque realmente necesitábamos sentirnos como una banda en vivo.

• We don't have a lot of time to practice, but yeah, we need to find a keyboard over there, or else I need to bring one. We're intending to do so. I don't want to let you down and say that we 100% are, but yes, we're intending to do so.

• So, it just seemed like it happened naturally. We nailed our live show to some extent in a year or about a year and a half, maybe just a year of playing songs pretty much around L.A. then we went and scheduled a mini-tour up-state on the West Coast and that's when the whole Rough Trade [Records] thing started happening and from there, things just happened so quick. It changed really quickly.

• Aún no hemos empezado a tocarla en directo, pero lo haremos. Y luego 'Warpaint' es una canción que es muy, muy cercana a mí porque es en realidad - hemos tenido esa canción desde hace muchos años y ha cambiado tantas veces, ha pasado por cada reencarnación de nuestra banda con cada baterista, a veces conmigo tocando la batería, fue cuando éramos un trío, cada encarnación de la banda que hemos tenido hemos tocado esa canción.

• I think the most note-worthy part is that Stella [Mozgawa] had joined the band two weeks before we started recording, so that really influenced the way that the album was recorded. It was really important for Stella and Jen[ny Lee Lindberg] to lay down the drums and bass first for most songs, because they were determining how they needed to lock in together, and Stella was still kind of learning and figuring out her parts.

• We are probably the most frustrating band to soundcheck because we always go off on jams and our sound-man is sitting there going: "oh god, I don't want to interrupt this, but... we've got to get things moving along..." We're just easily distracted because we want to be writing all the time!

• Puedo decir que es nuestro punto de referencia, y creo que eso nos hace diferentes de algunas bandas y también similares a otras. Pero es sólo ese espíritu, una especie de espíritu punk, pero no en el sentido de "estoy aquí y voy a ponerme a dar caña y a hacer sangre en el escenario", sino que no vamos a hacer caso a las normas y a los roles ya establecidos. Sólo queremos hacer música sincera, que nos haga sentir bien y que suene bien a nuestros oídos, y esperamos que también a los de muchos otros.
