Quotes

  • It has become this really beautiful network of people, both professional and amateur, that just come together to have a good time depending on what city we're in.
  • For us the Dresden Dolls were porcelain dolls that were made in that city at the time, that is what they were to us, and also a reference in Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut, and in a song by The Fall.

  • We are a lot more alike than we are different and it's important to remember that.
