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.”
- “That is the spirit of the music: to not leave anyone out, to be inclusive.”

And that is truly the most empowering stance for a woman to take is to not have to comply either way because of a mans expectations of her.”
- “Music is one of those things that brings great joy to people, singing is a sort of unifier of people, no matter what political place or original place you come from.”
- “We are a lot more alike than we are different and it's important to remember that.”
