“As pop songs, the early stuff like Electricity' and Enola Gay' were such inspirations to Gwen and I, especially melodically. They inspired us to try and do our own John Hughes prom-scene movie moment kind of songs.”

“In our minds maybe we think we're younger than we actually are.”

“Just A Girl' was the first song that was on the radio for us. That was incredible because to hear that song on KROQ-FM in L.A., where we grew up, and you've listened to KROQ your whole life, and then to hear it on the radio was unbelievable.”

“For example, it's only about 20 years ago the people in that community would have got telephone lines, and it would be only about in the 1950s that electricity came to that part of the world. Television wouldn't have come till 1970.”

“The kingdom of heaven is like electricity. You don't see it. It is within you.”

“It was important to feel that you were resisting the fascism around you. But we had no electricity to watch movies. We were imagining our movies.”
