Jamie and I are like a ridiculous married old couple,” Mosshart says. “Being together is like being alone in the sweetest way possible.
I think, when I moved, it even surprised him,” she continues. “I think he was in shock, like he thought I was a stalker. I used to do really weird things, like sit outside his window and listen to him play guitar. I was there, but I was too shy to say I was there. I wasn’t trying to be creepy, but I was, like, fascinated by him. Beyond. We totally lived in a bubble, didn’t leave his room, ate toast and drank coffee and just laughed. It was perfect.

We’ve become more psychically linked with each other. You wake up in the morning and just know by the way someone blinks whether to stay away from them, or whether they want some support, or whether there’s going to be inspiration to write a song. We can read each other much, much better these days. We’ve never imposed rules on each other. From day one we’ve always been allowed to scream blue murder at each other so there’s not any censorship involved. I think that’s helped our friendship a lot. There’s no kind of politeness involved either. We just behave however we like to each other. If we feel angry then the other person gets the other end of that person’s wrath. There is a hell of a lot of catharsis in our friendship.
I speak to Alison so much, as you can imagine. I’ve called her and talked to her and screamed at her so much. We’ve cried, we’ve laughed, and I know every tiny aspect of her voice, and all of those aspects I want to hear in my band.

I was in a bar and she walked in with some friends of mine. She was very soft, very quiet, very very quiet, very sort of quietly spoken, incredibly polite and timid.
And I could see for one reason or another… I didn’t know at the time whether it was particular to me or just a general thing but I could see that she was in some way overwhelmed by me.
