When you listen to most of the records that really had an impact on you, they always seem to be from a different era.
Both my parents were huge stars. I would never have attempted to become as big of stars as they were because they lived in a different era.
We had a black and white telly in the corner of the room that had three channels. There was nothing to keep you around the house. It was a different time.
I'm going to leave WWII. I considered and rejected doing something on the Pacific. Fourteen years is enough. I'd like to take on a different challenge and probably a different era. But it will be another war. It's what I do.

It's not so much the dressing up, but I love the idea of moving and existing in a different time.
Each collected edition of Paper Girls that we put out will largely be set in an entirely different era.
