Lykke Li Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Lykke Li:

Sometimes when I write songs, I don't know what they're about, and it just suddenly comes to me.

I'm not so interested in being indie just for the sake of being indie.

Lykke Li

Sometimes when I write songs, I don't know what they're about, and it just suddenly comes to me.

Lykke Li

I think pop culture underestimates people. The message is, 'Being yourself is the worst thing you could possibly be.' But people are still attracted to it.

Lykke Li

I'm a vagabond. I live out of one suitcase. I feel very comfortable in black. I feel very uncomfortable in anything else than black.

Lykke Li

It's a very proactive thing to be dealing with your darkness and getting it out of your system. So it doesn't have to be in your system.

Lykke Li

My dream is to one day just be me and my guitar. I'm working myself to the core. Who am I, underneath everything else? I'm still on that journey, to find that core.

Lykke Li

I want people to have a good time. It's boring only to hear singer/songwriters spilling their guts.

Lykke Li

The first thing you do when you get off tour is let off some steam and, you know, have some type of big breakdown.

Lykke Li

I used to get really sick. I would go to the doctor with all these ailments, and they would tell me I needed to be at home. I didn't even really understand what that meant because since I was a baby, I've always been moving, moving, and then touring.

Lykke Li

When I was very little, I was into Michael Jackson. At six or seven, it was Madonna, but she's not what she used to be. I've been into everything from Edith Piaf to Joe Strummer to the Velvet Underground to Suicide to A Tribe Called Quest to African music.

Lykke Li

Where I've been hasn't influenced my music. It's more what I listen to. You can find music everywhere, so moving hasn't really influenced my music, more me as a person.

Lykke Li

My favorite thing in the world is to have just a big dinner with friends and just sit and talk about their life and their difficulties and all of that.

Lykke Li

It's the ultimate task to do something stripped back, so you're not hiding behind anything.

Lykke Li

I always strive for freedom: freedom of thought and expression.

Lykke Li

I'm interested in a lot of different sounds and types of music.

Lykke Li

I remember watching films in my teenage years, and you'd be in love with Leonardo DiCaprio, and then a song would come on. You'd love that song forever; it changed your life.

Lykke Li

If anything, I want to be seen as a singer-songwriter rather than a pop artist.

Lykke Li

I'm from Sweden, so I don't enjoy winter at all; there's nothing cute about it.

Lykke Li

Music and fashion are a sign of the times and a reflection of what people want and need at this very day and age.

Lykke Li

The music that I listen to is very minimalistic. I listen to a lot of old blues that is just guitar and vocals.

Lykke Li

I am deeply in tune with my heart and core, and it's made me a better writer, artist, and most of all woman. It's made me more myself.

Lykke Li

I'll always be in some type of turmoil. So what I've tried to do is just surrender to that.

Lykke Li

I don't necessarily love all the collaborations that I've done; the more I work with other people, the more I realize that I want to work with myself.

Lykke Li

Being on tour really takes a toll, so you have to find ways to stay healthy.

Lykke Li

People comment on how you look; it's so unnecessary. I just wanted people to listen to what I have to say instead of focusing on anything else.

Lykke Li

When I play, I'm so in the moment that I can't really remember what happened afterwards. It's a rare experience for a thinking person like me.

Lykke Li

I love listening to demos. They're so raw.

Lykke Li

My favourite festival experience is a show at midnight with the moon blazing and a crowd full of open hearts ready to dance.

Lykke Li

It's in every person's life, around 27 to 29 years old, the stars and the planets align themselves to exactly the way they were when you were born. You're faced with yourself. There's no running away.

Lykke Li

I think everything in life comes in threes: heartbreak and all that. You've got to do the full round in order to learn.

Lykke Li

I struggle with myself every day - I am a lonesome person. I talk to my family - and I connect to some people deeply along the way - but I am a restless soul. Singing is the most immediate relief.

Lykke Li

I'm more old school: I want to be like Keith Richards on stage. It's not interesting to see straight-from-runway clothes slapped on an artist. It's more interesting when you see people who have their own style.

Lykke Li

I'm just not interested in getting judged or getting people to love me. Being seen and taking my photo and having to follow this schedule all the time, I don't enjoy it.

Lykke Li

I'm a very melancholic kind of person. I don't know why; I think certain people are born a certain way.
