Alessia Cara Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Alessia Cara:

I feel New York is too crazy for me, especially when you go to Times Square.

It's hard to consider myself one when a lot of my fans and people who are calling me a role model are people my age and sometimes older than me. I feel like they're at the same walk of life that I'm in right now, and they can probably teach me things about life, too.

Alessia Cara

I think we all have the right to feel 100 percent beautiful and 100 percent confident without pleasing anybody 'cause we're not here for anybody else.

Alessia Cara

I had a fairly regular childhood. I was a pretty boring kid. I didn't do much. I was always thinking, but I didn't really say a lot.

Alessia Cara

I feel New York is too crazy for me, especially when you go to Times Square.

Alessia Cara

As a female and someone who's young, I'm still coming into my own, and I still have struggles. I know how I look; I know what my flaws are - I don't need anybody to tell me that.

Alessia Cara

I want 'Scars to Your Beautiful' to reach different types of women. The girl I am talking about, it's me, it's you - it's every girl who has struggled with feeling not good enough. I want to talk about all the different extremes that girls go through to feel beautiful.

Alessia Cara

I don't want to be cliched, but Buckingham Palace is beautiful, and the old red telephone booths are really interesting to me. I've always wanted to see those.

Alessia Cara

I think that my music is really empowering. I just want people to know - especially young people, but really everyone - that you don't have to be so caught up in what everyone else is thinking. You don't have to be the coolest, most popular person. You can just be you and be vulnerable.

Alessia Cara

I remember making a 'thank you' video when one of my videos got to 50 views!

Alessia Cara

Frank Ocean would be incredible; I'd love to be a sponge and absorb everything he says. Every song he puts out, I'm like, 'Why didn't I think of this?'

Alessia Cara

Ninety per cent of my family are hairdressers, and the other 10% are construction workers.

Alessia Cara

I'm a fan of real singers. I just gravitate towards that.

Alessia Cara

I grew up in this little city called Brampton. It's pretty suburban - there's not a lot going on. In my neighbourhood, specifically, there weren't a lot of other kids so I would just spend a lot of time inside.

Alessia Cara

My family is from the south of Italy in this little place called Calabria. It's a big part of my family, the Italian culture. I grew up around it. My parents speak Italian, and I speak Italian.

Alessia Cara

This industry kind of forces you to grow up very quickly.

Alessia Cara

Throughout my high school years, I was very quiet, I didn't have many friends. I distanced myself from a lot of people.

Alessia Cara

When you're from an unknown place, I think it's hard for you to believe it's possible. You think you have to go to L.A. or New York to make it, but I don't think that's true. I'm glad to be an example that you can make it from where you are. All you need is talent and hard work.

Alessia Cara

I'm not a fitness model; I'm just a singer. If people focus on that, that's what I care about.

Alessia Cara

Often, as teens, we think we know everything, but actually we're just trying to figure life out, and we don't know much at all.

Alessia Cara

I wanted to get through high school anonymously.

Alessia Cara

I don't want to have one hit, one song of the summer, and then have me disappear forever. I really want my things to last, and I want my songs and my bodies of work to resonate with people. I want to hit people - at least make a dent in them. I want to make a mark somehow.

Alessia Cara

I didn't start writing songs, honestly, until I started making my album. I was always doing poetry, but I never thought I could write songs. I discouraged myself and thought it was so hard. But starting this process and learning just what it is to be a songwriter and performer taught me that you don't have to feel discouraged about anything.

Alessia Cara

I never thought I'd have a career because of YouTube.

Alessia Cara

I love experimenting with clothes for photo shoots, but when I'm onstage, I want to show people that there are other options. You can just be yourself and still make good music.

Alessia Cara

I keep my hair curly and natural because I really just wanna show who I am.

Alessia Cara

When you give your all as an artist, and all people can talk about is what pants you're wearing, it's really frustrating.

Alessia Cara

I don't really think I got the full high school experience, only because when I got to high school for the first year, it was grades 9-10. We didn't have older grades. But besides that, it was normal. It was a regular public school. We didn't have much going on. It wasn't too crazy.

Alessia Cara

Cats are evil, and they hate me.

Alessia Cara

I'd never make something pointless that I don't believe in. I don't think I could do it.

Alessia Cara

I always told myself that if I was going to be given a voice, I might as well say something worth listening to and not something that's just going to feed people stupidity.

Alessia Cara

Realize that everyone that you think is perfect feels like they're not good enough, too.

Alessia Cara

I think fame is such a scary thing, and it's something I can never understand. It's terrifying, but it's the only way I get to do what I love every day, you know?

Alessia Cara

It's important to show that there's different ways of doing things. Some people like to be glamorous, and that's perfectly fine, and that's amazing. If I were that style, then I would do that. I'd wear heels every day, and I'd strut around in a dress, but that's not me.

Alessia Cara

I've never really aspired to the spotlight; I just wanted to do music, which is kind of weird because music comes with that spotlight.

Alessia Cara

As long as each song makes somebody feel something, I think that's the point of it all. I don't want it to just be background music, you know?

Alessia Cara

For some reason, I'm constantly attacked on social media in terms of how I dress. I've never understood that. That's been very hard.
