Zitat des Tages von Bebe Rexha:
For mascara, I'll just use whatever I have in my bag. I'll use anything. I feel like, from drugstores to a Saks, they are all the same to me.
Since I'm on a tour bus, sometimes it's really hard for me to wash my face, so I always make sure I have those Neutrogena Make-up Remover Cleansing Towelettes. No matter what and no matter how long the days are, I always have to wash with those before bed and when I wake up.
I played the trumpet for nine years, and then I joined the choir after that, and then I was in musicals in high school.
I don't really want to make this sound depressing, but I will say that I didn't really have my first kiss until really, really late.
The most important thing to me is that it's all really raw.
I wanted to be part of pop culture, so I started songwriting, and I got signed to my first record deal.
Music changes so fast, and we're in a singles market.
What I like about the EMAs is that you will never know what happens.
It was always my dream to be part of MTV and make history.
I just respect Kanye as an artist.
I have never spoken to Eminem. I've never even spoken to him once.
We don't walk around wearing candy stuff all day or colorful stuff. It's like, I walk around wearing black.
It must be so hard trying to figure yourself out in this industry. Justin Bieber has hit rock-bottom with everyone watching him; that is just so tough.
I have put absolutely everything into my album. I feel like it's been such a long journey to get here. It is like giving birth to my first child, and I want to make sure I did everything right.
I turned sadness into an anthem for not letting anything or anyone slow you down.
Nothing really scares me anymore.
I think that the music industry is such an interesting place, and there are so many situations that people don't know about.
I had a moment where I was like, 'I'm so tired of waiting for other people to accept me.'
I bought these pink sticker things... and I would write things on them, and I wrote, 'I will write an international smash,' and shortly after, it was when we did 'Monster,' and it was an international smash.
My music is a little dark, and my lyrics are a little darker. Every day, I'm fighting towards the light.
I've been in the room or watched artists walk in who don't write, and you can't figure out what they really want.
In the beginning, I found it hard to give my songs away, but now I've realised it's exciting, and it's only making me better.
I want people to be happy.
I want to show every part of me and every color of me. And I think, growing up Albanian, I wanted to bring that to light.
I grew up in the era of Britney Spears, where artists had songs written for them, and you got up and sang them. That's how I always thought it was.
It's weird to me when an artist comes in, and the label says, 'We want him to sound like Chris Brown,' but he says he wants to sound like Sean Paul. There's a huge disconnect - it's like we're making a product.
I think in a lot of situations I had got songs stolen from me, or treated badly.
I have a lot of respect for Eminem and Rihanna. They are both very real in their music.
The world can be very small. That's why you have to be very careful, whoever you meet.
We just recently saw Bruno Mars at the Hollywood Bowl, and he was incredible.
I remember starting out and covering songs.
I'm not one to be like, 'What is everybody doing? Let me do that!' I just do what I want.
You need to know when to surrender the album.
Nicki Minaj is a very strong woman who knows exactly what she wants. As an artist, I understand her, and I could see how she could be misunderstood by a lot of people, but she is really passionate about her art, and that's something I really admire about her.
I just don't let music genres define me.
Anytime there was an award show, it was a ritual where me and my mom would sit around and watch with my friends. We would make desserts and buy chips and popcorn and see what our favorite performances of the night were.
