Halsey Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Halsey:

I have to remember for every kid saying something awful, there's a kid saying something great.

When you're an artist, you're expected to describe yourself in interviews every day in five words.

Halsey

My mom has every issue of 'Billboard' I've ever been in.

Halsey

I want to be treated like a musician.

Halsey

All the musicians I loved growing up were men. I loved Leonard Cohen, Mick Jagger. I loved Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkeys. Even today, I love Van McCann from Catfish and the Bottlemen and Matt Healy from The 1975.

Halsey

Please don't erase my race because I'm white-passing. There is literally nothing I can do about my complexion.

Halsey

You can tell if there's magic in something. When you start it, you want to finish it and you want it to be perfect. If you're not inspired, and you're working hard to pull inspiration from somewhere and make a song something it's not, then it's very contrived, and I don't like to write music that's contrived.

Halsey

I cultivated this fan base that I really didn't really understand or appreciate until I put my first headlining tour up for sale. 500- to 1,000-capacity rooms weren't an underplay for me at the time. I'd never done a tour before!

Halsey

I like writing about places, about people and environments. When I create a world, it lets me go in and define the details of that world.

Halsey

I used to work at a punk venue in Pennsylvania because I wanted to be near music.

Halsey

As a songwriter, pop music really is a love and a joy and a science, and I feel like a lot of people look at pop music with a very formulaic perspective in numbers and patterns, but an outsider would think that the process is very natural.

Halsey

My EP, 'Room 93,' was all about isolation - it was based on the idea of being in a hotel room and being totally alone with yourself or that other person.

Halsey

Every time I got to play a show, even if it's already sold out, I'm so scared no one's going to come.

Halsey

I have to remember for every kid saying something awful, there's a kid saying something great.

Halsey

You don't know fear until it's 7 A.M. and freezing cold on live television, and you're not sure if Justin Bieber is going to kiss you or not.

Halsey

To be fair, I did come out of nowhere. 'Ghost' was the first song I ever did in a studio, my first time ever cutting a professional vocal.

Halsey

I feel like, if I'm going to have young, impressionable people listening to my music, then I'm going to respect that.

Halsey

I love pop music, but at the same time, I'm seeking to write whatever I'm organically inclined to.

Halsey

You can be accessible without catering to an audience.

Halsey

I'm not actually even a very good singer. I'm not.

Halsey

A guitar can be so human, so sorrowful, so angry, and I wanted to figure out how to achieve that vibe without having to actually use guitars, because 'Badlands' is a very futuristic record - and making it that in an era of futuristic music is a really hard thing to do!

Halsey

I don't want to be 'Halsey: America's Sweetheart,' or 'Halsey: Bad Girl.' If you can sum up my career in a clickbait headline, I've done something wrong.

Halsey

I write songs very quickly, so the 20 minutes of joy I get out of writing a song doesn't compare to the two months of joy I get engaging with the people who like my music.

Halsey

I'm a fixer, unfortunately. I'm like, 'Oh, I can fix you.' But it's not just guys I'm dating anymore. It's this entire legion of young girls who tell me they need me to maintain any sort of sanity or peace.

Halsey

The idea of 'Badlands' was creating a space with sound, which is a really difficult thing to do.

Halsey

I want any kid who listens to my music to see that I am confident with all elements of my personality that I can't change.

Halsey

I hate feeling like a prisoner. I show up somewhere, and I can't explore the city because there's, like, 6,000 to 10,000 people on the lookout for me.

Halsey

I love Quentin Tarantino; I love Harmony Korine, Larry Clarke.

Halsey

Being a pop-leaning, female artist, you'd think that I'd have my record company breathing down my neck and trying to control everything I'm doing. Actually, they've just kind of let me take the wheel.

Halsey

I'm 21 years old, and it's kind of uncomfortable for me to talk about, but I'm in the 1 percent as far as my income and tax bracket. But now that I'm here, there's no amount of money you can wave in front of my face that will make me understand depriving people of human rights.

Halsey

The cool thing about my show and me is that I'm a writer, and I'm a writer first if I don't have music.

Halsey

My mom is awesome. She's really young. My mom is 40, and she raised me listening to Nirvana and Courtney Love and Coldplay, Gin Blossoms, The Cranberries, and stuff. Like, my early, early memories are of being a little kid running around in floral skirts and Doc Martens when I was, like, three.

Halsey

I would love to write a screenplay for 'Badlands' one day. I don't think I could ever have the patience to do it; I don't even have the patience to write songs. I write some of the shortest songs ever because I don't have the patience.

Halsey

Being a musician, people ask you a lot about what musicians inspire you, and there's plenty of musicians that I love and respect, but I think that I'm the most inspired by cinema.

Halsey

I love films that show people in a way that's so real it's almost unsettling, and that's what really inspires me because I write about people. I write about people that I know, so I want to portray them and portray myself in a way that is unapologetic.

Halsey

Even if you can't relate to what I'm singing, I hope you can believe in it and see it as something that it is real.

Halsey

At the end of the day, every decision I make about my music is about creating a collective.
