Marina and the Diamonds Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Marina and the Diamonds:

I am very curvy, so the vintage stores suit me better than most designers. I just can't seem to give up crisps, or make my boobs shrink for that matter. Alas, I will never fit a size zero.

I hate the whole 'record your album, do your promo campaign, have a year off to write another album' pattern. As an artist, you should keep creating as much as you possibly can.

Marina and the Diamonds

I've always been interested in how fast-moving our identity is and that I've never been able to pin down who I truly am. That inspires me to write, because I feel like that cements me a bit, in that I find my identity in being an artist.

Marina and the Diamonds

I consider myself a feminist because I believe women should have equal rights. Of course. It's just that the term 'feminism' conjures up other things for people.

Marina and the Diamonds

Blonde symbolises sexuality and power - it holds very different connotations. The archetypal star has always been blonde.

Marina and the Diamonds

If you're making too many excuses for someone, agonising over them in a way which takes up all your waking thoughts and feel so nervous around them you could be sick, then they are probably the wrong person.

Marina and the Diamonds

There's no one particular road that will lead you to success. I think everybody will find it differently.

Marina and the Diamonds

Lots of narcissistic people have helped lots of other people with their music. That's such a narcissistic thing to say! Ha ha!

Marina and the Diamonds

I'm just waiting for the moment where it's accepted that women are just as sexual as men without women having to be overtly sexy just to prove how 'liberated' they are.

I am very curvy, so the vintage stores suit me better than most designers. I just can't seem to give up crisps, or make my boobs shrink for that matter. Alas, I will never fit a size zero.

Marina and the Diamonds

I love natural beauty, and I think it's your best look, but I think makeup as an artist is so transformative.

Marina and the Diamonds

I'm masquerading as an innocent pop star.

Marina and the Diamonds

Touring can be tough; the crew and I travel everywhere by a big pink bus, and live in petrol stations.

Marina and the Diamonds

Actually, I think that a lot of the interviews and acoustic sessions and other things that artists fill their time with are really pointless and suck the energy out of the artist.

Marina and the Diamonds

I've read every Madonna biography. I've also looked up every pop star to see how they first made it. The biggest thing I learnt was that you have to be pro-active. You can't be scared.

Marina and the Diamonds

I was always very creative. I was always into acting and dancing when I was younger.

Marina and the Diamonds

This obsession with celebrity culture is really unhealthy. I don't want to live my life like that, and I don't want to be a typical pop star.

Marina and the Diamonds

I actually quite like promo, which is quite odd for an artist, but recording's not the easiest thing.

Marina and the Diamonds

Britney Spears is a big influence. Huge. I think people thought I was joking about that for a long time. But when I was a teenager, there was a genuine connection with this sweet girl who also had this very sexual side that people didn't really want to accept.

Marina and the Diamonds

Everybody is different. Some people like to share more. I just wouldn't want to spoil someone's opinion of me by them knowing me as a person instead of an artist.

Marina and the Diamonds

I want to provoke people with thoughts, not by taking my clothes off. It's time to move on from Stripperville.

Marina and the Diamonds

Even when I see a beautiful woman, I think, 'Aw, her life must be amazing.' Everyone does it. That's human nature to believe that beauty is everything.

Marina and the Diamonds

Everyone gets dumped and everyone gets hurt and there's karma to love in regards to what you've done to other people.

Marina and the Diamonds

I really do want people to listen to the music more than watch what I wear. There's time for that later. I've got the rest of my life to dress up and look nice.

Marina and the Diamonds

You have to be your biggest believer.

Marina and the Diamonds

I feel like everyone has the right to privacy, even if you're the most famous person in the world.

Marina and the Diamonds

Music is my 90% of my life and my biggest passion. I really don't have an interest in anything else.

Marina and the Diamonds

I'm not really part of that 'L.A. thing' or that celebrity culture. I'm more like someone who observes it, and I can't ever imagine being like that.

Marina and the Diamonds

I do have a memo all the time because I need to be guided by something in my life. I'm not religious and I don't have idols, so something has to drive me.

Marina and the Diamonds

Love is really my nemesis. I never really allowed myself to indulge in such basic things because I was so motivated and thought that if I did I wouldn't succeed.

Marina and the Diamonds

I have quite a lot of plastic sunglasses. It's just a nice accessory, it adds a final thing, and it's my favorite way of figuring an outfit.

Marina and the Diamonds

I didn't even listen to any music until I was 19, really. I just wanted to be famous. But I didn't say it to anyone because I was really embarrassed at the thought.

Marina and the Diamonds

I don't think I'm an instantaneous act the whole world will love in one second - but that's how I've felt about bands I love.
