Mike Posner Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Mike Posner:

My focus is to try to appreciate the present moment more and more and more.

I want to headline Bonnaroo. I just want to do it more than anything in the world.

Mike Posner

I feel super, super grateful that I get to make music.

Mike Posner

I think it should be socially acceptable for men to like 'You're Beautiful' by James Blunt.

Mike Posner

I consider myself a lyrics guy.

Mike Posner

I looked at myself and realized I had a lot of boundaries up about what I would talk about, what was private for me and what wasn't. I decided to just get rid of them. It was quite liberating.

Mike Posner

I hated the thought of being just a songwriter.

Mike Posner

I'll read on Twitter, 'Do you still do music?' Music is all I do, all day.

Mike Posner

I know it sounds corny, but I look for a girl that has a beautiful personality on the inside.

Mike Posner

I was a paperboy first, then I worked at a movie theater. But I was a caddie at a golf club, which I didn't like. The people were so bougie and racist at times.

Mike Posner

It took me a long time to stumble upon a sound, and I figured out I wanted to kinda sing rapper's lyrics.

Mike Posner

I had an initial wave of popularity that, in time, crashed, and I slowly became less popular and less successful, and I had to figure out who I was without those things.

Mike Posner

I struggled with depression when I was in high school, and I remember thinking that if I got a record deal and got a hit song, that it would solve all those problems for me.

Mike Posner

All my music is autobiographical, and that's the reason why people like my music. They know when I'm saying something on a song, I mean it. It comes from a real place and captures the realness in my life.

Mike Posner

I take a lot of pride in my songs.

Mike Posner

I think that's what makes my music different from other artists in my lane is that I write every word that's on my album, and every word comes from a real experience or a real feeling that I've either experienced or felt. And I'm very particular about that, and I take a lot of pride in it, so you know if I say something on a song, I mean it.

Mike Posner

If my career was a basketball season, I'm in the pre-season still. I'm not blowing everybody out by 40 - there's so much work to be done, and there's no time to really sit and look back and be proud of what I've done yet, because it's the pre-season still.

Mike Posner

In my short career, I tend not to repeat myself. I have no interest in redoing something. Sometimes that makes people angry, and maybe it's not the best thing for me commercially. But it's the best thing for me artistically, and it's the best thing for my heart.

Mike Posner

I've only had success when I'm not trying to. It's that weird thing where if you're trying to impress a girl, you're not going to impress her. But if you aren't trying to impress a girl, you'll probably impress her because you're not trying.

Mike Posner

Some of my early musical memories are attached to grunge.

Mike Posner

It's important to me that my songs actually make sense. So often, I turn on the radio, and I have no idea what the people are singing about. It may sound good, but when you listen, they're just saying words that rhyme. It's another song about nothing.

Mike Posner

My focus is to try to appreciate the present moment more and more and more.

Mike Posner

I wanted to see if I could be happy without a lot of stuff. And what I found out was, yeah, I really could.

Mike Posner

I believe in the ethos of the remix, like Andy Warhol making a painting of a Campbell's soup label.

Mike Posner

I realized that a lot of people in my family had sacrificed for me to have the opportunity to go to a place like Duke. I owed it to them to finish. I graduated with a 3.6.

Mike Posner

I stay up too late pretty much every night working on music.

Mike Posner

I came to realize that if I was going to succeed in the music industry, I was going to have to learn how to perform my songs myself.

Mike Posner

I'm kind of like a rapper trapped in a singer's body.

Mike Posner

There was a time when being loaded and loved and popular really mattered a lot to me. I'd say that when I was less popular, I learned to be happy without those things.

Mike Posner

I wanted to be the most famous. And it wasn't until I hung out with Justin Bieber that the whole thing got demystified. The mystique of it was gone.

Mike Posner

When you're a writer, your song has to resonate with the person you're writing for in order for them to want to sing it. But if you're an artist, you can sing whatever you want.

Mike Posner

Tons of people inspire my music, and now when I do an interview, I'm scared to say who they are.

Mike Posner

I really look up to Louis C.K. I think he's great. And obviously he's very popular, more popular than me. Years ago, I was thinking, naively, it would be great to be that popular. And then I thought about it and then I realized that, with his money and his level of notoriety, he has all of the same emotions that I do.

Mike Posner

A lot of my friends who I wrote or produced songs for came back and helped me make 'Pages.' It's better than I ever could have imagined.

Mike Posner

I've always had an eclectic taste in music. But what I try to do is combine these things in ways that others would never think of, like putting Bun B on an Elton John song.

Mike Posner

Just be yourself and be upfront about your expectations and desires. Don't be ambiguous and play hard to get. It doesn't work. You'll end up in the friend zone.

Mike Posner

I was constantly looking for things outside of myself to make me feel good, and I think now that feeling can come from the inside, and that's why I meditate now twice a day.
