Zitat des Tages von Sia:
So where a lot of people will spend three weeks on one song, I will write 10 in three weeks. Maybe the song that they sculpt is going to be as successful as just one of the 10 that I wrote.
Married life is awesome.
I think it would be very difficult to maintain one kind of art or whatever for your whole life. I think it's unrealistic.
Fame made me develop a panic disorder.
There's this image of us on the red carpet, being really fancy, and then there's the reality.
I had hundreds of thousands of dollars of tax penalties.
I was too embarrassed to tell anyone I wanted to make a movie because I thought it would be seen as a vanity project because I was a singer.
The accolades don't nourish me - being with loved ones and my dogs does.
I don't want to be famous or recognizable. I don't want to be critiqued about the way that I look on the Internet... I've been writing pop songs for pop stars for a couple years and see what their lives are like, and that's just not something I want.
You never know what I'm gonna do.
I think that, to some degree, being irreverent is the only reason I continue to be successful.
My goal is to give girls and boys a different idea of expression. It's not always about looking pretty or cute. It's about expressing yourself however that may be, even if that's being silly or goofy or weird.
I don't listen to the albums that I make, and I don't listen to a lot of music as a whole.
'Titanium' wasn't supposed to be me singing, but they put my demo vocal back on.
I don't really listen to music. I don't. I watch television.
I don't really identify as gay; I don't really know what I am.
That's why 'Chandelier' was interesting to me... I wrote the song because there's so many party-girl anthems in pop. And I thought it'd be interesting to do a different take on that.
Life is pretty surreal and awesome.
I don't care about commercial success. I get to do what I love and communicate whatever I want.
I don't read reviews or interviews or anything, just because I'm afraid; If I believed the good, then I'd believe the bad, and there will be bad.
I love TV, and I love movies, and I pull so much content from the drama in all of those mediums and put them into songs.
I was really bored of making downtempo albums.
I'm impressionable, that's for sure.
I'm very easily influenced, and I'm also a quick study, so I think when I decided I wanted to write pop songs, I literally just listened to pop radio for six months to get a feel for it and understand it.
When I'm in a songwriting phase, it's a phase. I don't just suddenly feel inspired and then write a song, because I always write with a co-writer.
I'm trying to have some control over my image.
When you're in a different place every day, there's this kind of madness that sets in.
If a transporter could send me from the bed with the dogs watching crappy TV to the stage five minutes before I go on, then immediately back to bed, I would love it.
I'm sort of a gay man trapped in a woman's body when it comes to music sometimes - it's crowded in here!
What I do enjoy is the creative process.
I really feel like I've nailed songwriting. It's my specialty; it's what I'm good at.
I like the Carpenters and Elvis.
About 50 percent of the songs on the radio are like, 'Live like tomorrow doesn't exist. Like it's my birthday. Like it's the last day of my life'... Such a large percentage of pop music is really about party time.
I don't really leave the house.
I have social anxiety. It's easier up on stage because there's security in being there. When I'm off stage I'm trying not to be a manic freak. I'm quite shy.
I don't want to have to do production, which is very technical. I don't enjoy that.
