The Weeknd Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von The Weeknd:

I have a good team. It's good to have a good team.

For my generation, the bomber jacket is like a replacement for the suit jacket. It's a piece that men wear every day, and it's something that I would wear for any occasion, whether it's on the street or going to an awards ceremony.

The Weeknd

'House of Balloons' was actually supposed to have more songs than it does.

The Weeknd

Even though I've been putting out bodies of work for years, 'Beauty Behind the Madness' felt like the beginning.

The Weeknd

I knew the second I finished the first record - 'House Of Balloons' - and had all this material leftover that a trilogy would be best.

The Weeknd

I feel like everything we do comes down to how it looks. Even no branding is branding. For example, you had no face or image to put to my music at first. That was branding.

The Weeknd

A chorus is not easy.

The Weeknd

Marriage is scary to me, man.

The Weeknd

When I was performing the songs on 'Kiss Land,' it was a great singalong. But there were moments where I realized some parts were catchier than the others. There's maybe two choruses on all of 'Kiss Land.'

The Weeknd

I sang a lot of low stuff on songs like 'Secrets' and 'Rockin',' almost like Toni Braxton. On 'Secrets,' I'm a different person.

The Weeknd

All of my music is honest.

The Weeknd

Nothing is stopping me from doing what I love to do.

The Weeknd

I always hated how I looked on camera. I never put a face to my music, which actually made the music that much more mysterious.

The Weeknd

Literally wrote 'Starboy' in 30 minutes.

The Weeknd

Me not finishing school - in my head, I still have this insecurity when I'm talking to someone educated.

The Weeknd

When you're traveling constantly, every day you become inspired, and it shows in my work, sonically, lyrically, visually. Conversations with women with different accents and stories told in those accents. I like to create characters based on different people I've met, and relationships. I like to tell stories loosely based on real-life events.

The Weeknd

When I was making the early stuff, I never expected it to be so big. I was in my own kind of bubble. I never wanted to tour; I just wanted to create music and make a diary I could put out into the world. And sometimes, I became the characters.

The Weeknd

The game is changing with songs like 'Earned It' as opposed to it changing me.

The Weeknd

It's hard to wrap my head around the fact that there are people who can't or won't see what Black Lives Matter is trying to accomplish.

The Weeknd

To be recognized for the hard work my team and I put into 'Starboy' is an honor.

The Weeknd

I think that's why my career is going to be so long: Because I haven't given people everything.

The Weeknd

I love trying new things.

The Weeknd

Taylor Swift's audience can listen to me, but so can the street kids. I want to touch it all.

The Weeknd

For the chorus of 'Secrets,' we used The Romantics' 'Talking in Your Sleep' and 'Pale Shelter' by Tears for Fears. It's like hip-hop: just grab it.

The Weeknd

The Internet, man, is a beautiful thing.

The Weeknd

I was everything an R&B singer wasn't. I wasn't in shape. I wasn't a pretty boy.

The Weeknd

OVOXO will always be there.

The Weeknd

I'm pretty laid-back in real life. I just love hanging with my friends and making jokes. The jokes don't stop - literally, all day.

The Weeknd

I'm all about surprises. If you watch a horror movie, and it's called 'Kiss Land,' it's probably going to be the most terrifying thing you've ever seen in your life.

The Weeknd

Prince turned experimental music into pop music. 'When Doves Cry,' the whole 'Purple Rain' soundtrack - he was inspired by the Cocteau Twins and new wave pop and brought it into R&B when he first started, and then it became this cool, next-level, kind of hard-to-digest music. Which is what I felt 'House of Balloons' was.

The Weeknd

Nothing feels better than going onstage and everybody is singing every word - and actually wanting to see you.

The Weeknd

'House of Balloons' was special because I had no deadlines, and nobody knew me, so there were no expectations. Spent a year making it perfect. Every song had at least, like, 7 different versions to them before picking the right one.

The Weeknd

The Joker that Christopher Nolan created in 'The Dark Knight' had the scar across his mouth, and the first time you heard his explanation for it, he makes you believe that's how he got it. But then you get into the film, and every time he talks about his scar, it's a totally different story.

The Weeknd

My closet is like Bart Simpson's.

The Weeknd

I mean... in life... what relationship is easy?

The Weeknd

I feel like I'm changing pop culture.

The Weeknd

The mind of a 19-year-old is very different from the mind of a 26-year-old. You grow. You get into better relationships. You experience more, meet more people, better people. But when you're in a dark hole at an earlier point in your life - you write about the mindset you're in at that moment.
