Zitat des Tages von Tove Lo:
When I'm angry, like, if someone gets me really upset, whatever comes into my head, I scream it.
For me, everything that you're passionate about always comes with a little pain. That's how life is, and that's how I want to live it. I don't want it to be balanced and ordinary.
The fact is, when you date an artist, you have to know that they're going to sing about you.
When I play a song for someone the first time, if I make 'em laugh, I think, 'Yes, I've succeeded.'
I would never agree to sing something I didn't feel was 100% me.
That's kind of how I am - a roller coaster of emotions.
I think that pop music in general sometimes like to keep things a bit more hidden, and, you know, you censor and you polish to make it fit more people or to not be too vulgar or make sure of, 'Can this really play on the radio?' And I like not doing that.
It means a lot to everyone around me that I look good, and I don't think it should have to. I just think I should look the way I do.
I don't think I would live very long if I was a rock star.
I think there's always a bit of pain in everything that's ecstatic - relationships and love, they always come with pain.
I knew when I went to a very hippie high school that focused on music that I wanted to do something in the industry.
It's OK to joke about yourself and have self-perspective, but, like, when you constantly put yourself down to get other people to tell you you're good, that annoys me. Have confidence!
In the same way that I'm open when I speak, I'm that open on stage. I feed off the energy of the audience, too, so they're feeling what I'm feeling.
There are some nights where I don't get enough sleep, or we're traveling a lot. And then I'll go do a radio show, and the DJs are usually so energetic. And they're like, 'Why aren't you excited?' I say, 'I am excited. I'm just Swedish. This is my excited. I can't get to an American excitement level.'
I always loved performing and being on stage.
I started to use music almost like a therapist, where it's like, everything that I don't really dare to say or speak about, I can sing about.
I was always drawn to the self-destructive kind of way. I thought there was something beautiful about it; I don't know why.
I definitely feel I'm outside of the polished pop girl group, which feels right. I don't think I could keep up that polished surface on purpose.
Singing gives me a lot of energy.
