People aren't honest about the horrors of fame. The downsides are so overwhelming that, for me, there is no payoff.
From Sia Furler
I don't know anything about the history of music.
I'll be the songwriter for pop stars and then they can be the front person and I don't have to be famous.
When I was 10, my parents really valued success in the arts, and I thought if I was a famous 'something artistic,' that they would love me more.
There are probably five songs in the world that I get excited about when I hear them on the radio.
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 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'm sensitive and get easily upset and insulted.
Like when I'm singing live I can't hear myself. I'm just listening to the rest of the band. To listen to my voice, it doesn't even feel like it's me.
I liked myself much more before I got famous. I was much friendlier and had more energy.
