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.
From Tove Lo
I am an open book, and I'm fine being me: I'm not a perfect person.
That's kind of how I am - a roller coaster of emotions.
Both my best and my worst habit is that I'm very impulsive.
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 find it really cool when people have this artist persona they can put on. They can go out and act like this other person; I can't pull that off... I can't censor myself.
If you say, 'I listen to pop,' you picture this kind of perfect, colorful, polished song. I want to have that, but when you open it, you see this gritty dark - kind of like dancing your tears away. Disguise the sadness in a pop beat.
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.
The very first song I ever wrote was a song called 'Crazy' when I was 11 or 12 with my best girlfriends - we had a girl band. It was about loving a guy who everyone else thought you were crazy for being into.
The fact is, when you date an artist, you have to know that they're going to sing about you.
