I always wanted everyone to love me, probably because I didn't love myself enough. But now I realize that when you're an artist, you're making the music that's in your head and in your heart, and not for any other reason.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Sometimes I feel like music has made love to me.
I have no love for myself as a human being, but I have immense pride in the music I make.
You're born with a certain love of something. Music was my first love, and that's the world I work from. Growing up, I was surrounded by artists, so my upbringing supported this lifestyle.
If people like your music, you can't guarantee they're going to love you.
You have to embrace the people that love you because you're making a difference in people's lives, and you're making them feel something with your music. That, I think, is the biggest key: to stay grounded and focused and stay true to who you are as a person.
What you want is for music to love you back. That's why you pay your dues. You want to feel like you belong and are part of this symbiosis, metamorphosis, whatever you want to call it.
There has always been a feeling with people that they love my singing but not always the choice of material.
I love music so much I love what I do. I work very hard at being the best musician I can be because I love it.
Up until the last minute, it was art and drawing for me. That was the first real and natural thing I thought I was good at and loved to do. But I developed a similar kind of love for music.
I'm an artist; I love everyone.
