I identify with Sad Girls.
When you write songs, you can't really point out the exact thing you're inspired by. It's more a state or a mood or an atmosphere that you're trying to put into words.
I want to entertain, but I'm interested in a whole range of feelings.
If I ever come out with a very serious, romantic project, you should know that it's because, at that point, I would have experienced a very agitated relationship.
Sometimes people say to me that I celebrate over the top, but when you score, the emotion... you just can't control it. It's the same with owning a horse that wins.
Every song is personal, but 'Ohio,' on my first EP, was on another level. I really opened up about the lack of relationship I had with my father. We stopped talking about four years ago, and I haven't...
I'm super emotional; I don't know if anyone knows that.
It's hard for me to say I'm hurt.
I don't mean to be presumptuous that men don't feel this, I don't mean this, but I found that when my child was born, my first child, it felt like my heart broke.
I grew up listening to Papa Roach, and I used to love Jimmy Eat World and the more slightly emotional rock type of stuff.
When I play it I look out and see people hold on to each other and dance or just couples leaning into each other and kiss. And I'll go: 'You know, I could have worked hard at school and been a...
In the art world, sentimentality and intimacy and the emotive side of lives are considered very uncool. There's nervousness around intimacy.
Keep it simple, keep it sexy, keep it sad.
We Finns don't show much emotion but it doesn't mean we don't have any.
I've always internalized things.
For me, 'I Can't Make You Love Me' is one of the most brilliantly-written songs ever.
The only reason I create something is because I'm chasing a feeling. You can use a bunch of musical or psychological operations to achieve that result.
You care a lot about these stories you're writing, and you hope that someone else will care, too.
I internalize everything, keep everything inside. I'm not used to spilling my guts, and when you have to do that on film to make a point, it's hard. It's rough. I don't think it's as easy as people...
I'm not one for crying in front of people.
I can never have a poker face. Anybody looking at me can tell exactly what I'm thinking.
Even though I am smiling, I have some suffering in my heart.
I was born in a blender.
There's a certain feeling I get when I listen to something that vibrates in my soul.
Kenny Chesney's music hits deeply. He excels at delivering those powerful ballads like 'There Goes My Life' and 'The Good Stuff' that can truly move you, and he does so with remarkable skill. Some of...
I always listen as they play 'North London Forever' over the speakers and I start singing along under my breath. I get goosebumps every time.
I have a tendency to feel a bit embarrassed when approached, but it's such a thrill to know that you did something that people enjoyed so much. It's an even bigger thrill when they talk to you about...
When I sing for myself, I probably sing for anyone who has any kind of hurt, any kind of bad feelings, good feelings, ups and downs, highs and lows, that kind of thing.
I'm much more at home with Daffy Duck than I am with a real person.
I don't even like to cry in private.
