Alison Moyet Quotes

I went through a string of A Picture Quote #1

If you think about it, I was at college, and then three months later, I was a massive pop star. It’s stress-making, especially when you’re a bit of an oddball as I was, the black sheep left to your own devices, and then suddenly everyone’s interested in you Picture Quote #1

It wasn’t like I felt I was on a wave. It was just so easy. It is only afterwards that I thought I really had a bit of good luck going on there with Yazoo Picture Quote #1

The press Yazoo were receiving were focused on the voice, This obviously was about trends Picture Quote #1

Yazoo was Vince’s sound ultimately. At the time Vince and I got together he had only recorded one album with Depeche and Depeche were to go on to greater things Picture Quote #1

Becoming famous is a really shocking thing, especially when you don’t have aspirations to it. It got to the point where I would try and avoid making eye contact with anyone. It was freaky, and it just happened overnight. I couldn’t handle it Picture Quote #1

In the early days, myself and my friends were into punk because we had no money, just very basic instruments and skills. It was more about the ethos and the energy Picture Quote #1

When I saw Adele, I thought: ‘I’ll give it an hour before people say I was her,’ just because I was fat. When you watch ‘X Factor,’ you can bet your bottom dollar, every single fat singer sounds like me as far as the judges are concerned. Can you imagine if they did that with every black artist? Picture Quote #1

I have lost and put on big batches of weight in my life many, many times. But what concerns me is the idea of being an obese old woman, because I don’t like the idea of being physically incapable in someone else’s hands Picture Quote #1

People always had something to say about the fact I was odd looking, bigger than other people, that I was awkward. When I discovered punk, I bought into it. That look, combined with being fat, made me even less of what people thought a young woman should be Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t good at being affable. You get beyond that and realise the attraction in any human being has more to do with what they give to someone rather than just being face candy Picture Quote #1

I had been with the label since I was 21. The label wanted shiny pop but I didn’t. I found a little independent and we’ve got all these great reviews in England and now it has gone gold Picture Quote #1

I just find P.J. Harvey so mesmerising to watch because she remains unfathomable. She is the kind of woman who makes you rue the day you weren’t born her. She always seems to be the cat that walks alone, and you don’t feel you are supposed to know her Picture Quote #1

The money has always been wasted on me. I don’t care for beautiful things, funnily enough. I am my father’s daughter. The things that excite me are the smell of a wood-burning stove, uncultivated fields. My house is decaying and falling to pieces. It’s not had the love it deserves over twenty years Picture Quote #1

My style of singing has always been referred to ‘soul’ singing when it fact it’s more influenced by English R Picture Quote #1

It’s really irrelevant, but I wouldn’t want to be stick thin. It’s better to have bit of fat on your face when you get older Picture Quote #1

Psychologically, I’ll always be a fat girl because that’s what my character is built on. I always got a buzz out of people telling me I was ugly. I went out of my way to un-beautify myself. I didn’t want anyone’s approval Picture Quote #1

My strength as a singer is my versatility. I find it really frustrating when I’m only expected to show off. The music industry is awash with female acrobats. What happens to the song, and treating it for its sake and not as an ego example? Picture Quote #1

When you make a lot of money for a record company, they don’t want you to evolve. Growing older, you naturally do Picture Quote #1

My idea of hell is a girlfriend ringing up and saying, ‘Let’s go shopping and have cocktails.’ I’d rather play cards Picture Quote #1

I came from a small town and at school in one class there was me, a member from Depeche Mode and someone who went on to join The Cure. That was all in one class of 30 kids Picture Quote #1

I think with all records, it’s the starting out that is the difficult stage Picture Quote #1

When you have kids, it limits you. That was a choice I made Picture Quote #1

I have never had another job and I don’t have a mortgage Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

I was a single parent, and I was prohibited from working Picture Quote #1

When you have a creative mind it doesn’t stop going Picture Quote #1

When you find yourself on stage singing and you are embarrassed about what you are singing in front of your peers, then you have to think about your priorities Picture Quote #1

Within three months I had gone from being this black sheep of the town to suddenly becoming a pop star Picture Quote #1

It is interesting seeing young people these days and watching how unimportant music is in their lives compared with our generation Picture Quote #1

I think the world is a dead carcass and I think the purpose of human beings is as maggots Picture Quote #1
