Skylar Grey Quotes

Expectations are an evil thing Picture Quote #1

Mazomanie doesn’t even have a stoplight, so it doesn’t do a lot. But the cheese curds there are unbelievable. I’ve never had them anywhere else, even at places in California that claim to have the real thing. There’s a cheese factory in Arena, Mazomanie’s neighboring town, and they’ll give you fresh curds that are so amazing Picture Quote #1

My mom was a folk singer and Celtic harpist. My dad was in a barbershop quartet and my great grandma was an opera singer. As I grew up, I discovered pop music and Top 40 radio, but it was in the 90s, so music was very different then - it was really lyrical Picture Quote #1

The best songs for me come from the search for joy. You’re in a negative place maybe, but you’re still striving to improve yourself and find happiness Picture Quote #1

I come from a place of darkness when I write because I’m always trying to figure things out. It’s kind of like my own therapy when I write music. It’s me working through my own problems hopefully. And putting it into a song Picture Quote #1

Once I’ve learned all those things and gotten through the hard times, I come out feeling really powerful Picture Quote #1

I think, honestly, that a lot of people think I’m sad and dark all the time, because of the music I have made. But there’s a huge part of my personality that’s really energetic, outgoing and goofy Picture Quote #1

I think one of the reasons I’ve had success in hip-hop is that I can bring out vulnerability in people who are generally seen as tough guys. To me, when a hip-hop musician always plays tough, I find it annoying because I know they’re not really like that - there’s something deeper and vulnerable. There has to be, because they’re human beings Picture Quote #1

Alex [Da Kid] does have diversity, not just in what he produces, but what he hears. He has this knack for finding talented people Picture Quote #1

I lived in a cabin in the woods in Oregon, and I’d basically given up on the music industry for an indefinite amount of time. And while I was out there, I came up with a very specific vision of what I wanted my music to sound like Picture Quote #1

I love New York. I first came here with my Mom when I was in 9th grade. I took the subway for the first time and the doors closed between me and my Mom, and I was so scared. I could see her through the window and I didn’t know what to do. I got off at the next stop and she caught up to me, but I couldn’t stop crying Picture Quote #1

I would say that nobody is going to work harder for your career than yourself - the one with the vision. No matter how many people you hire, nobody is going to get is as much as yourself does. So it’s really important to be your own leader at all times and not hand it all off, otherwise the whole empire will fall apart Picture Quote #1

I have a tattoo on my foot that says ‘it’s a whale’ in Japanese, because Japanese people kill whales. My stuffed whale was like most children’s teddy bear. I took it with me everywhere. I slept with it. I couldn’t live without my whale Picture Quote #1

Putting out a debut album is a bit scary - I want it to be just right, so I took some extra time to finish it. Eminem’s increased involvement has been such a blessing; I’m getting guidance from an artist I really admire and trust Picture Quote #1

But do you ever think of me, when you lie? Lie down in your bed, your bed of lies Picture Quote #1

Your personal life, your professional life, and your creative life are all intertwined. I went through a few very difficult years where I felt like a failure. But it was actually really important for me to go through that. Struggle, for me, is the most inspirational thing in the world at the end of the day - as long as you treat it that way Picture Quote #1

Writing songs for other people was never the goal for me Picture Quote #1

I write a lot about the past because I really see things clearly in hindsight Picture Quote #1

I’m a shy person, so I get really nervous going into interviews Picture Quote #1

Once I’ve learned all those things and gotten through the hard times, I come out feeling really powerful Picture Quote #1

One of my biggest problems is I get bored too easily, and I like to experiment too much, to the point where I confuse myself and I confuse my fans Picture Quote #1

My mom always puts a grapefruit in my stocking. I like grapefruit, but why put it in a stocking like it’s a gift? It’s almost as bad as coal Picture Quote #1

Honestly, I don’t recommend anyone get into music. If you have something else that you’re good at, do that instead. This is a really tough world to live in Picture Quote #1

I think, honestly, that a lot of people think I’m sad and dark all the time, because of the music I have made. But there’s a huge part of my personality that’s really energetic, outgoing and goofy Picture Quote #1
