Zola Jesus Quotes

I know for sure that nothing matters Picture Quote #1

My music started as a way to break through weaknesses - like anxiety, which was completely taking over my whole life, where I could barely function Picture Quote #1

I feel like I am alone when I am in the presence of those I love. It is so freeing and comfortable, you become one with them Picture Quote #1

The word ‘theatrical’ makes me cringe, because it suggests a performance is staged, put on, rehearsed. And while all this is true for an opera, I believe the act of singing and performing should always be honest, raw, guttural Picture Quote #1

I guess something people wouldn’t expect me to listen to are artists like Alicia Keys. But she is so incredibly talented. She has this huge voice and great work ethic, which I really respect in an artist. She is also very humble and gracious and devoted to her skill Picture Quote #1

And my music is always such a release of what I feel inside, an impulse Picture Quote #1

I think I’m making music that’s pretty universal Picture Quote #1

When you fall in love, you become weak Picture Quote #1

As a child, I was always making sound; it was a compulsion. I loved to scream and yell and sing; it freed me from all the thoughts in my head. I begged for opera lessons because opera singing is the most formidable, most emotional way to use your voice Picture Quote #1

I feel like humans are a disease. It’s a hard thing to communicate in a pop song. I mean, who wants to hear that? Picture Quote #1

True expression is hard when performing opera. The problem is that opera relies on the dramatic context of the piece. It can be interpreted and represented, but there are guidelines; there is a vocabulary within the pieces that you must know objectively and reflect Picture Quote #1

The greatest benefit of being a solo performer is that it is seriously frightening, but at the same time very empowering. It’s just you and the audience. All the weight is on you to deliver the songs Picture Quote #1

Everything I do is a reflection of the duality within me. Musically, I really love things that are very synthetic and unnatural. And I also like the organic and human... the intrinsic, I guess Picture Quote #1

You are born and then you die, but in between you can do anything you want. It’s society that creates rules for us, but you can break out of that Picture Quote #1

People don’t really understand who I am. They always think that I’m very dark or depressed, but it couldn’t be further from the truth! Picture Quote #1

No matter what you do, if there’s something you’re afraid of, you need to break through it Picture Quote #1

It sounds kind of stupid, but I’ve never not wanted to be a musician. It’s been inside me since I was little so I don’t know what else I would do Picture Quote #1

I try to create songs that are really massive and intense, but at the same time remaining honest and raw Picture Quote #1

I don’t find much influence in opera. It was such a different part of me Picture Quote #1

A lot of times I have the song inside of me and I have to fight to get it out. I’m a very visual person, so I can see the song but I can’t hear it. But I think that if your music becomes a war for it to happen, in the end there’s a certain kind of aggression in the music. And I think that’s a lot more interesting Picture Quote #1
