Astrid S Quotes
-
I'm very visual when I write and get a lot of inspiration from scrolling through Tumblr or Pinterest. I have picture folders to most of the songs I've written. It would be cool to release it as a book one day!
-
I use my phone to record notes or hum melodies. That's how I remember them.
-
You never know what to expect when you're in America, especially when I've been in L.A., where you walk out the door, and suddenly there's a monkey bicycling by in front of you. There are just so many weird things going on there, but it's fun.
-
I listen to lots of artists. But I remember discovering John Mayer, whose music made me want to write my own. And so I did.
-
You really notice how you're growing when you go on tour. To be able to tour around the world, and do bigger venues every year, is really, really cool.
-
I think I just have to be myself. No one can write the songs I do, and no one can sing the way I do - I believe that's important for every artist to remember.
-
I used to be so into soccer. I would wear soccer team hoodies, another soccer team's pants, and Manchester United earrings. And I had, like, five of everything, so I would just wear the same outfit all the time!
-
I've always wanted to live in the '60s and '70s and wear wide pants, knee high boots, and oversized denim jackets.
-
I grew up in a tiny village on top of a mountain and have been skiing and singing all my life!
-
I was really into Britney Spears when I was little.
-
Anything can become a big tune in Scandinavia because people decide what they want to listen to. So I think that's very motivating because songwriters can really think outside the box. A great song - whether or not it's radio-friendly - can really blow up here.
-
Sometimes you might feel like you're not good enough or unique enough, but everyone is! Everyone has different personalities.
-
I just want to make good music, and as long as I'm happy with it, the charting isn't that important to me. Although, the best feeling is having a song you're very happy with and also having it at Number One!
-
I've always been really proud of my time on 'Idol,' so for me, I never really had the need to break free from the associations.
-
I would love to do some collaborations for my album - the more the merrier! It's fun to experiment and get to tap into different genres and sounds through collaborations.
-
There's always a party ending every day but also a new one being made. They are just chapters in our lives, ending and beginning.
-
I listen to everything and find parts about a song in the lyrics/melody/chords/production that I like and can be inspired by when I write my next song.
-
I feel like if it's a good song on a guitar, it's a good song no matter what.
-
I'm very involved in the production of my songs. I know what I like and what I don't like.
-
I love watching movies, and I'm very inspired by movies when it comes to songwriting!
-
Change is good, but in the middle of it, it can be very sad.
-
The music industry has become so unpredictable. And I think people know that if someone has a Number One song, it doesn't necessarily mean that you'll have several ones after.
-
It's fun to have someone to talk to and get input from when you write. I usually get stuck when I'm just in my room writing by myself.
-
In Norway, everyone knows everyone, and everyone is very supportive of each other. If there is anyone new, or a new song is coming out, everyone will probably know about it.
