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.
-
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 grew up in a tiny village on top of a mountain and have been skiing and singing all my life!
-
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.
-
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.
-
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 was really into Britney Spears when I was little.
-
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!
-
Sometimes you might feel like you're not good enough or unique enough, but everyone is! Everyone has different personalities.
-
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 feel like if it's a good song on a guitar, it's a good song no matter what.
-
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 love watching movies, and I'm very inspired by movies when it comes to songwriting!
-
I'm very involved in the production of my songs. I know what I like and what I don't like.

I've always wanted to live in the '60s and '70s and wear wide pants, knee high boots, and oversized denim jackets.

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.
-
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.
