More quotes by Ester Dean
I'm young. You can't just sit there and be satisfied. People are like, You've got all these number ones! Yeah...what else? It all translates into money, and that's how people think of being successful, but my success, I feel like, is credit - credit for a good job. I haven't even gotten a Grammy, yet I've already decided I want an Emmy.

I have a thing - I call it magic - but I feel like I can write stuff down in the middle of the night and wake up and it happens. I write what I want in my journal.
Ester Dean
I'm a very emotional writer. I always need to have a boyfriend. I always need to have some food. I always need to have a heater at my feet, and I drink this thing called Cool Brew, which I found in Louisiana. It's like condensed coffee.
Ester Dean
I had so many beliefs against being a singer or what it takes. There was a lot of pain associated with that. The rejection of it all. I lived in a rejection state of mind. Not because of my voice the mike never rejected me. It was harboring all those bad memories of being broke. It teaches you your worth. Nothing good comes from that.

Everyone in my family can sing - my momma can sing, my cousins. I was in the third grade and I was that kid who was so bad in school because I could sing.

The mall is good for hearing new music because you hear music everywhere. I like to walk around the mall and hear what the kids are listening to, or what's the feel of Middle America, cause that's what the mall is.

Acting becomes my real job, writing becomes my second job, and then when I turn 50, I think I'm going to open up an interior decorating company.

Rhianna don't want you to give her what you think that she wants. She needs you to give her something that's fresh. So you have to bend your voice and bend your personality and bend the music to make sure it sounds like it's new to everybody.
Ester Dean
I'm a songwriter who just wants to bring people great songs.
Ester Dean
I'm going to become a real professional actress.
Ester Dean
You have to break your fingers to learn how to play guitar.
Ester Dean
My songs are my hookers. I can't worry about how they are going to be treated they just need to bring home the bacon.
Ester Dean
Acting makes me feel broke again, it makes me feel unaccomplished.

I got really excited about Beyoncé, but it was Beyoncé. I think I was more in awe of how pleasant she is.
Ester Dean
I feel like writing songs is cheating on acting. It's weird.
Ester Dean
I see what other people do and what songwriters don't. They don't get out and take care of themselves. Producers turn themselves into a massive brand. Songwriters tend to be under someone else's umbrella. If you're building your own legacy, it can't be under an umbrella.
