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.

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.
Ester Dean
Acting makes me feel broke again, it makes me feel unaccomplished.
Ester Dean
I feel like writing songs is cheating on acting. It's weird.

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.

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.
Ester Dean
I did a lot of songs that I sold, but then they never came out and I never got paid for it. You learn real fast that the music industry, in the beginning, you're not going to get paid for a while, and then you start getting the accolades.
Ester Dean

Ester Dean
Stars can't shine without darkness.
Ester Dean
I always wanted to be a psychiatrist.
Ester Dean
You have to break your fingers to learn how to play guitar.
Ester Dean
I feel guilty because I want to act more than I want to write songs. I'm a person who likes to transition I like to grow.
Ester Dean
I'm young. You can't just sit there and be satisfied.
Ester Dean
I try to reach for the stars because if you say you want something small and it happens, you don't believe it. So I try to say something wild and crazy.
Ester Dean
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.
Ester Dean
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.
Ester Dean
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'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 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.
