More quotes by Joss Stone
The fact is when I get pissed off about something or something awful has happened, I just say, 'You know what? Thank you very much. Thank you for the lyrics. Because that is exactly what you just gave me.' There's no real negative then. So if something happens, I don't cry about it. I just find myself a pen and I figure it out.
Joss Stone
I don't like listening to music that isn't real.
Joss Stone
There's always a silver lining to every cloud and everything has to happen for a reason and if everything's really challenging, then you can make it into a positive.
Joss Stone
I made my new album 'Colour Me Free!' in a week with my own money.
Joss Stone
I really love art and I always have in every single different form and I just hope that I'm able to give some art that will touch some people and help them to be more positive and stronger.
Joss Stone
When you get your first record deal, you will do anything, because you just want to sing.
Joss Stone
I wanted out of my record deal with EMI. They wanted me to record one type of album I wanted to record the type of music I wanted to make.
Joss Stone
As a singer, I've always said, Yes, I smoke weed, when I'm asked. Of course I say yes, because why wouldn't I smoke weed? There are many reasons not to, though not that many compared to the reasons to do it. I've always been open about it ... but people go, Hippie! No, not listening to you, and I think that's a bloody shame.
Joss Stone
People started saying I was ignoring my country, making up stories about me. Ludicrous things, like that I throw tea on my assistants.
Joss Stone
People grow. It's okay to grow. Some people find that difficult to grasp.
Joss Stone
I think that people are having to do like really crazy things to shock people now, to get people's attention and it kind of, it's this way in lots of different aspects of life. You know, people fight for attention. It's competitive. So they need to be the one that stands out.
Joss Stone
Madonna's not the best singer in the world, but she was awesome with her entertainment and all of her shock tactics and stuff and that's where it began. She then inspired all sorts of other girls to do that. But I don't know, I just think music's kind of important too. So you've gotta know where that line is especially when you are good at singing.
Joss Stone
People say I'm the white Aretha Franklin. I wish I was her.
Joss Stone
It's sad that people listen to music and decide how the singer should look.
Joss Stone
The British press has been unfair to me and the public has followed.
Joss Stone
My family fight, that's the way it is. We're not common as muck or anything but we do have a little fight now and then.
Joss Stone
I've got a checklist of things I want - including a Brit, a Grammy, an Oscar and a white poodle. Sometimes it gets lonely, and I want a baby too! I'm ticking things off the list.
Joss Stone
If I could be a doctor and save lives I would, but I can't so I sing songs.
Joss Stone
I like many different things you know so I'm probably going to experiment, and if I didn't I'd be a little bit strange and boring and stiff and kind of dead, and I'm very not that.
Joss Stone
If I was a person that felt success is money, and for some people it is, I won't yuck someone's yum - if that's your thing, that's your thing. Go for it. Make as much money as you can. I don't care. Not my thing. My thing is something else. So I don't miss that. At all. Who needs it? How much money do you really need?
