More quotes by Joss Stone
If you give yourself too much time, you kind of over-obsess about the music. It's not supposed to be like that.
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
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
The musicians one day are going to listen to me.
Joss Stone
It's nice to know that you're worth something and music really does put that kind of light back into you. Well, it does for me anyway. I've been through some very interesting times in my life and there is certain songs that I go to and I'm like, ok, it's not that bad.
Joss Stone
I like to make sure I don't sing songs that are like self hating and feeling sorry for yourself 'cause that's not the kind of legacy I want to leave really. I want people to feel like strength, especially young women.
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
I would never want something I'm wearing or the way I'm dancing or something to overshadow what I'm doing. I'd rather grab people's attention with my voice.
Joss Stone
If I could be a doctor and save lives I would, but I can't so I sing songs.
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
People grow. It's okay to grow. Some people find that difficult to grasp.
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
The only country that hasn't liked my music is my own.
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
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
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
It's not a deliberate thing. It's not like I was rejecting the UK, which is what the papers said. It's just that when you spend a lot of time in your formative years around an accent, you're going to pick it up. I had been living in LA for a bit and that's what happened.
Joss Stone
I feel like I'm a quick learner and I'm also very quick to forget. That's why I can't play an instrument because I can't bloody remember it.
Joss Stone
People say I'm the white Aretha Franklin. I wish I was her.
Joss Stone
I don't like listening to music that isn't real.
Joss Stone
