More quotes by Marina and the Diamonds
There's no one particular road that will lead you to success. I think everybody will find it differently.
Marina and the Diamonds
I don't want to live in real life. It's too harsh, too brutal.
Marina and the Diamonds
Hollywood infected my brain and I really valued the wrong things in life, but I changed dramatically.
Marina and the Diamonds
I'm not really part of that 'L.A. thing' or that celebrity culture. I'm more like someone who observes it, and I can't ever imagine being like that.
Marina and the Diamonds
I feel like artists that are always quite sad in real life always make really happy music, and artists who are really bouncy and bubbly always make really sad music.
Marina and the Diamonds
[Being in the States] is almost like being on a holiday. It's kind of annoying because everyone's like Oh, you're so obsessed with America, but it's not really that. I just really enjoy being here - I'm not the first British artist to make music here and be inspired by the country.
Marina and the Diamonds
I don't think I'm an instantaneous act the whole world will love in one second - but that's how I've felt about bands I love.
Marina and the Diamonds
Obviously when you're a teen you have no money, so you make, like, three outfits out of one dress. You're like, 'OK cut the arms here. Alright: New party, cut them to here.'
Marina and the Diamonds
I'm a very, very disciplined person.
Marina and the Diamonds
People are complex, and I think it's a huge element of what I do, because you have to balance out the fact that you talk about quite serious things with a sense of irony and tongue-in-cheek humor. That's my personality as well.
Marina and the Diamonds
That's when you know you really fit with someone - when you can just sit there and not do anything. Kind of ignoring each other.
Marina and the Diamonds
I don't really know how to live my life, just like lots of other people don't. I guess you just learn along the way.
Marina and the Diamonds
I love pop music because you can really see what's currently happening in society.
Marina and the Diamonds
I really like the look of the 1950s, lots of suburban Americana influences. I'm 5'4', so I like kitten heels occasionally because I can move around a bit easier, but pointy-toed pumps are very elongating.
Marina and the Diamonds
I think I actually did write about love because I kind of had a fear of it, like we all do, nobody wants to get hurt.
Marina and the Diamonds
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America.
Marina and the Diamonds
I turned off my Google alerts in 2009 as I learnt that following yourself on the Internet very quickly becomes unhealthy.
Marina and the Diamonds
What I've learnt about artists over the years is, artists are usually the opposite to their music.
Marina and the Diamonds
I think each human being wants to make their mark on the world in whatever way they can, and maybe everyone has a slight egomaniac inside of them.
Marina and the Diamonds
You can’t have peace without a war.
