More quotes by Marina and the Diamonds
When you are in the studio, you don't have anybody to feed off of meanwhile, when you are playing live, you interact with people and you feel the energy in the room. When the crowd is going crazy, that definitely impacts your vocal performance. I prefer to sing live.
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
[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 want to provoke people with thoughts, not by taking my clothes off. It's time to move on from Stripperville.
Marina and the Diamonds
I'm vulnerable, I'm vulnerable. I am not a robot.
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 love pop music because you can really see what's currently happening in society.
Marina and the Diamonds
I don't want to live in real life. It's too harsh, too brutal.
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
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 am absolutely not a roll-on-stage kind of girl! I would be totally freaked out if I didn't warm up, and I don't know how other singers do it.
Marina and the Diamonds
Trends in culture all serve a purpose and that's always indicative in fashion and music, you can always tell what's going on culturally in the mindset of the young generation if you look at those mediums.
Marina and the Diamonds
I've always been interested in how fast-moving our identity is and that I've never been able to pin down who I truly am. That inspires me to write, because I feel like that cements me a bit, in that I find my identity in being an artist.
Marina and the Diamonds
My biggest fear is love and getting hurt in love but still believing.
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
I think celebrity culture and sexuality in pop music is really important, but I want there to be an alternative for people.
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
I've really come into my own as an artist. I'm much more sure of my identity and understand it much better, and have accepted the fact that I like to jump around a lot in terms of who I am and what kind of music I create, and that it is okay - in fact, that is my main identity, the fact that I do that.
Marina and the Diamonds
I have sold my soul. I would sell my soul, if I could have it all.
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.
