When I first started writing the album, Cry Baby was a song that I really wanted to write because it represented all of these personal insecurities that I had for a long time.

More quotes by Melanie Martinez
I definitely have worked trying to create music that inspires girls to feel confident and strong, and feel like they can do anything.
Melanie Martinez
I go with what I like and I generally just cling to things that are pastel and remind me of being a little kid. It's just what it is right now, but I go through phases.
Melanie Martinez
Make sure this [music industry] is what you love to do, and you can't imagine doing anything else.
Melanie Martinez
I think honestly when I was younger I use to love going to carnivals in Long Island. I use to love carnival season I would drive to every town going to carnivals. That was definitely a favorite memory.
Melanie Martinez
The title is the first thing that I have. Then when I have that title, I have to make sure that the title...is like, so...I have to make sure I can tell a whole story from that one title and like make sure that it, from beginning to end it makes sense.
Melanie Martinez
I'll always definitely strive to write songs that are going to help people feel confident in themselves.
Melanie Martinez
It's just interesting how people relate my success when I would like to think that I worked my ass off for a reason and that it's about the music and not because I was on a TV show.
Melanie Martinez
I think the transition between singing covers on a reality show to being able to do my own thing was really exciting. I'm no longer singing covers every second, and people are actually getting to hear my own original music.
Melanie Martinez
I'm gonna write from personal experience, from emotion, from whatever the hell I'm feeling that day.
Melanie Martinez
It's just weird because like when I was writing Cry Baby I like...the only thing that I was thinking about, when writing it, was the concepts and the visuals, and the way that it sounded kind of happened naturally.
Melanie Martinez
I definitely feel like if I put out a song that was like me being super vulnerable, people would look as me as weak. I don't know if that has to do with me being a girl, or if that really has to do with anything, but I'm sure.
Melanie Martinez
I've had so many insecurities, and am still getting over a lot.
Melanie Martinez
There are obviously so many artists that are very inspiring, but I can't say that they like - that I have someone in mind that is like a creative direction of where I want to go as an artist. I think I'm just doing my own thing.
Melanie Martinez
I'm happy that I get to work with people that I enjoy being around. It's really cool when people understand and want to help your vision and are like rooting for you. I just, I love them a lot.
Melanie Martinez
Cry Baby is a character so I think that the next album is going to be about a specific thing in her life or another place in her world. It's going to be a bit deeper into a bigger picture.
Melanie Martinez
I never had a lot of friends growing up so having this insane amount of love and support really means a lot to me.
Melanie Martinez
I listen to a lot of music. But I definitely haven't looked at an artist and like thought I want to have a song like this.
Melanie Martinez
There are a lot of people who go their whole lives without truly knowing what love is, or ever experiencing that.
Melanie Martinez
I was inspired a little while before The Voice to dye my hair half black half blonde by Cruella De Vil of 101 Dalmatians. One day I was watching it and I told my mom I was going to dye my hair like Cruella's, and she thought I was joking. I came home from the salon, and she didn't talk to me for a few days!
Melanie Martinez
I'm probably the most proud of Mrs. Potato Head, because I had that idea in my head for so long, and I tried writing that song one time and I just couldn't tell the story the way I wanted to, and I couldn't figure it out.
Melanie Martinez
