I have a few songs that I'm figuring out and writing. I'm still figuring out the whole concept and how it's gonna connect to Cry Baby, but I have some ideas, yes.

More quotes by 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!

I definitely have worked trying to create music that inspires girls to feel confident and strong, and feel like they can do anything.

Even if the song meant a lot to me, I would still probably perform it live.

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.

I'm gonna write from personal experience, from emotion, from whatever the hell I'm feeling that day.

I obviously have a different connection to each song in a different way, and they all mean something different to me.

If I don't see a music video to it while writing it, I just scrap it immediately. It's very visual.

Make sure this [music industry] is what you love to do, and you can't imagine doing anything else.

So like what I want to do is connect all of my albums and make it tell a bigger kind of story. So the first album is very focused on her family life and her love life.
Melanie Martinez
Image
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 think that the next album is specifically for sure from Cry Baby's perspective, but it's not necessarily about her family-life or her love-life, or anything like that, it's more about this place in this town. The place has different characters in there, so in every song there's gonna be different characters that appear.

I'll always definitely strive to write songs that are going to help people feel confident in themselves.

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.

And still as an adult like I do as well, you know what I mean like I literally just cried in the first interview that I had today. Like, I'm just a very emotional human.

[My style in three words] youthful, sweet, and diverse.

Basically it's the idea of celebrities being in the spotlight and just because you think that they should be perfect, that they're still human and they still have flaws just like everyone else. So that was the real meaning behind Dollhouse, at least how it related to me because it's something I was annoyed with at the time.

There are a lot of people who go their whole lives without truly knowing what love is, or ever experiencing that.

Just because I'm an artist doesn't mean I should be treated differently.

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.

Cry Baby is just a character in this world that I'm trying to create, and the music videos are really important to me, and I've fought to obviously get all of them approved.
