More quotes by Nelly Furtado
I say it's a girls' world.
Nelly Furtado
I just think motherhood made me better, I think it rejuvenates you as a person, mind, body and spirit, and I think every woman is different.
Nelly Furtado
You can have the best of intentions and think you're doing the right thing but you fall down when you're going against your own instinct.
Nelly Furtado
When you follow your heart, you always win and it feels so good.
Nelly Furtado
I'm channelling my 14-year-old self. She's thinking about putting on her big hoop earrings and baggy pants and going to the mall downtown.
Nelly Furtado
When she walks she walks with passion when she talks, she talks like she can handle it when she asks for something, boy she means it she know you would do [anything] to keep her by your side she'll make you work hard make you spend hard make you want all, all of her she'll make you fall real fast [in love].
Nelly Furtado
I don't really believe in good and evil. I never had. I think it's enabled me to open my mind.
Nelly Furtado
I finally feel content with my work. My fruit has started to ripen. I'm able to dissect emotion properly and distill it into a song that reverberates in a truthful place.
Nelly Furtado
If we stepped away from so much of the victimhood talk, I think that would make a big change for the better. It does limit art. The conversation wouldn't just be one-sided.
Nelly Furtado
I'd love to try and teach Donald Trump how to write a song. I'd love to put him in a room with another person - someone who's protesting him at the Women's March. I'd put the three of us in a room and all write a song together. If that can happen, it proves we can get over our differences.
Nelly Furtado
I actually feel pretty inspired and hopeful by the fact that protests are becoming the norm now. They're less part of fringe society and more a part of mainstream society. That's exciting. There is no fringe anymore. We should all be included.
Nelly Furtado
Touring is a favorite part of what I do. I love connecting with the fans in that immediate way.
Nelly Furtado
All of the women in music business understand that. They're fighting in a misogynist world. That's why they wear some elements of their femininity and have to blend it in with masculinity... it's a kind of protection. Somebody like Madonna is strong but soft. You have to be that way in this business.
Nelly Furtado
I definitely believe that we really need to stop putting things in masculine and feminine boxes and realize that men and women both contain masculine and feminine energy.
Nelly Furtado
As an artist, comfort can be your worst enemy.
Nelly Furtado
We can't automatically think about young women in makeup negatively. Sometimes a woman engages in these new forces and energies of beauty coming into her world. They can become tools. She's trying to express her femininity outwardly. I'm still learning too.
Nelly Furtado
I'm privileged that I'm an artist.
Nelly Furtado
Art and life go together. I have to have a life filled with experiences to make art, and I have to have art around me to live well.
Nelly Furtado
If you're spreading light, you don't care where the sunshine goes.
Nelly Furtado
I am impressed when music matters, when genres are broken, when spirits are lifted, when people make a difference, and when people are true to themselves.
Nelly Furtado
