More quotes by Ryan Tedder
Just because a suit fits, doesn't mean it looks good. You need a tailor. You want to get bespoke.
Ryan Tedder
When I moved to L.A., I was penniless, absolutely beyond broke and in debt up to my eyeballs.
Ryan Tedder
Melody is the single most important thing to any song, period. I don't care what anybody says, it trumps everything. Not because that's my opinion but because I think it's actually indisputable fact. The human brain retains melody easier than it retains words. It's that simple.
Ryan Tedder

Ryan Tedder
I find the songs that have the most human components in production are the ones that will stand the test of time.
Ryan Tedder

Ryan Tedder

Ryan Tedder
If you're talking to an architect, he can look at a blank piece of paper, and once the initial design is there, the formula kicks in. Each room should have something unique and different about it - much the same way that in a song, every eight bars or so, a new piece of information should be introduced.
Ryan Tedder
I'm a huge Lady GaGa fan - she makes the world a more incredible place.
Ryan Tedder
I have to shut down from other artists, because otherwise I end up giving them my stories.
Ryan Tedder
I grew up listening to English music.
Ryan Tedder
The Beatles are the most credible band in the history of music.
Ryan Tedder
I knew I could make money from songwriting, so how much and when was not really the question.
Ryan Tedder
The classic, quote/unquote, craft of songwriting still works it still is relevant.
Ryan Tedder
Everything that kills me , makes me feel alive
Ryan Tedder
Nobody works harder than Lady Gaga. Nobody. She is unbelievable. I don't know how she sleeps, or when or if.
Ryan Tedder
I'm in an odd position because I write across so many genres for so many people and they all influence me, and if I'm going to write as honest an album as possible, it's going to be layered.
Ryan Tedder
