More quotes by Steve Grand
Matter flows from place to place, and momentarily comes together to be you.
Steve Grand
I'm not really a very social person. It exhausts me when I'm out.
Steve Grand
I get the most gratification in life by feeling like I'm doing something purposeful and meaningful and makes a difference to other people, and that comes with its pros and cons. I've accepted this is the kind of person that I am, and this is the path I've chosen in life - and I'm stickin' with it.
Steve Grand
When people have expectations, you're going to make a lot of them upset - when in fact I'm not trying to represent anybody but myself.
Steve Grand
Definitely 99% of the hate I get is from other gay people.
Steve Grand
Everyone has to learn to work with people - it's part of being an adult, too.
Steve Grand
I'd rather have a lot of little donations than a couple big ones. That shows that people care and are giving what they can.
Steve Grand
The songs are always drawn from personal experience I'm putting myself into my music. I usually am playing myself. It's art, art that represents my life.
Steve Grand
I care about making music and I care about creating experiences for my fans with my music and my videos and my performances.
Steve Grand
I'm such an awful faker. Everything that comes out of my mouth needs to be the real deal. Not that I ever try to be deceiving, but sometimes it takes a while to find your voice and find what you want to say.
Steve Grand
I would like people to see me as someone who is genuine and sincere and cares about the people who support me, and who doesn't forget how lucky I am to be doing what I love.
Steve Grand
The poetry of life must not be replaced with matter-of-fact prose.
Steve Grand
People don't like what I represent, and they think I'm trying to represent the whole gay community just because I'm a gay person and I make music. By default I'm supposed to represent a whole community? I think that's ridiculous.
Steve Grand
I did a handful of photo shoots and I never made any money for it just because I was trying to build a portfolio. I decided that that's not what I wanted to do.
Steve Grand
I wish I could be someone that is more in the moment. There's a benefit to being who I am because I get things done, but I probably don't need to be in my own head all the time because it's intense in there.
Steve Grand
I don't think that I have much power at all, and I don't think that I'm trying to do anything outside of making my fans happy with the music that I write and record and, of course, I want to branch out and I want to have more fans, so I try to get interviews and I try to talk to different outlets and I try to get my music everywhere it can be.
Steve Grand
I think it's such utter hypocrisy that so many people in our society were obviously all watching pornography and yet we treat these people [actors] like they're sub-human. I think it's just disgusting.
Steve Grand
Every bit of you has been replaced many times over... The point is that you are like a cloud: something that persists over long periods, whilst simultaneously being in flux. Matter flows from place to place and momentarily comes together to be you. Whatever you are, therefore, you are not the stuff of which you are made.
Steve Grand
