I made up 'Badlands'; anything I say, goes. I came to realize I was materializing a metaphor for my mental state.
Quote by -Halsey
I like writing about places, about people and environments. When I create a world, it lets me go in and define the details of that world.
Quote by -Halsey
To be fair, I did come out of nowhere. 'Ghost' was the first song I ever did in a studio, my first time ever cutting a professional vocal.
Quote by -Halsey
I was a fan of One Direction when I was 16, but I was also a fan of Bring Me The Horizon and hardcore bands.
Quote by -Halsey
If I go out there and am myself, and I do what makes me comfortable and what I think is true to my artistry, and they don't like it, then that's fine. I walk off stage, and I know there's nothing there's nothing I could have done differently.
Quote by -Halsey
People around me like me the best when I'm depressed because I'm a bit more passive.
Quote by -Halsey
In one week, I went from being a girl who owed a guy thousands of dollars - my manager Anthony was paying for my outfits, paying for my food; I was sleeping in his parents' basement - to taking meetings with every major label in America. The next morning, I had a record deal and wrote him a cheque to pay back all that money.
Quote by -Halsey
I have this first album that sells more than 100,000 copies in its first week, debuts at number two, goes gold, the single goes platinum, we're doing Madison Square Garden.
Quote by -Halsey
I put so much of myself out there and make myself so accessible that sometimes I fear I make myself too accessible.
Quote by -Halsey
My first album was called 'Badlands,' and it's something that I think I'm most proud of having done in my life.
Quote by -Halsey
Being a musician, people ask you a lot about what musicians inspire you, and there's plenty of musicians that I love and respect, but I think that I'm the most inspired by cinema.
Quote by -Halsey
I want any kid who listens to my music to see that I am confident with all elements of my personality that I can't change.
Quote by -Halsey
You can expect nothing in being a musician, and you have to be just very thankful every time it goes positively for you.
Quote by -Halsey
At the end of the day, every decision I make about my music is about creating a collective.
Quote by -Halsey
So many people are concerned with being the perfect 'something.' Whether it's the perfect singer, the perfect sexy girl, or the perfect feminist. I don't want to be the perfect anything.
Quote by -Halsey
Every song I write is autobiographical and is about people, and that's one of the things that gets complicated. You have to decide where's your place as a songwriter.
Quote by -Halsey
I think, growing up in a small town - I grew up in a lot of different places. I grew up in a city environment, a more suburban environment, a more rural environment. That's the beauty of New Jersey is you get a lot of different types of living.
Quote by -Halsey
I was a weirdo. I think I wanted to be liked, but I didn't have the attention or bother to actually make an effort to be. I also think I had a different perception of what I needed to do to be liked.
Quote by -Halsey
I hate feeling like a prisoner. I show up somewhere, and I can't explore the city because there's, like, 6,000 to 10,000 people on the lookout for me.
Quote by -Halsey
Most artists, their 60th show was in front of no one. My first show was in front of 1,200 people.
Quote by -Halsey
I didn't even realize I was writing songs - I thought I was just being witty and sarcastic.
Quote by -Halsey
I write songs very quickly, so the 20 minutes of joy I get out of writing a song doesn't compare to the two months of joy I get engaging with the people who like my music.
Quote by -Halsey
A guitar can be so human, so sorrowful, so angry, and I wanted to figure out how to achieve that vibe without having to actually use guitars, because 'Badlands' is a very futuristic record - and making it that in an era of futuristic music is a really hard thing to do!
Quote by -Halsey
In 2016, makeup has become an incredible passion and hobby for men and women, but it hasn't become mainstream.
Quote by -Halsey
I learned how quickly I could go from having never met someone to having the world think I'm dating them.
Quote by -Halsey
When you're an artist, you're expected to describe yourself in interviews every day in five words.
Quote by -Halsey
The 'Room 93' EP was just kind of picking apart the sense of voyeurism and the sense of isolation and turning it into, essentially, a little black book and reflecting on - at that time - 19 years of me forming relationships with people.
Quote by -Halsey
As a songwriter, pop music really is a love and a joy and a science, and I feel like a lot of people look at pop music with a very formulaic perspective in numbers and patterns, but an outsider would think that the process is very natural.
Quote by -Halsey
Please don't erase my race because I'm white-passing. There is literally nothing I can do about my complexion.
Quote by -Halsey
You numb yourself so you're not terrified when you're on TV at 7 o'clock in the morning with Justin Bieber, who you just met a couple of days before, having to perform in front of millions of people.
Quote by -Halsey
The idea of 'Badlands' was creating a space with sound, which is a really difficult thing to do.
Quote by -Halsey
I have to remember for every kid saying something awful, there's a kid saying something great.
Quote by -Halsey
The cool thing about my show and me is that I'm a writer, and I'm a writer first if I don't have music.
Quote by -Halsey
I was obsessed with learning about social behaviors. I remember explaining to my mom that kids on my soccer team were fighting because of dyads and triads.
Quote by -Halsey
That's one thing the musicians don't remember: you don't choose your demographic - they choose you.
Quote by -Halsey
Even if you can't relate to what I'm singing, I hope you can believe in it and see it as something that it is real.
Quote by -Halsey
I would love to write a screenplay for 'Badlands' one day. I don't think I could ever have the patience to do it; I don't even have the patience to write songs. I write some of the shortest songs ever because I don't have the patience.
Quote by -Halsey
I'm a musician with a very unique mental state, I suppose. I'm agoraphobic. I'm scared to leave my house. I haven't been alone in, like, two years. I'm either with my boyfriend or my assistant, my manager or my tour manager. I won't go anywhere by myself; I'm too terrified.
Quote by -Halsey
For me, writing about hotels is like writing about being in a parallel universe. The sense of voyeurism, and the sense of removedness, and there are all these people silently above you and next to you.
