quotes from tumblr

haha thanks to you all for sending these quotes or random quotes from my tumblr yea I tend to say/write some pretty random things


"there is a part of me that likes creating a spark it's my way of being a rebel. Nothing wrong with wanting to go outside barefoot in the snow while eating ice cream"

"Our society has become very cruel in how young girls relate to one another and how women relate to one another. All the time I hear women [and young girls] criticize someone else for not having flat abs or being "beautiful" and really it's subjective. What is attractive to you may not be attractive to someone else and we shouldn't be so judgmental. If I ever have a son I hope he brings home a young lady with a great personality and something going for her than just for looks because there is more to life than that"

"No, I don't get offended when people call me a stripper because I know who and what I am as a person. Am I a stripper by all means no I'm not but it's so amusing how people will try to belittle others and they feel the best way to do that is attempting to damage self image"

"People ask me all if the time if I think I am 'sexy' etc and you know...I consider myself like anchovies. I'm just an acquired taste and not everyone loves them and that's okay"

"I have come to learn that the men who are attracted to me are the same ones who are attracted to Angelina Jolie and Dita von Teese and honestly not damn bad at all"

"People will refer to me as Angelina Jolie as an insult and I keep thinking to myself: you think insulting me is by comparing me to a woman who is exceptionally talented, gorgeous inside and out, intelligent/charming and has a hot partner. Okay I take it"

"I think there is nothing wrong with being a burlesque performer. I know when I initially started my idea was the film Burlesque and one thing I learned very fast is every performer has their own view of what "burlesque" is and that makes me drawn to it even much more so. I am way more into the glamour, pin up style and the Hollywood of it all. I think I was born in the wrong decade"

"I am a walking vintage pin up cut out cardboard"

"Books are so attractive, men who read are attractive. I love picking apart a man's brain and honestly I cannot date someone with whom I am unable to have witty banter with"

"You know, honestly I received more hate from people other than his fan base and really I don't even know why. I do think people tend to be a little bit more worried about what goes on in my personal life and who I like, talk to etc. People say 'oh, his fanbase is horrible' but I have found them to be the most amazing, loyal and dedicated. He's so lucky to have them all and not everyone has that and yea I will defend them to the moon and back"

"The focus should be on his music and the focus should be on me as a performer/entertainer, far more interesting"

"Art is such an amazing outlet to explore. I think art should be everywhere and it is everywhere. I honestly think we as a society are losing grasp as to what is culture and I mean everything else is nice too but we need to preserve the classics. Hate to think what the world would be like without Jane Eyre"

"Writing music has always been so therapeutic for me. I started writing when I was 14 because my English teacher encouraged it. I was made fun of so badly in school because of my accent, I refused to talk so I would always write everything. And of course having a musician Mum and big brother music was always there so I have no plans or intentions to become a musician but I do love writing as my outlet"

"People ask a lot especially now why I don't talk about my parents and me growing up in the industry but what they fail to realise is that I lost both of my parents and my big brother...talking about them is not something I do all the time at least not openly. Sure I will always think of and love them but if people knew how close we all were yea it would be hard, people need to be more sensitive" - on musician's criticism for not talking about my family

"Everyone wants to market you into something you're not and honestly I think this is how people burn out very quickly in this business. Even if you have talent if you don't have a personality that isn't going to get you too much of anywhere"

"When I first started performing I was told by one of my big brother's bandmates: you will get haters, you will get fans, you will get admirers and you will get stalkers. Stalkers, I cannot wait to meet you"

"Yes, my brother's friends were shocked when they learned I began performing on stage. They were all so used to me being backstage running around helping out my big brother. I didn't even tell them they showed up one night and I appeared on stage, they were shocked of course"

"It isn't that I don't hate having my photo taken it's just from when I came  home from the hospital with my parents there's photos of me in magazines and newspapers and it's like come on...so yea I just want to be normal go out with friends and have fun. Not worried about taking photos all the time it's gets tiring"

"Yea, I am honoured with the Dita von Teese comparisons. She's a remarkable performer but there can only be one Dita. I want to be the first Natalie Page. But it's great people see that potential in me and I definitely want to work much harder as a performer"

"Race does play a huge factor in all this. I'm half Native American so there is huge pressure and of course everyone wants to 'stereotype'. I definitely look more like my Mum and nothing wrong with that. But it is rather disturbing when people always want to 'assume' someone's ethnicity and pass judgments. One reason why I want to do this, how many Native American performers do we see regularly? I want to set an example and let girls know hey if I'm doing this you can too"

"I don't like shopping but love fashion, the irony in life"

"Yea, people do refer to me as Bella Swan but you  know she was considered the weakest and later turned out to be the strongest. People always forget that"
