If I’m out of town and I’m in a situation where I have to be creative, it has to be hot dogs because that’s my comfort food. Ester Dean Read Quote
I always tell people I write songs, but I’m a writer. It’s a difference. I can write songs to music, but I can write a story. I can see ideas spark in me. Ester Dean Read Quote
I’m a very emotional writer. I always need to have a boyfriend. I always need to have some food. I always need to have a heater at my feet, and I drink this thing called Cool Brew, which I found in Louisiana. It’s like condensed coffee. Ester Dean Read Quote
I write by myself and then deliver the song. Everybody knows, ‘Leave Ester alone when she’s in her zone.’ Give me a studio and the tracks, and I’ll call you when the doctor is done. Ester Dean Read Quote
I see what other people do and what songwriters don’t. They don’t get out and take care of themselves. Producers turn themselves into a massive brand. Songwriters tend to be under someone else’s umbrella. If you’re building your own legacy, it can’t be under an umbrella. Ester Dean Read Quote
I’m more than a songwriter. I’m a creative person. Some people you just always see. I won’t allow you to see me unless it makes sense. There’s a reason to see me. Ester Dean Read Quote
