I love when people mirror themselves in my music, and I think that’s the whole point of it – not telling people what it is or how they’re supposed to feel… but you having a relationship with my song makes it real to me. Robyn Read Quote
Being onstage and communicating with an audience was part of my life since I was very little, but I was never pushed into singing. Robyn Read Quote
I don’t know much about making films or TV programs, but what’s cool about being in the studio is that you have more time. Robyn Read Quote
Filming costs so much money, so it’s such a nerve-racking process, whereas being in a studio is quite cheap compared to that, so you have more time to work on things until you feel good about them. That makes it easier to explain a certain feeling and be in a vulnerable place while making sure it does what you want it to do. Robyn Read Quote
I listen to music very intensely as well: When I listen to an artist I really love, I feel like I know them. I feel like I understand what they’re thinking about, even though I’ve never met them or talked to them. Robyn Read Quote

When you’re 17 and you have an idea, people don’t really listen to you. I came out of an environment where my parents were always pushing me to do what I wanted and be creative, and I was not used to the industry’s way of thinking. Robyn Read Quote
My friends who are not from Sweden tell me that I’m more reserved or maybe more … I guess the opposite of what a Latin American would be. Maybe because Scandinavians are more careful with their words and I guess it takes a lot to become a friend of a Swede. Robyn Read Quote
Between 2014 and 2016, I was just, like, extremely sad. Like, really, really just not able to be in the spotlight. Robyn Read Quote
