Hal Sparks Quotes

I put my emotions in my music and I want people to relate to that.

Music is about expressing things you can't in everyday life.

I started to use music almost like a therapist, where it's like, everything that I don't really dare to say or speak about, I can sing about.

Strangely, I feel that I become increasingly reclusive in my normal life and more open and candid in my music.

What's the point of a song if you can't be honest?

Singing allowed me to express myself in ways that I wouldn't be able to do otherwise.

Now, performing is second nature and I love every second of it. It is a very emotional thing when I can't play a song; maybe I'm hitting on something that I don't want to deal with. All of it is so personal. It is like therapy.

When something really hits me, it makes me want to either jump off something really high or lie down and be buried. I want people to get hit and caught by my music.

I'm not afraid to write my feelings in songs.

The biggest thing that I hope people take away when they listen to my music is that they feel that there is an outlet being presented that allows them to be more authentic and for them to be more honest in their own lives.

I'm very expressive. Expressing my emotions and experiences through music has always been an important outlet for me. Many of my songs are influenced by personal events and experiences that I have gone through.

My outlet is my music, and it's been this way since I was 4 years old.

I need theatre for my equilibrium because in theatre, the actors don't care so much about image, about celebrity; you are more independent.

Whatever it is that I feel, I express it! I am free with my joy, my laughter, my pleasure, my pain, and I am blessed in that way as an actress that I can access those feelings within myself and not be ashamed to show whatever that is that's appropriate for the character.

These people are artists. These people are musicians. They're taking it out and trying to express it that way.

In music the passions enjoy themselves.

Growing up, I wasn't as comfortable expressing myself as I am now, and I think that's why I chose acting: because it's acceptable to have your feelings. It's a place that they want you to feel. Whereas in life, growing up, it was 'Be quiet!' and 'Keep it to yourself.'

Rap helps me connect emotionally.

I love classical music and have been playing violin since I was seven. Music helps me to express feelings in a way words often cannot.

I turned to music originally because of my past and needing a release or an outlet to get out anger or frustration or hurt.

Acting has always been a way for me to express the emotions I had buried. If I hadn't acted, I would have gone insane. In my acting class, I could let out my real tears and everyone thought it was the character. But no, it was me.

I find a therapy in playing music, in many different ways.

I never was very capable of expressing my feelings or emotions in words. I don't know whether this is the cause why I did it in music and also why I did it in painting. Or vice versa: That I had this way as an outlet. I could renounce expressing something in words.

Through music I either tame my demons or unleash them and allow them to be what they are. I don't want the music to be about provocation, I want the music to bring you to a place where you feel at home.

Acting has always been a way for me to express myself, and show all my vulnerabilities and flaws through my characters.
