Lewis Capaldi Quotes

I just want people that like my music to like me.

I just feel like content is content; people want to see it resonate.

The artists that I relate to and love the most are the ones where I can listen to the record, and I can know them better, and for me, that's writing it.

A movie is like a person. Either you trust it or you don't.

We have a song like 'Ready to Love Again' that is really, really special to me. It's the one that I relate to the most. It's very personal, so we really allowed ourselves to go there and be vulnerable and show the fans that we feel and we hurt and we love just like anybody else does. I hope they feel that when they hear it.

I do this acting thing mostly for myself. I like to make a connection and communicate with the audience to make myself feel less lonely.

People make music to get a reaction. Music is communication.

Singing is about telling a story. When you are onstage, you get to be your own self... When acting, you're someone else.

I don't think shoving my butt into people's faces will tell them anything about who I am. How is that connecting to your audience? What is that doing for your music?

How does my music connect to an audience? That is just a complete mystery to me.

There's a oneness to showing yourself to an audience. They feel that. It's healthy. That's what acting is all about.

Sometimes it's hard to open up about your personal life, your relationship because you always want the music to be in the forefront. You want the music to be the biggest carrier of everything that you represent.

I like to see people's eyes when I'm singing to them.

If you show you're human and have something to say, people will connect with you.

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

Records that were the sound of somebody - more often than not, a she - speaking with a voice that had never been heard before. Somebody who'd never had the nerve to speak up before. I felt: 'I wanna meet these people.' Which is unusual for me: I don't usually want to meet the people who are making music that I like. But they sounded interesting.

I guess trying to throw my body into the guitar is so natural for me that I don't even know how to explain it. I can't imagine life without it.

Acting is largely about putting on masks, and music is about removing them.
