Brian Molko Quotes

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.

I'm not a man of many words, I'm not very expressive or emotional, but it comes out in my music.

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.

For me, poetry was... the fastest way to express what I was feeling, what I was going through.

I sing my sorrow, and I paint my joy.

The way I choose to show my feelings is through my songs.

When something is bothering me, I write a song that tells my feelings.

I think I write songs because of pent-up feelings.

There's so much stuff that you see every day that you want to talk about, but I'm not the type to open up, so the only way I could open up is through music.

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.

I find it hard to talk and say things, but I can always sing about them.

I wasn't a very academic kid, and music was the way for all that feeling and angst and sex and love and anger to be channelled.

As a musician I'm about expressing what's inside, and I think everyone has a song in them that they need to get out, whatever their gig is.

Music is my release.

Music is like a huge release of tension.

Music - not just the lyrics, but the music itself - expresses confused or illicit passions: rage, lust, envy, frustration, channeling these energies and creating an outlet for them.

It was a really strange way that I came into music. Once I gave voice to it, the pit of emotions that I guess I knew was inside of me for a long time, the stream never really stopped.

In a way song writing can almost be detrimental, because suddenly you find an outlet that is a kind of cheating. You don't need to have direct communication. You can say, 'I can't describe it to you, but I will record it and send it to you.'

Singing is just another outlet to express what I feel and to show everyone who I really am. I really don't talk about my personal life that much in interviews because that's my life, but with music, the way I write explains who I am.

Music expresses - you express yourself with music.

I've always heard music in my head since I was a little kid, so I've always played towards that. If I felt bad, that's what I did.

Music is my release.
