The reality is my career started with a song that wasn't finished and a video I didn't know was going on the Internet. It happened so out of my control.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
The craziest thing is I didn't know I could sing like this - ever. My voice has changed, or I've grown into it, woken up.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
I've never made R&B. I've never made gospel. I've never made hip-hop - I don't think I'm going to, but I just want to keep challenging myself.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
What I love more than anything in the entire world is making music. It's what I studied in school.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
It's interesting because all I want to do is make music. I want to sit in my room, play the guitar, make beats, sing... And I have never made less music than when being a musician became my job.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
For me, it's important to ask what are you making, and what's the public's relationship to that. And I say public relationship because I don't really care so much about any sort of reception.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
Lyrically, I've always thought about albums as a record of a period of time.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
Ask about music growing up, I'll tell you I grew up playing classical music, and I didn't grow up in a musical household.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
Everybody thinks that touring is really glamourous, but I pretty much sit in a room all day. I have a sort of office where I do emails, and I go for a run, and then at the end of the night, I go to bed. It's not like some crazy party.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
Ask me my influences, I always talk about Bjork and Beck because they're independent voices in the music industry.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
That's why people come to live music, right? To see something go wrong, something human, something vulnerable.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
I spend a lot of time reading and try to make sure that I can get a little bit of alone time every day.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
You need music that is compelling and intellectual, but you also need music that just feels good and you can laugh about and dance to, and I think I'm trying to marry the two in some way.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
Friends came on the road, came on tour, came in my music videos; I got in the studio with them. I'm a really loyal person, and I don't have a really large group of friends, but the people I hang out with I really, really care about, and they continue to be a part of my life.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
I do play a lot of instruments. I started with the harp when I was young and then sort of moved to guitar and piano.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
The thing about fans is you don't get to choose your own. But every time I meet a fan, I'm like, wow, we would totally be at the same house party.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
When I write songs, it happens very quickly, sometimes 10 to 15 minutes, and I draw inspiration from everything.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
I feel really held in being vulnerable. That's always been the kind of music that I've gravitated to as well, but to feel really supported by my audience in that is a real privilege.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
I spent my whole life in Maryland, but I wanted to experience more - fighting to get to urban areas where there was culture.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
I find, as a woman and as a producer, I spend a lot of time convincing people I actually did the work.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
It's been really fun to see what happens to my body when I don't have an instrument attached to it.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
Graduating from college and starting your life as an adult is a giant transition no matter what.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
Part of success is having a good story, and as a journalist, I totally understand. But it meant that my many, many years of focus and hard work got kind of prepackaged into a Cinderella story. I'm super grateful that it happened, but it left me feeling like I never got to be a full human in the experience.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
I want to have a long career. But that's based on wanting people to buy into my voice and not into a fabricated image.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
I just didn't really know who I was, so I didn't really know what I sounded like. And so I did a lot of writing, and I studied abroad, and I fell in love, and, like... I got to be like any other college student.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
I've always been a very visual creator. I make mood boards or sit with coloured pencils and scribble and try and figure out what I'm trying to work through musically.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
Folk music usually romanticises the road. 'Back in my Body' tells the opposite story.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
Writer's block is your self-critic getting in the way, because creativity will just flow otherwise.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
'Alaska' was filmed at my family's farm in Maryland; 'Dog Years' was filmed at the summer camp I grew up going to in Maine.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
I think so many of the themes from the natural world mimic emotional themes in our lives.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
Something really intense happened to me during the 'SNL' performance. It felt like the person I was made to be faced the person I'm becoming. It was the first time I felt like I was able to make any sense of ownership of my work.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
New York is so strange. Every time I'm there, I very rarely see someone who's dressed cool.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
I played in orchestras all through high school and taught myself how to play guitar.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
The only thing I wanted to do in my music is be human and communicate all the aspects of that, which often means being vulnerable.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
Being 'back in my body' means being able to do the things I love, but do them in the way I love, and in my way, and in my time, giving myself the opportunity to just be me.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
If you're not changing, you're not growing; you're not being present. Change is essential.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
As a producer, as a songwriter, I've spent a lot of time either in my bedroom or in studios, alone.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
It's funny because, based on the music I was making before, if you'd asked me who was the one gatekeeper or influencer whom I'd want to hear my music, I don't think Pharrell would be the first person I'd pick.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
What I love about going home is that, if I turn my phone off or don't open my computer, nothing's changed. Obviously, the world has changed for me, but home looks and feels exactly the same.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
I just kind of, like, know who I am. I think that comes from having an incredibly strong sense of purpose for a very long time.
Quote by -Maggie Rogers
It's not like I see colours. It's just, for me, an incredibly strong association between music and colour.
