Troye Sivan Quotations

I wanted to write a song about war and that classic 'We want you' recruitment style from the point of view of the recruiter.

When I was born, I always knew something was a little bit different about me.

I feel like part of getting better at writing is knowing where to find that inspiration. Right after something happens to me, the first thing I'll do is go write when those feelings are really, really fresh.

I'm on the path to being someone I'm equally terrified by and obsessed with. My true self.

I think pop music is in such an exciting place right now, and I do kind of credit that to Lorde with 'Royals.' I think that song changed everything in the pop scene. All of the sudden, alternative pop music became pop music.

I share every aspect of my life with the internet. Whether or not that’s a good thing I don’t know,

I've definitely always had a passion for entertaining.

I feel like I have just been really, really lucky to meet some of the most successful and great actors alive today.

Right after something happens to me, the first thing I'll do is go write when those feelings are really, really fresh. I'll hum a tune into my phone sometimes.

People think I must have pushy parents, but that's not the case.

I have a majority girl audience on YouTube.

I think that the beauty of 'Spud' is that everyone can connect to the character of Spud in so many ways. It's about real experiences that happen to kids all the time.

I watched pretty much every coming out video on YouTube that has ever been posted; I watched it in between 14 and a half and 15. Those coming out videos, and those people on YouTube, those brave, brave, brave people on YouTube, without them, I don't know where I'd be.

The thing I'm proudest of is probably like any sort of work I've done in the LGBTQ space.

I'm the type of person who listens to like sad music when I'm sad to feel sadder, and to feel sorry for myself.

I ALWAYS put ketchup on my mac and cheese. Always.

I love, love, love songwriting. It's like the most therapeutic thing in the world.

I want to be able to like just chill and make whatever I want to make.

The only way I knew I was ready to come out was I was being driven crazy by the fact that I was not out.

The only thing that really goes through my head when I'm picking out an outfit is, do I feel cool and cute. I try as much as I can to push out any worry about what anyone else is gonna think and just kinda focus on, do I think this is cool.

At some point in my life I would like to win a Grammy. I think that would be a good thing to do.

Sleeping like an internet person takes commitment, it all starts in the late afternoon.

When I made YouTube videos, I am the one who's uploading it, I'm the one who's editing it, so I'm very in control of what I'm sharing and not sharing. Whereas in music, it's a lot more of pouring my heart out and kind of just putting it out there for the best.

My main goal is to try to make fun for everyone. And to see my fans responding to it and to see them having fun is really rewarding.

What kind of sick person would answer rainbows?

I'm angry because homophobia is still a thing...

I genuinely love you all and the fact that some of you are not feeling so great at the moment really really upsets me.

There are so many people I would love to meet and say thank you for posting their videos, because hearing their stories and everything comforted me.

I think I have to be aware of how much power words can have. And it makes me consider everything that I say before I say it, because you can really help a lot of people, or you can really, really mess things up.

I'm so thankful that I have gotten the opportunity to fulfill my life purpose of staying inside on tumblr all day.

I talk about things in music that I would never talk about with my best friends, which I think seems like a weird thing, but my justification in my head as to why it's okay is because it's cryptic enough and there's enough meat around it to make it all okay and no one can really prove what any of the songs mean.

I didn't realize how much me hiding my sexuality also meant that I hid a lot of just my identity as a person.

I love you as much as I love Nutella.

I was definitely scared of fashion growing up just because I didn't want people to think I was gay. But now that I'm out, I feel like it's such a personal journey for me that I'm going on every single day where I feel more and more confident and comfortable to wear the clothes that I want to wear, and to have the interest that I have, and to paint my nails if I want to.

Sharing is caring, but I don't care.

I think that there is a lot of power in a gay guy having a really (hopefully) successful music career while just being completely openly gay and honest and happy.

Favorite color to paint my nails is black, always.

I think I realize now I was really, really scared to express myself through fashion or certain music or certain TV shows. I was petrified that anyone would ever think I was gay god forbid, and so, once I got over that I kind of could just let myself be.

I realize that I'm kind of a different person than I thought I was.

The thing that I really want to try and do is just live my life really openly and honestly. I think there's so much power in that, as simple as it is.

You're all beautiful. And you shouldn't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I call it viewing from afar, they call it stalking.

If I want to be remembered as anything in this life it's just 'nice'.I feel like being nice to others is the coolest thing anyone can be.

No one notices I'm breaking inside.

Let yourself be the person you've secretly always wanted to be

There are people in the world who 1,000% will love you just the way you are. So no matter what, keep that in mind.
