beabadoobee: "I think with people who listen to my music, it’s really open to interpretation. And I feel like it’s unfair for people to listen to my music and try to relate it to my life."

beabadoobee: "Everything I write is almost like a diary entry."

beabadoobee: "I think because my life is so much online, people tend to just try and map out everything that goes on in my world. It's like I'm giving this song to you, gain from it what you will."

beabadoobee: "I think I can’t help being honest with what I write."

beabadoobee: "I've been planning on writing the next album and I've had ideas for it for ages and I've already had some songs here and there, but I've been finishing half-written songs and making new ones just yesterday. And it's all really inspiring."

beabadoobee: "It’s definitely made me hold my nationality much closer to my heart knowing there are not a lot of Filipino rock musicians."

beabadoobee: "I've always wanted to be a nursery teacher before even being a musician. And still, my dream is to be a nursery teacher and I just love kids so much that even having them in the studio was such an amazing experience for me."

beabadoobee: "When I write music, I want people to be able to relate it to themselves and people do."

beabadoobee: "Yes, I’m making music, but I am also an Asian woman, and I would like to think that I inspire girls that look like me to pick up guitar."

beabadoobee: "I’m not going to hide my nationality to everyone you know?"

beabadoobee: "It’s annoying having to talk about being a ‘female musician’ when we’re just fucking musicians, but also you have to inspire girls if we want to get to a point where we don’t have to talk about it anymore."

beabadoobee: "It feels like I’m going to be the musician I never planned to be."
