Colbie Caillat Quotations

I don't take relationships too seriously, but everyone else seems to. And when you get your heart broken, it's like the end of the world. And I look at it as that was one moment in your life, one chapter. That person helped you grow and figure out what kind of person you want to be with in the future.

Talking with my friends and family every day helps keep me grounded and connected to home. They are the most important things to me.

I like how my body feels when I'm in shape; I love how it feels after I work out each day. Fitting in the clothes I like to wear comfortably and living a healthy lifestyle is important to me.

I love to exercise outside in the fresh air and sun: hiking, swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, and jogging.

Bob Marley is a huge influence. I love reggae music, but I also love the purpose of the songs he writes and the style of the music - it takes your worries away and makes you feel good, and I think that's what music is about.

I pay attention to how I look but I don't let it go too far.

I think the older you get, the more you know about life, and the more you learn about yourself and you become comfortable in your own skin. So the older I'm getting, the more fun I'm having.

I'm always shy and timid when I write in front of people.

Being a musician is a job - it is just a really fun one!

Writing is my therapy. My feelings build up inside of me and then I sit down and write a song.

I didn't want to call and schedule shows or call and make people listen to my music. Luckily, my friends and family really stayed on me and made me put myself out there.

I usually end up falling for one of my really good guy friends because I know everything about them, and you fall in love with their personalities, and it makes them become attractive to you in your eyes.

Whenever I'm on tour and I'm in my hotel room and I'm writing and playing my guitar, I go in the bathroom and I record whatever I'm writing in there. It's just what I love to do.

Songwriting is like a therapy, it's a connection that you have with another person, and I'm not scared of it at all for some reason.

And when I perform on my own tour, I have to talk myself into going out on that stage every single night.

I was always shy and had a huge fear of being onstage.

Well, I started writing songs about three years ago when I learned to play the guitar, but I've been singing since I was eleven.

When I turned 19 I kinda realized that I needed to write my own songs instead of singing songs written by other people.

I miss everything about you. Can't believe that I still want youAnd after all the things we've been through.

I love 'Breathe' with Taylor (Swift) but I've been performing 'Lucky' with Jason (MRaz) all over the world in the past year so I'm glad that's what won.

Wait a second Why should you care what they think of you? When you're all alone, by yourself, do you like you? Do you like you? You don't have to try so hard, you don't have to give it all away, you just have to get up You don't have to change a single thing.

Creating music fulfills me. It gives me purpose. It connects me with the world...

Taking a song and bringing it to life in a professional recording studio can be an intimidating process at first; I know it certainly was for me. So to be able to offer support and guidance to an emerging singer-songwriter is a huge honor. I look forward to playing a role in such an exciting time of someone's songwriting career.

I try to keep myself busy. I always hang out with my family and friends and my dogs. Go to the beach. Go swimming. Go get exercise. Go on a hike.

I don't like being vulnerable. I feel uncomfortable in it.

What's really cool is to be able to write music and have people around the world [who are] able to relate to it. They tell you that [your] song helped them get through a divorce or they got married to that song. It makes me want to keep doing that for [myself] and for people.

Be happy and comfortable with who you are, whoever it may be.

I get inspired by what I go through. Experiencing all these different things we all go through like heartache, falling in love, watching a family member or a friend going through [something], and trying to write about it from a different perspective.

A great song should lift your heart, warm the soul and make you feel good.
