About 50 percent of the songs on the radio are like, 'Live like tomorrow doesn't exist. Like it's my birthday. Like it's the last day of my life'... Such a large percentage of pop music is really about party time.

I appreciate my music is famous, but I'd rather my face wasn't so that I can just live a normal life.

— Sia

I don't care what people think of me, unless they think I'm mean or something, but I don't care if they think I'm like someone else because I know I'm not - I'm a total weirdo. I'm not selling a dream; I'm not selling fame like it is some sort of fantastic thing. Furthermore, I'm just trying to sell music and get on with my real life.

— Sia

I don't go to shows because I just want to listen to the music performed live. I want to get to know the person who's performing it. Or I want to, like, take away a sense that I had an experience that nobody else is going to have again, or a unique experience for that moment.

— Sia

I don't really even go out that much now, except to walk my dogs, because I don't want to be recognized. I used to be a really friendly person, and now I just want to be invisible. Furthermore, I liked myself much more before I got famous. Furthermore, I was much friendlier and had more energy.

— Sia

I don't want to be famous or recognizable. I don't want to be critiqued about the way that I look on the Internet... Furthermore, I've been writing pop songs for pop stars for a couple of years and see what their lives are like, and that's just not something I want.

— Sia

If anyone besides famous people knew what it was like to be a famous person, they would never want to be famous.

— Sia

I got a little bit famous. I didn't like it.

— Sia

I have big dreams. I want to keep songwriting. Direct films. Be a parent.

— Sia

I liked myself much more before I got famous. I was much friendlier and had more energy.
