Because I grew up around the reality and heartbreak of acting, I didn’t want to have anything to do with it.
I’m really good at making teen angst romantic. I’m really good at dealing with heartbreak and things like that and making it into this whole experience. But there’s no way to make someone-on-the-Internet-said-something-mean-about-me into romantic angst where you can listen to music and cry or whatever.
When you go through heartbreak, you just do the things that get you by. Eventually, you realise it’s about making the most of life.
For the most part, that message hasn’t changed a lot over the years – love is still love, and heartbreak is still heartbreak.
A lot of the songs are based on my previous relationship. It didn’t work out. I lost him, and it ruined me. I had to learn to get back on my feet. I used that heartbreak to create something really beautiful.
The depth of the love of parents for their children cannot be measured. It is like no other relationship. It exceeds concern for life itself. The love of a parent for a child is continuous and transcends heartbreak and disappointment.
Actually, ‘Phir Na Mile Kabhi’ is a very emotional and a heartbreak song and somewhere it does touch the heart of the listeners as it touched my heart as well.
Awkward conversations are painful, but they’re way easier than divorce, resentment, and heartbreak.
A song like ‘Heartbreaker,’ it’s a song about learning – it’s not necessarily a song about heartbreak. It’s more than that. We write those songs to relive how we got over something.
Everybody reading the same book at the same time pulls people together. It does start a conversation. If you’re going to read ‘The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane,’ you’re going to talk about heartbreak and loss and all of those things that people don’t talk about as a community.
Guys have a level of insecurity and vulnerability that’s exponentially bigger than you think. With the primal urge to be alpha comes extreme heartbreak. The harder we fight, the harder we fall.
I’d never devote a whole record to heartbreak.
I always feel that heartbreak is a part of love and it has its own beauty.
Especially with grief and heartbreak, you can go through these things and think, ‘I will never be whole again.’
A teenage foot that never tapped to ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ in the ’50s probably belonged to a hopeless grind.
‘Broken’ is a story of two broken people coming together. I think every one of us can associate with it, as we all have faced a heartbreak sometime in our life.
I would hope the first heartbreak anniversary is the only time you feel it, and then after that, you don’t really even notice.
When you have heartbreak, what’s important is that you don’t go halfway. Go all the way down. Don’t take pills that keep you in limbo. Cry out all the feelings. Then your own energy for life will put you up again. You become stronger.
Well, I write a lot of poetry – that’s where it usually all starts. I definitely want to show you guys sides of me – love, loss, heartbreak – all of that good stuff!
I learned that, with grief, you have to take it one day at a time and learn how to find the happiness amid the heartbreak.
I’ve been through heartbreak and uncertainty and giddy crushes and everything. We all have.
I have experienced heartbreak but not in a classical sense.
Good friends are often our lifelines. Mine have seen me through heartbreak, through the deaths of loved ones, and through that phase in college when I was obsessed with denim jumpsuits and matching fingerless gloves.
Every song is something that I’ve been through or an emotion I’ve felt – like falling in love or heartbreak.
I would say that my music is surreal, it’s inspired by dreams, and it’s inspired by heartbreak.
That’s part of it: You can’t be a country singer-songwriter if you’ve never had an official heartbreak.
I want people to know that I’m not just ‘Chillin’ It.’ I’m a real person. There’s heartbreak and trials, and I hope I put that in my music.
Heartbreak is a real thing.
I always wanted to do things on my own terms, and unfortunately in this industry, that’s not something that is easily given. You’re at the mercy of other people, but then you still have that drive to continue on. That’s an equation for a lot of heartbreak.
But I also think all of the great stories in literature deal with loneliness. Sometimes it’s by way of heartbreak, sometimes it’s by way of injustice, sometimes it’s by way of fate. There’s an infinite number of ways to examine it.
I always prefer to write songs about emotional situations and heartbreak because I like getting into the character.
Heartbreak can be so pathetic.
Romance is one of the things that most countries share, and I’ve noticed how different communities have their own ways of singing about love and heartbreak.
When you’re in the middle of it, when you’re a kid growing up, you don’t think, ‘This is my first heartbreak.’ You just think, ‘My heart is broken.’ But then as a parent, you look back, and you see your child go through his or her first heartbreak, and you’re realizing, ‘Oh my God, this is her first heartbreak.’
Lesley Gore’s part-time field was pop singer, and in her brief but urgent prime, she was the Queen of Teen Angst. She endured heartbreak as a birthday girl betrayed by her beau in ‘It’s My Party,’ savored revenge in the sequel ‘Judy’s Turn to Cry’ and belted the proto-feminist anthem ‘You Don’t Own Me.’
I think the heartbreak of September 11 – America’s grief not only over the loss of life but also the loss of our own innocence – has expanded us as people because it has tenderized our hearts. On a psychological level, the American people have matured as a result of that awful day.
I’m a big fan of Elvis, man. I got ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ tattooed on my chest.
I actually don’t pay a lot of attention to the movie ‘industry’… I just do the work when I get it. I never considered anything I was in, or did, as a possible breakthrough for me. I have advised other actors not to expect anything. Expecting a ‘breakthrough’ is almost an automatic for sure ‘let down’ or heartbreak.
Not to be a bummer, but heartbreak is great for inspiration – we all know that – and it’s really hard to write songs if I go through a phase where I don’t feel much.
I wasn’t in any super duper serious relationships growing up, but yeah, I know what that heartbreak feels like.
Don’t get me wrong: I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Even the word ‘cancer’ brings back the nausea and pain, the fear I felt, and the heartbreak I saw in my parents’ faces. The smells that fill hospitals and the constant tired feeling that comes with treatment are also permanently stuck in my memory.
