Sia (musician)

thumb|Sia in 2011 Sia Kate Isobelle Furler (/ˈsiːə/; born 18 December 1975) is an Australian singer-songwriter, record producer and music video director. Quotes I don't really even go out that much now, except to walk my dogs, because I don't want to be recognised. I used to be a really friendly person, and now I just want to be invisible. I liked myself much more before I got famous. I was much friendlier and had more energy. https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/sia-furler-fame-does-not-become-her-20100617-yjdr.html The Sydney Morning Herald (18 June 2010) If anyone besides famous people knew what it was like to be a famous person, they would never want to be famous. https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/my-anti-fame-manifesto-by-sia-furler-5770456/ Billboard (25 October 2013) People say, “Enough of this shit where she doesn’t show her face,” and “It’s a gimmick.” For sure. I’m trying to do this differently, for serenity. And it’s a fun game for me as well. I have nothing to lose. But of course I want to be loved. So when people say, “Show your face, you’re not ugly.” I want to say, “I know. I’m not doing it because I think I’m ugly; I’m trying to have some control over my image. And I’m allowed to maintain some modicum of privacy. But also I would like not to be picked apart or for people to observe when I put on ten pounds or take off ten pounds or I have a hair extension out of place or my fake tan is botched.” Most people don’t have to be under that pressure, and I’d like to be one of them. I don’t want to be followed by paparazzi. I don’t go on Twitter. Because when people say things like, I don’t know, “I hope you get cancer and die,” it hurts my feelings. https://www.interviewmagazine.com/music/sia Interview Magazine (24 March 2015) I think I was worried about being ugly... like, I would say to people when they'd say, "You're beautiful, don't wear the mask", I'd say "It's not about that. It's just I don't want to be famous." But I think there was definitely actually a part of me that was just, was like, it's safer. It's safer in here. It's safer if I'm just a mouth... then maybe people won't say "Well, she needs a nose job, or she needs this that or the other or -" You know? And the lengths that we go to in this industry is pretty phenomenal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oYh8b2Qpmw Wisdom of Trauma (13 June 2021) Song lyrics I am afraid of sharks I will not swim out past my head And sometimes I worry my boyfriend will die My first love is already dead Fear, Healing Is Difficult (2001). You're a shooting star I see A vision of ecstasy When you hold me, I'm alive We're like diamonds in the sky At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays I saw the life inside your eyes So shine bright, tonight you and I We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky Eye to eye, so alive We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond Shining bright like a diamond We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky Diamonds, Unapologetic (2012).
