It breaks my heart that some of my fans think that because they love me and they idolize me, they have to be just like me and dress like me and act like me.
— Madison Beer
Something that I've learned to love about myself is my freckles. I used to absolutely hate them; I even looked into ways I could get them removed.
I hate nothing more than feeling rushed to write a song or feeling like I have to write a song.
I wanted to convey the message of how I do what I want and how I run my own business, and I'm a woman in charge. I want all of my fans to know that that's possible and feel empowered when they listen to my music.
I honestly believe going independent is the future. Social is changing, Spotify is changing, everything is changing.
When I was 13, I posted a video of myself singing a Bruno Mars song on YouTube.
I want to get a master's degree in... psychology.
I'm very much focused on my career.
I'm not perfect. I'm not polished.
My everyday scent is a unisex perfume by Le Labo.
I'm never on my phone, really.
I always make sure my lashes look cute.
I like a lot of weird songs.
Im not big on make up. I only have a make up artist for events.
I would definitely say I'm predominantly a pop artist, obviously, but my music is different. It's not just top-40-radio-type music.
With everything I do, I'm 100 percent involved. I don't really let anyone just take over and hear what's going to go on. I like to have full creative control, pretty much, and really be involved with everything.
I was 13 years old. I feel like I didn't have a sense of artistry, and I didn't have a sense of the music that I wanted to make, and every time I'd go into the studio, and I'd make my EP, a month later I'd scrap it and be like, 'I hate every song. I don't wanna do it.' Because that's how 13-year-olds are.
To my younger self, I would say not to be so hard on yourself. I think that you are your biggest critic.
People think Selena and The Weeknd are dating for publicity, and that's not how things works. These are real human beings. They don't just date to get more famous. They're already the most famous artists!
The song 'Tyler Durden' is about the movie 'Fight Club,' so obviously, it's not a personal experience, but I love that song. It's my favorite song.
In Long Island, people care about how much money you have. Even I did when I was growing up. I never wanted kids to see my mom's house because I was embarrassed that they'd tell everyone, 'Oh, Madison's mom is poor!' And she was definitely far from poor.
People would expect me to be this ditzy, bubblegum-pop girl. I was selling myself short.
It's important to drive your own ship, and it's your career, so you might as well take it by the reins.
A lot of people are really focused on me. I always say, 'Why focus on someone more than yourself?'
One thing I love about Lady Gaga is I feel like her sound is always evolving and changing with her and her phases of life.
I like when my freckles show or when I do shoots and they accentuate them. It's such a compliment.
When I do sultry, bronzey eyeshadow, my eyes look greener, and when I wear dark or black colors, my eyes get a lot browner.
I want to do things that are true to me and give people a sense of who I am.
I feel like, with makeup, I really picked it up on my own. There's no one really in my family - my grandma is probably the closest - who loves makeup like I do.
I stopped using make up wipes, and it made my skin so much better. They messed up my skin big time.
90% of my clothes are from vintage stores. It's not about where you buy but how you look.
I feel like the word 'influencer' is something that I've - I don't want to say struggled with, but I've kind of, like, expanded on that because I started as a musician. And my following came because of that, so it's always been, like, musician first and, I guess, social-media influencer second.
I've really taken time to dive into my heart and my emotions a little more. I think, before, I was a little nervous to open up that box and go, 'What's in there,' you know? Now, that's what's made the best music, and that's what I've been able to pull out of parts of myself that I never knew existed.
Basically, little Madison Beer in sixth grade was major, major Belieber status. I literally was obsessed with Justin. I wasn't crazy-crazy, but I was a big fan of his.
Something most people don't know about me is that I'm quite the loner, I would say. I don't really ever leave my house.
Do what you want to do, and don't feel pressure to do what other people want.
Of course I write from experience, but I also do write from things that have happened in the world.
I just love music. I think it's art.
'Melodies' is just about having fun! The song's message is about being who you are and having a blast. I had such a great time recording it - I'm glad it's my first single.
I want to be role model for people to be like, 'I don't need a major label to be a successful artist and to have a successful song.'
I would like to perform at the Nassau Coliseum; that's the goal.
I used to just let people tell me what to do. I didn't really have a mind of my own, and I couldn't really say yes or no to things because I didn't really know what I wanted, but now I feel really confident in the fact that I can really be distinctive on what I want and how I want to do things.
I love unisex perfumes because men don't realize they're attracted to the way that other men smell. I'm like, 'I smell like a dude right now, and you don't even know!'
I'm from Long Island, which is a very cookie-cutter place.
I always said that I want to sell out Madison Square Garden before I turn 21.
Not every girl who wears makeup feels like, 'Oh, I'm so ugly without it.' I wear makeup because it's fun to put on, and I feel pretty with it on.
I only have a stylist when I go to big events, but even then, I give them moodboards to show exactly how I want to look, so I'm mostly in control. I dress myself on a daily basis, though.
There was a time in my career when I felt like I wasn't being true to myself. I was being moulded into an artist I wasn't, and I knew I had to do everything I wanted to do. I think that's an issue a lot of women face, and men do have it easier in a lot of ways.
I was home-schooled my whole life, pretty much.
I have a very intrusive life, I guess you could say. I think that a lot of people know too much about me, truthfully.
