Melora Hardin

“I would say I grew up listening a lot to Barbra Streisand and Judy Garland and Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell. I grew up listening to those because my parents were kind of into folk music.”

“כשמשחקים תן קו ומישהו מצייר מדינה, הפחד הכי גדול שלי הוא שאני לא אדע איזו מדינה זו. אני כל כך גרועה בגאוגרפיה.”

“יש לי רשמקול, ואני פשוט שרה לתוכו. אני אוהבת לכתוב בצורה כזו. לפעמים אני רק אקבל רעיונות מלודיים, ואז אני אלך הביתה ואשב ואוסיף את המילים. או לפעמים אקבל רעיון לירי שאני אוהבת. בדרך כלל זה די משולב.”

“כל חיי כתבתי שירים. אמא שלי אמרה שכתבתי את השיר הראשון שלי כשהייתי בת שנתיים.”

“אני מאמינה שכולנו אמנים בצורה מסוימת. לכולנו יש יכולות ייחודיות. יש אנשים שנועדו להפוך את זה לחיים שלהם.”

“I really believe that every character comes from the well of the artist.”

“I feel like I have an amazing support team, between my husband and my nanny and my parents, who are very involved with my kids. I also have an incredible creative team with my manager, agent and publicist.”

“You know when you play Pictionary and someone draws a state? My biggest fear is that I'm not gonna know what state it is. I'm so bad at geography.”

“I love being a mommy, and I love being an artist, and I love being a singer and an actress and making a movie - all that stuff I feel very passionate about, so I have a lot of energy for it.”

“I have a tape recorder, and I just sing into it. I like to write that way. Sometimes I'll just get melodic ideas, and then I'll go home and sit down and add the lyrics. Or sometimes I'll get a lyric idea that I love. Usually it's pretty combined. Usually I get some kind of a lyrical concept and a melody and work with that.”

“I've been writing songs all my life. My mom said I wrote my first song when I was two.”

“I've been dancing all my life and studied at Joffrey Ballet when I was 13 and singing all my life.”

“I do believe everyone on this earth is an artist - some people more than others. But I do believe we are all artists in a certain way. We all have unique abilities. There are people who are meant to make it their life, and that is a different kind of person who would choose to be on that path.”
