I know that I received so much help from God to become that kind of person that I wanted to be. That's honestly the message that I think is in a lot of my songs.

Lindsey Stirling

I feel like my art is very eclectic. I have taken my favorite things - be that costume designing, fashion sense, music and video editing - and I threw them all into one big clump. And that's what I do.

Lindsey Stirling

I love going into the studio with just an idea of the direction. Like, I want this tempo... I love to start from scratch, and the tracks sort of take on a life of their own.

Lindsey Stirling

Coming from a YouTube perspective, a lot of times you kind of limit yourself and think, 'Oh, artists from the real world wouldn't want to work with someone who's made their career on YouTube.' But more and more, I'm realizing that artists from both sides are learning that we can benefit from each other.

Lindsey Stirling

YouTube did more for me than 'America's Got Talent.'

Lindsey Stirling

A lot of people have told me along the way that my style and the music I do... is unmarketable. But the only reason I'm successful is because I have stayed true to myself.

Lindsey Stirling

I got all these books about, like, what you need to know to enter the entertainment industry. And I remember I sent my music to record labels, and I took these little DVDs and sent them all over the place. And either no one got back to me or they just kept saying, 'You're too different.'

Lindsey Stirling

I just realized one day that I was so unhappy. And not only that, but I didn't even like the person that I was. I didn't even know who I was. And so 'Shatter Me' is about first discovering what was under the shell and then learning to love that person that was under it. And then not being afraid to break free.

Lindsey Stirling

There is one person that I have learned always sees the beauty in us, and that's our Savior Jesus Christ.

Lindsey Stirling

I have been so incredibly blessed, and I just feel like my calling is to be a missionary and share the gospel... The Lord's given me a platform to stand on and an audience that is listening. I feel like it's so important to share what makes me happy.

Lindsey Stirling

I draw inspiration from my life, and, honestly, a lot of my religious beliefs have stemmed into my music.

Lindsey Stirling

It really is ironic that the saddest I'd ever been was when I had 'achieved' all the things I had wanted. I was so disgustingly thin, but I was so unhappy.

Lindsey Stirling

It is so cool to be able to stand as a witness of Christ and to be able to be proud of it and be part of His army.

Lindsey Stirling

It is very unnatural to dance while playing the violin. I had to practice so hard to learn how to do it, but now it is part of my expression, and it comes naturally. I have to know a song perfectly before I can even begin to move.

Lindsey Stirling

Once I know a song really well, I can then have fun dancing.

Lindsey Stirling

If I like dubstep and electronic, why don't I make the violin fit me rather than making myself fit the violin?

Lindsey Stirling

It was Skrillex who got me into dubstep. He made it melodic - not just a bunch of crazy sounds.

Lindsey Stirling

I want to make dubstep something beautiful.

Lindsey Stirling

Going to college is an amazing opportunity to not only learn and be book-smart but also to kind of stretch your wings and expand yourself as a human and as an artist, whatever it is you're going for.

Lindsey Stirling

Violinists' hands aren't the prettiest because of our nails and what our hands have to go through.
