I've been living a healthier life and, therefore, writing healthier music.

— Tash Sultana

I've got an awesome career happening, and I absolutely am so stoked with how it's all worked out.

— Tash Sultana

It would be arrogant to come to music only thinking about success.

— Tash Sultana

You can impact on people with music, and I love that because music impacts on me.

— Tash Sultana

I've got to deal with some stuff in my mind that's pretty scary.

— Tash Sultana

My goal is to just be able to play as many instruments as I possibly can.

— Tash Sultana

You only have one thing in your mind, and that is your mind; once that's gone, your whole reality is distorted.

I'm not a really super-political type of person, and that might change as I get older.

I'm not that cool or anything.

— Tash Sultana

If I'm in a good headspace, then it doesn't matter which direction things go.

— Tash Sultana

I'm just all for equal rights and stuff like that, but I'm not like one of those 'Yay empowerment' type of people.

I have a little pocket journal. I just put the pen on the paper and just go.

Music is the embodiment of my soul. When I play, I'm not performing a song: I'm becoming it.

— Tash Sultana

I reckon I'd be probably, like, in the gutter somewhere if I didn't have music.

— Tash Sultana

I don't really have music goals. It's just a huge field I want to dedicate my life to.

Music draws me in. As soon as I hear it, I'm there. I'm stuck in it.

I just have this real love and connection with what I'm doing when I play music.

I've played music that's terrible in the past, and not everyone likes you, which is fine.
