Adele

“I don't want to be a celebrity. I don't want to be in people's faces, you know, constantly on covers of magazine that I haven't even known I'm on.”

“I like looking nice, but I always put comfort over fashion. I don't find thin girls attractive; be happy and healthy. I've never had a problem with the way I look. I'd rather have lunch with my friends than go to a gym.”

“I've been singing properly every day since I was about fifteen or sixteen, and I have never had any problems with my voice, ever. I've had a sore throat here and there, had a cold and sung through it, but that day it just went while I was onstage in Paris during a radio show. It was literally like someone had pulled a curtain over it.”

“Heartbreak can definitely give you a deeper sensibility for writing songs. I drew on a lot of heartbreak when I was writing my first album, I didn't mean to but I just did.”

“In the songs I can still be really really direct but in interviews when I'm explaining my songs I shouldn't be so direct about who they're about.”

“I don't want to be in everyone's face. I'm a big music fan, and I get really pissed off when it gets like that... and I don't want people to get like that with me.”

“I no longer buy papers or tabloids or magazines or read blogs. I used to. But it was just filling up my day with hatred.”

“Sometimes with pop music, you have to see it to love it. With soul music, it's sparse. There's nothing that's pretentious or planned. It's just so gutsy.”

“I find it quite difficult to think that there's, you know, about 20 million people listening to my album that I wrote very selfishly to get over a breakup. I didn't write it being that it's going to be a hit.”

“I'd love to be an artist always, but if no one wants me, I'd love to write songs for other people, be a manager, nurture new talent.”

“I don't write songs about a specific, elusive thing. I write about love, and everyone knows what it is like to have your heart broken.”

“I've got some news... I'm delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together. I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we're over the moon.”

“Americans are always mortified when I tell them this, but in England, it's a tradition to put your plaques and photographs and awards and gold records and stuff in your bathroom. I don't know why.”

“I love a card. You know, cards? At birthdays? I collect them.”

“It's warts and all in my songs, and I think that's why people can relate to them.”

“The thought of someone spending $20 to come and see me and saying, 'Oh, I prefer the record and she's completely shattered the illusion' really upsets me. It's such a big deal that people come give me their time.”

“I just want to make music, I don't want people to talk about me. All I've ever wanted to do was sing. I don't want to be a celebrity. I don't want to be in people's faces, you know, constantly on covers of magazine that I haven't even known I'm on.”

“I don't rely on my figure to sell records.”

“יש בה אנושיות בסיסית שהמון אנשים אוהבים.”

“אני אוהבת לראות את השדיים והאחוריים של קייטי פרי. ממש אוהבת. אבל זאת לא מוזיקה. אני לא יוצרת מוזיקה לעיניים אלא לאוזניים.”
