More From Adele

Next Time I'll Be Braver, I'll Be My Own Savior, Standing On My Own Two Feet.

I Get So Nervous On Stage I Can't Help But Talk. I Try. I Try Telling My Brain: Stop Sending Words To The Mouth. But I Get Nervous And Turn Into My Grandma. Behind The Eyes It's Pure Fear. I Find It Difficult To Believe I'm Going To Be Able To Deliver.

I Don’t Have Time To Worry About Something As Petty As What I Look Like.

Sometimes My Songs Wander Off A Bit And Are Not Always Coherent.

Don't Underestimate The Things That I Will Do.

Nothing That I Wouldn't Do, To Make You Feel My Love

I've Never Been More Normal Than I Am Now.

In My Hometown Memories Are Fresh.

The Scars Of Your Love Remind Me Of Us They Keep Me Thinking That We Almost Had It All The Scars Of Your Love They Leave Me Breathless I Can't Help Feeling We Could Have Had It All

Beauty Comes From Within, Not From What You Wear.

Beauty Comes From Within

I'm Not On Good Terms With Any Of My Exes. That's Why We're Not Together Anymore. We're Not Friends.

My Body Doesn't Have Any Rhythm, You Know. I've Got Quite Good Rhythm When I'm Singing But My Feet Are Very Much Two Left Feet.

People Are Starting To Go On About My Weight But I'm Not Going To Change My Size Because They Don't Like The Way I Look.

Exploiting Yourself Sexually Is Not A Good Look. I Don't Find It Encouraging...i Just Stand There And Sing. I'm Not Worried That I'm A 'plus Size' And So Much Bigger Than Other Artists. No Matter What You Look Like The Key Is To Be Happy With Yourself.

You Can't Complain About Your Dressing Room Or You'll Look Like Celine Dion.

I Think No Matter What You Look Like, The Key Is To First Of All Be Happy With Yourself. And Then You Know If You Want To Try To Improve Things That You Don't Like About Yourself, Then Do It After Your Appreciate Yourself.

Let The Sky Fall, When It Crumbles - We Will Stand Tall - Face It All Together

In Five Years' Time I'd Like To Be A Mum. I Want To Settle Down And Have A Family, Definitely Sooner Rather Than Later. I'd Like To Have Finished My Second Album Too, Maybe Even My Third. I'd Like A Sound That Sticks Around That Other People Are Inspired By And That People Know Is Me.

If I Am Constantly Working, My Relationships Fail. So At Least Now I Can Have Enough Time To Write A Happy Record. And Be In Love And Be Happy.

I Don't Care If You're Black, White, Short, Tall, Skinny, Rich Or Poor. If You Respect Me I'll Respect You

I Can't Write Another Breakup Record. That Would Be A Real Cliche.

We Could Have Had It All...

Whenever I'm About To Eat Meat I Always See My Little Dog's Eyes.

I Don't Want To Be On The Cover Of Playboy Or Vogue.

I Have Never Been Insecure, Ever, About How I Look, About What I Want To Do With Myself. My Mum Told Me To Only Ever Do Things For Myself, Not For Others.

Music Isn`t For The Eyes, It`s For The Ears

I'm Very Confident. Even When I Read People Saying Horrible Stuff About My Weight.

I'm Just Writing Love Songs. I'm Not Trying To Be Pop. I'm Not Trying To Be Jazz. I'm Not Trying To Be Anything. I'm Just Writing Love Songs. And Everyone Loves A Love Song.

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'm Really Happy To Be Me, And I'd Like To Think People Like Me More Because I'm Happy With Myself And Not Because I Refuse To Conform To Anything.

I've Never Had A Problem With The Way I Look. I'd Rather Go For Lunch With My Friends Than Go To A Gym.

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.

I Doubt I'll Be Singing Forever, Because At Some Point People Aren't Going To Want To Hear My Music, And I Hope That I'll Still Get The Opportunity To Write Songs.

I Don't Really Need To Stand Out, There's Room For Everyone. Although I Haven't Built A Niche Yet, I'm Just Writing Love Songs.

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.

I’ve Seen People Where It Rules Their Lives, You Know, Who Want To Be Thinner Or Have Bigger Boobs, And How It Wears Them Down. And I Just Don’t Want That In My Life.

When It Comes To Staying Myself - My Career Isn't My Life, It Doesn't Come Home With Me. So It's A Piece Of Piss Staying Grounded And Not Being Changed By It. The Same Things I've Always Liked Still Satisfy Me. My Team's The Same And My Group Of Friends Are The Same. Of Course I'm Bowled Over By People's Response To 21, And When I Meet Artists I Love, It Blows My Mind. But It Baffles Me As Well. I Go Home And My Best Friend Laughs At Me, Rather Than Going To A Celebrity-studded Party To Rub Shoulders With People Who Know Me But Who I Don't Know. I'm Z-list When It Comes To That Sh**.

I'd Lose Weight If I Was An Actress And Had To Play A Role Where You're Supposed To Be 40 Lbs Lighter, But Weight Has Nothing To Do With My Career. Even When I Was Signing A Contract, Most Of The Industry Knew If Anyone Ever Dared Say Lose Weight To Me, They Wouldn't Be Working With Me.

Regrets And Mistakes, They're Memories Made

I Don't Like Going To The Gym.

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.

There Is Nothing That Would Upset Me More Than My Dad Being Bribed By The Press. It's Like, 'just Let Them Run It, Then. Don't You Give Them Ammunition.'

I Am Quite Loud And Bolshie. I'm A Big Personality. I Walk Into A Room, Big And Tall And Loud.

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.

I Can't Dance To Save My Life.

I Wanted To Be A Singer Forever. But It's Not Really My Cup Of Tea. Having The Whole World Know Who You Are.

There's A Fire Starting In My Heart

Where You Go, I Go, What You See, I See, I Know I'd Never Be Me Without The Security, Are Your Loving Arms Keeping Me From Harm Put Your Hands In My Hand & We'll Stand.

I Have Insecurities Of Course, But I Don't Hang Out With Anyone Who Points Them Out To Me.

I've Never Seen Magazine Covers And Seen Music Videos And Been Like I Need To Look Like That If I Want To Be A Success. Never. I Don't Want To Be Some Skinny Mini With My Tits Out. I Really Don't Want To Do It. And I Don't Want People Confusing What It Is That I'm About.

If I Were A Writer And Not A Singer In 10 Years, I Don't Know How I'd Feel About Writing Really Personal Songs And Getting Someone Else To Sing Them.

I Would Only Lose Weight If It Affected My Health Or Sex Life, Which It Doesn't.

I Think It's Shameful When You Sell Out. It Depends What Kind Of Artist You Wanna Be, But I Don't Want My Name Anywhere Near Another Brand.

Even If I Did Have, You Know, A 'sports Illustrated' Body, I'd Still Wear Elegant Clothes.

A Drunk Tongue Is An Honest One In My Opinion.

People Think That I Popped Out Of My Mother's Womb Singing 'chasing Pavements'.

I Want To Leave An Album Behind That Is Classic, That People In 50 Years Will Refer To And Pass On To Their Children. An Album That You Never Bored Of.

I Love A Bit Of Drama. That's A Bad Thing. I Can Flip Really Quickly.

Should I Give Up Or Should I Just Keep Chasing Pavement, Even If It Leads Nowhere?

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 Like Eating Fine Foods And Drinking Nice Wine. Even If I Had A Really Good Figure, I Don't Think I'd Get My T**s And A** Out For No One.

I Love Hearing My Audience Breathe.

I Can't Believe I Did A Peace Sign On Tv - Like Ringo Starr!

I Know You Haven't Made Your Mind Up Yet But I Would Never Do You Wrong I've Known It From The Moment That We Met No Doubt In My Mind Where You Belong

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.

Sometimes It Lasts In Love, But Sometimes It Hurts Instead.

I Was About To Meet Beyonce, And I Had A Full-blown Anxiety Attack. Then She Popped In Looking Gorgeous, And Said, "you're Amazing! When I Listen To You I Feel Like I'm Listening To God."

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.

You Had My Heart Inside Of Your Hand But You Played It To The Beat

I Mean, 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'm Nervous Whenever I Perform.

You Have To Prioritize What You Stress About When You Have A Child.

I Wouldn’t Be Able To Write A Song Like “someone Like You” And Get Someone Else To Sing It Because It’s So Personal. It’s Like Giving Away Your Heart.

I Get Shitty Scared. One Show In Amsterdam, I Was So Nervous I Escaped Out The Fire Exit. I've Thrown Up A Couple Of Times. Once In Brussels, I Projectile-vomited On Someone. I Just Gotta Bear It. But I Don't Like Touring. I Have Anxiety Attacks A Lot.

I Won't Let You Close Enough To Hurt Me.

I Don't Want People Confusing What It Is That I'm About. I Just Stand There And Sing. And I Don't Do Stunts Or Anything. If I Wanted To Do All That, I Don't Think I'd Get Away With It.

My Aim In Life Is Never To Be Skinny.

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 Do Get Massively Distracted When I've Got Someone In My Life, Which I Can't Afford To Do Right Now...besides, No One Treats Me As Well As I Do.

I Was Adopting An Ethiopian Child, That's Not True. My House Was Haunted, That Wasn't True. God, There's Been So Many Rumours.

It's Never Been An Issue For Me - I Don't Want To Go On A Diet, I Don't Want To Eat A Caesar Salad With No Dressing, Why Would I Do That? I Ain't Got Time For This, Just Be Happy And Don't Be Stupid. If I've Got A Boyfriend And He Loves My Body Then I'm Not Worried.

I Enjoy Being Me; I Always Have Done. I've Seen People Where It Rules Their Lives, You Know, Who Want To Be Thinner Or Have Bigger Boobs, And It Wears Them Down. And I Don't Want That In My Life. It's Never Been An Issue - At Least, I've Never Hung Out With The Sort Of Horrible People Who Would Make It An Issue. I Have Insecurities, Of Course, But I Don't Hang Out With Anyone Who Points Them Out To Me.

There Will Be No New Music Until It's Good Enough And Until I'm Ready.

Crying Is Really Bad For Your Vocal Cords.

I Like Having My Hair And Face Done, But I'm Not Going To Lose Weight Because Someone Tells Me To. I Make Music To Be A Musician Not To Be On The Cover Of Playboy.

The Focus On My Appearance Has Really Surprised Me. I've Always Been A Size 14 To 16, I Don't Care About Clothes, I'd Rather Spend My Money On Cigarettes And Booze.

I Read A Comment [about Me] On Youtube That I Thought Would Upset Me — ‘test Pilot For Pies’ — But I’ve Always Been A Size 14-16 And Been Fine With It. I Would Only Lose Weight If It Affected My Health Or Sex Life, Which It Doesn’t.

I've Always Written Down How I Feel.

I'm Like The Opposite Of One Of Those Comedians Who's Funny On Stage And Depressed Behind Closed Doors . On Record, I Can Get Pretty Dark, But In Real Life I'm Very Carefree. But When I'm Happy, I Ain't Writing Songs, I'm Out Having A Laugh, Being In Love. I Wouldn't Have The Time. If I Ever Get Married, It'll Be 'darling, I Need A Divorce, It's Been Three Years, I've Got A Record To Write!'

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.

So Is It Over Is This Really It You've Given Up So Easily I Thought You Loved Me More Than This

My Voice Went Recently, Never Happened Before, Off Like A Tap. I Had To Sit In Silence For Nine Days, Chalkboard Around My Neck. Like An Old-school Mime. Like A Kid In The Naughty Corner. Like A Victorian Mute.

I Let It Fall, My Heart And As It Fell, You Rose To Claim It, It Was Dark, And I Was Sober, Until You Kissed My Lips And You Saved Me.

I'm Like Johnny Cash. I Only Wear Black.

My Worst Fear Is My Music Won't Connect With The Public.

I Want To Go And See Things As A Fan Again. I Am A Fan, But I Can't Remember What It Feels Like To Be A Fan Anymore. Because I've Become An Artist. I've Become The Artist.

When I Want To Party, I Play Beyoncé's "crazy In Love." That's Always Been The Song That My Friends And I Get Ready To; Or Before I Go On A First Date, I Play It To Feel Sexy.

Mum Loves Me Being Famous! She Is So Excited And Proud, As She Had Me So Young And Couldn't Support Me, So I Am Living Her Dream, It's Sweeter For Both Of Us. It's Her 40th Birthday Soon And I'm Going To Buy Her 40 Presents.

I Love Love Songs. But I Love Pop Music As Well: Girls Aloud, Kylie, The Spice Girls, East 17, Mika.

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 Don't Make Music For Eyes. I Make Music For Ears.

I've Never Wanted To Look Like Models On The Cover Of Magazines. I Represent The Majority Of Women And I'm Very Proud Of That.

Independent Women

I Don't Want To Be Some Skinny Mini With My Tits Out. I Really Don't Want To Do It And I Don't Want People Confusing What It Is That I'm About.

Would I Show My Body Off If I Was Thinner? Probably Not, Because My Body Is Mine. I Think I Remind Everyone Of Themselves. I'm Not Saying Everyone Is My Size, But It's Relatable Because I'm Not Perfect, And I Think A Lot Of People Are Portrayed As Perfect, Unreachable And Untouchable.

It's Warts And All In My Songs, And I Think That's Why People Can Relate To Them.

I Don't Rely On My Figure To Sell Records.

Be Brave And Fearless To Know That Even If You Do Make A Wrong Decision, You're Making It For A Good Reason.

I Love A Card. You Know, Cards? At Birthdays? I Collect Them.

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 Will Not Do Festivals. The Thought Of An Audience That Big Frightens The Life Out Of Me.

I Am Never Writing A Breakup Record Again, By The Way. I'm Done With Being A Bitter Witch.

The Way I Write My Songs Is That I Have To Believe What I’m Writing About, And That’s Why They Always End Up Being So Personal - Because The Kind Of Artists I Like, They Convince Me, They Totally Win Me Over Straight Away In That Thing. Like, “oh My God, This Song Is Totally About Me.”

For People To Link My Music To Their Lives, It's Incredible, There's No Other Feeling Like It.

I've Always Got On Better With Boys. Most Of My Friends Are Boys. Like, If I Have Children, I Want Five Boys. Boys Love Their Mothers Whereas Girls Can Be So Mean To Each Other.
