Adele quotes - page 2

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. (Adele)

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.

Adele

I am never writing a breakup record again, by the way. I'm done with being a bitter witch.

Adele

I'm very confident. Even when I read people saying horrible stuff about my weight.

Adele

Sometimes my songs wander off a bit and are not always coherent.

Adele

I love love songs. But I love pop music as well: Girls Aloud, Kylie, the Spice Girls, East 17, Mika.

Adele

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

Adele

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.

Adele

I will not do festivals. The thought of an audience that big frightens the life out of me.

Adele

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.

Adele

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. (Adele)

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.

Adele

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.

Adele

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.

Adele

I can't write another breakup record. That would be a real cliche.

Adele

I'm nervous whenever I perform.

Adele

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.

Adele

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.

Adele

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

Adele

Even if I did have, you know, a 'Sports Illustrated' body, I'd still wear elegant clothes.

Adele

I'm scared of audiences. (Adele)

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.

Adele

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.

Adele

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.

Adele

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.
