Adele's quotes

[on singing her songs of heartbreak] Imagine if you weren't in an office job or whatever, and you were performing your feelings as I do. It's kind of like not getting over something isn't it, because every night you have to talk about it.
I've never been more normal than I am now.
I don't make music for eyes. I make music for ears.
Even if I did have, you know, a 'Sports Illustrated' body, I'd still wear elegant clothes.
Crying is really bad for your vocal cords.
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 don't like the word 'brand'. It makes me sound like a fabric softener or a packet of crisps. I'm not that. But there's personality in an artist and if you're expecting people to let you in, you have to be a whole package.
The bigger your career gets, the smaller your life gets.
You're only as good as your next record.
[on David Bowie's greatest producer, Tony Visconti] Some dickhead tried to say that my voice was not me on record. Suck my dick.
[2008; on Estelle's comments that the new female soul singers, and Adele and Duffy in particular, are 'not soul'] I really don't care. If Lauryn Hill had said that about me, I'd be very bovvered.
Etta James is the only artist I've ever properly believed when I listen to her.
[I signed with Jonathan Dickins because he made me laugh] literally stomach cramps the day after.
Who cares [who my songs are about]? Nobody famous, just old boyfriends. I don't date celebrities. I ain't facking Taylor Swift, dyouknowhatImean?
[on her mother, Penny] She fell pregnant with me when she would have been applying for uni, but chose to have me instead. She never, ever reminds me of that. I try to remember it.
When I hear artists say, 'Performing is what I'm meant to do', I think, Whaaaat? This ain't what you're meant to do. It ain't normal.
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 made my guitarist, Ben, come along to my first meeting with XL Recordings. He's puny, Ben, looks like a dwarf, but I'd never heard of XL so I thought I might be on my way to meet an internet perv or summink.
[on meeting celebrities like Natalie Portman] Do you ever get that, the heart flutter? I turn into a wreck. Go all light-headed.
I was so in love with Mike Skinner I wrote him a letter, and when I told my friend about it she cussed me so I went and pretended to do the washing up and cried.
[getting booked to sing live at the 2011 Brit Awards] Shat myself. I was on in between Take That and Rihanna, the biggest productions of the night. All day I was thinking, this is gonna be a disaster.
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.
[citing the Spice Girls as a major influence in regard to her love and passion for music] They made me what I am today.
