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.

Be brave and fearless to know that even if you do make a wrong decision, you're making it for a good reason.

Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavement, even if it leads nowhere?

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.

People think that I popped out of my mother's womb singing 'Chasing Pavements'.

Regrets and Mistakes, they're Memories made

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

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.”

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.

There will be no new music until it's good enough and until I'm ready.

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. And then I don't know what I'll do. Get married. Have some kids. Plant a nice vegetable patch.

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.

Let the sky fall, when it crumbles - We will stand tall - Face it all together

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.

So is it over is this really it You've given up so easily I thought you loved me more than this
