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.

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.

Adele expresses a carefree attitude towards body image and dieting, emphasizing that personal happiness and self-acceptance are more important than conforming to societal expectations about how one should look or eat. She highlights the value of being loved for who you are, rather than how you fit into a particular mold of beauty.

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 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.
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.
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.
You had my heart inside of your hand but you played it to the beat
Happiness does not come from without, it comes from within
Happiness lies in making others happy, in forsaking self-interest to bring joy to others.
Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy and serenity.
To live long and achieve happiness, cultivate the art of radiating happiness.
Happiness lies in the consciousness we have of it.
Be happy, noble heart, be blessed for all the good thou hast done and wilt do hereafter, and let my gratitude remain in obscurity like your good deeds.
