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.

Adele

I love hearing my audience breathe.

Adele

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.

Adele

I love a bit of drama. That's a bad thing. I can flip really quickly.

Adele

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

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

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.

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.

Adele

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.

Adele

I can't believe I did a peace sign on TV - like Ringo Starr!

Adele

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

Adele

I don't make music for eyes. I make music for ears.

Adele

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.

Adele

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.

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

I've never been more normal than I am now.

Adele

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.

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 ...

Adele

I am quite loud and bolshie. I'm a big personality. I walk into a room, big and tall and loud.

Adele

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.

Adele

I have insecurities of course, but I don't hang out with anyone who points them out to me.

Adele
