Adele

I'm scared of audiences. One show in Amsterdam I was so nervous, I escaped out the fire exit. I've thrown up a couple of times. Once in Brussels, I projectile vomited on someone. I just gotta bear it. But I don't like touring. I have anxiety attacks a lot. ”

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. ”

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. ”

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. ”

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. ”

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

I love a card. You know, cards? At birthdays? I collect them. ”

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

I love hearing my audience breathe. ”

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. ”
