Ellie Goulding

I love prints of skulls and bones and have some taxidermy - a crow and a rabbit - to remind me of home. I like art and have a big portrait of Bjork. ”

The only day I remember of my parents' marriage was the day my dad walked out. As I stood there at five years old, with my older sister and younger brother, I knew that he was gone. ”

I can fall in love in a simple way, but I can dissect it in such an intense fashion when it ends. ”

I've got a song called 'Salt Skin' because when you run in the heat it evaporates and you've got salt crystals on your face. I love that, because it means you've worked really hard. ”

Bjork, I'd love to do something with her. I'd love to do some sort of crazy orchestral choir thing with her. ”

I love designer stuff but like it will only be like, on a whim. I love Alexander Wang so much, but it's expensive. ”

I used to be obsessed with Pearl Jam, but I love having pink hair and kind of looking like a Barbie. ”

I love pink - pink's my favourite. I hardly ever - weirdly - wear it, but I love the colour pink. ”

I've learned not to let it be the end of the world if a boy doesn't like you. I used to put so much effort into boys. I started playing guitar because I wanted to impress this boy. Then, I ended up in love with guitar and I didn't care about the boy anymore. ”

America saw me as a projection of me that I always wanted. That's why I love going to America so much. I feel like I started off in America exactly how I wanted to start everywhere. ”
