Adele (Singer)

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

— Adele music

I just want to make music, I don't want people to talk about me. All I've ever wanted to do was sing. I don't want to be a celebrity. I don't want to be in people's faces, you know, constantly on covers of magazine that I haven't even known I'm on.

— Adele music

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

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

Crying is really bad for your vocal cords.

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 silence

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.

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 Paris during a radio show. It was literally like someone had pulled a curtain over it.

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.

I like having my hair and face done, but I'm not going to lose weight because someone tells me to. I make music to be a musician not to be on the cover of Playboy.

— Adele music

Mum loves me being famous! She is so excited and proud, as she had me so young and couldn't support me, so I am living her dream, it's sweeter for both of us. It's her 40th birthday soon and I'm going to buy her 40 presents.

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 friends

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

— Adele

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.

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 hatred

Sometimes my songs wander off a bit and are not always coherent.

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.

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.

I've never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that.

— Adele women

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.

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 writing

I was about to meet Beyonce, and I had a full-blown anxiety attack. Then she popped in looking gorgeous, and said, 'You're amazing! When I listen to you I feel like I'm listening to God.'

— Adele anxiety

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 money

I am never writing a breakup record again, by the way. I'm done with being a bitter witch.

— Adele writing

You have to prioritize what you stress about when you have a child.

I dont make music for eyes. I make music for ears.

— Adele music

I read a comment [about me] on YouTube that I thought would upset me — ‘Test pilot for pies’ — but I’ve always been a size 14-16 and been fine with it. I would only lose weight if it affected my health or sex life, which it doesn’t.
