Quotes by Adele

I make music for ears, not eyes

I like looking nice, but I always put comfort over fashion. I dont find thin girls attractive; be happy and healthy. Ive never had a problem with the way I loo. Id rather have lunch with my friends than go to the gym.

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

Mum loves me being famous! She is so excited and proud, as she had me so young and couldnt support me, so I am living her dream, its sweeter for both of us. Its her 40th birthday soon and Im going to buy her 40 presents.

I just want to make music, I dont want people to talk about me. All Ive ever wanted to do was sing. I dont want to be a celebrity. I dont want to be in peoples faces, you know, constantly on covers of magazine that I havent even known Im on.

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

I like having my hair and face done, but Im 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.

In five years time Id like to be a mum. I want to settle down and have a family, definitely sooner rather than later. Id like to have finished my second album too, maybe even my third. Id like a sound that sticks around that other people are inspired by and that people know is me.

My life is full of drama, and I dont have time to worry about something as petty as what I look like.

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

I get so nervous on stage I cant help but talk. I try. I try telling my brain: stop sending words to the mouth. But I get nervous and turn into my grandma. Behind the eyes its pure fear. I find it difficult to believe Im going to be able to deliver.

Its never been an issue for me - I dont want to go on a diet, I dont want to eat a Caesar salad with no dressing, why would I do that? I aint got time for this, just be happy and dont be stupid. If Ive got a boyfriend and he loves my body then Im not worried.

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