I've never wanted to look like...

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 20 quotes

Even if I did have, you know, ...

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

Adele 20 quotes

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

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

Adele 20 quotes

I doubt I'll be singing foreve...

I doubt I'll be singing forever, because at some point people aren't going to want to hear my music, and I hope that I'll still get the opportunity to write songs.

Adele 20 quotes

I just want to make music, I d...

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 20 quotes

There is nothing that would up...

There is nothing that would upset me more than my dad being bribed by the press. It's like, 'Just let them run it, then. Don't you give them ammunition.'

Adele 20 quotes

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.

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.

Adele 20 quotes

My voice went recently, never ...

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.

Mum loves me being famous! She...

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.

Adele 20 quotes

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.

Adele 20 quotes

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

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

I'm like Johnny Cash. I only wear black.

I love hearing my audience breathe.

Adele 20 quotes

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 20 quotes

I like having my hair and face...

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 20 quotes

I get so nervous on stage I can't 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 it's pure fear. I find it difficult to believe I'm going to be able to deliver.

Adele 20 quotes

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 20 quotes

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.
