I tend to write things and review it afterwards and realise what comes out. I very rarely ever write something and have to take it back.

ELLIE GOULDINGI’m a bit of a like girly-girl, really, I like flowery stuff.
ELLIE GOULDINGI’d call what I do pop music, but it’s folky and electronic and it doesn’t really sound like much else.
ELLIE GOULDINGI believe that when you have fans, they invest in you not just as a singer but as a person as well. It’s not enough to just have good songs and a good voice.
ELLIE GOULDINGI believe in the moment of things and fate and things happening for a reason, so I write things down and I trust it.
ELLIE GOULDINGMy soul is to sell. The dark is too hard to beat ’cause they’re calling me.
ELLIE GOULDINGMy fans are so funny, they make me laugh so much. I’ve got some really, really, funny, clever fans.
ELLIE GOULDINGI want to be safe in the knowledge that I can tour and play festivals for a long time. The main thing is that I want a good reputation as a live performer. If I have that, I’d be so happy.
ELLIE GOULDINGI would never create an image for myself; I’m not that clever.

ELLIE GOULDINGEven if a relationship doesn’t work out, you can always take something positive from something negative. You never know what’s around the corner.
ELLIE GOULDINGI feel like my songs are very relevant and very meaningful, but I literally have to get rid of the nostalgia for shows because I would just be mess on-stage otherwise.
ELLIE GOULDINGI could always sing, from a really young age, but my voice was really weird. I used to make my mum turn up the radio every day in our house. She was well into music so I got that from her.
ELLIE GOULDINGWhen you reach a point of no return with someone and you feel there’s going to be no reconciliation, you have to disconnect. I can’t allow myself to be emotionally connected with people like that again, it’s too damaging.
ELLIE GOULDINGNot much shocked me. You know, I worked in a home for Alzheimer’s patients and my dad used to be really into murders and stuff, so I saw dead bodies. It desensitised me to a lot of things.
ELLIE GOULDINGI guess I’m just quite observant and I pay attention to a lot of things. Human behavior really fascinates me.
