The only really safe thing to do is to write a diary of where you’ve been, what time you went to bed, what you ate. If I wrote honestly about everything I think it’d be a disaster. It would cause a lot of trouble.

ELLIE GOULDINGI take inspiration from everything around me, also relationships and friends. And the inside of my crazy head.
ELLIE GOULDINGI 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.
ELLIE GOULDINGI think I’d like to be best friends with Björk, because I’d like to pick her brain a lot all the time and just have weird times together.
ELLIE GOULDINGI think, it is a challenge to get critics or whoever to see past what you wear and makeup and the way you look and just concentrate on the music.
ELLIE GOULDINGI feel more confident if my makeup looks good.
ELLIE GOULDINGI definitely write about a lot of dreamy, surreal stuff. I do end up going to a surreal world with my music, but I also like the idea of there being really real stuff as well.
ELLIE GOULDINGMy fans are so funny, they make me laugh so much. I’ve got some really, really, funny, clever fans.
ELLIE GOULDINGMy soul is to sell. The dark is too hard to beat ’cause they’re calling me.
ELLIE GOULDINGI still don’t know if I can write songs. I don’t think anyone ever knows if they can write songs.
ELLIE GOULDINGI’d just like to think that there’s some kind of underworld where whoever’s been lost at sea is there… I dunno, there probably isn’t, but I’d like to believe there is.
ELLIE GOULDINGI can fall in love in a simple way, but I can dissect it in such an intense fashion when it ends.
ELLIE GOULDINGApparently I’m introspective, levelheaded, but at the same time, absolutely insane.
ELLIE GOULDINGI’m a bit of a like girly-girl, really, I like flowery stuff.
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 love pink – pink’s my favourite. I hardly ever – weirdly – wear it, but I love the colour pink.
