I've never seen magazine covers and seen music videos and been like I need to look like that if I want to be a success. Never. I don't want to be some skinny mini with my tits out. I really don't want to do it. And I don't want people confusing what it is that I'm about.
AdeleSometimes 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.
AdeleThe way I write my songs is that I have to believe what Iโm writing about, and thatโs why they always end up being so personal - because the kind of artists I like, they convince me, they totally win me over straight away in that thing. Like, โOh my God, this song is totally about me.โ
