What people don't understand is that how you are as an artist depends on how you are emotionally.

Men are wary of me because they know, by listening to my music, that a relationship with me will be quite deep.

I've always said that Adele has turned so many people on to British singers - whether female singers or just like music from this country in general.

I'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.

You can be the happiest you can be in a relationship but can have an urge to be with someone else. I know a lot of people that it has happened to.

I wish I could have hung out with Patti Smith in the seventies, and also have some crazy times.

I 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.
