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

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

— Adele

I get so nervous on stage I can't help but talk. I try. Furthermore, 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

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

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

I like looking nice, but I always put comfort over fashion. I don't find thin girls attractive; be happy and healthy. Furthermore, I've never had a problem with the way I loo. Furthermore, I'd rather have lunch with my friends than go to the gym.

I love a card. You know, cards? At birthdays? I collect them.

I make music for ears, not eyes

— Adele

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. Furthermore, I'd like a sound that sticks around that other people are inspired by and that people know is me.

— Adele

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.
