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. – Ellie Goulding
Im quite private. And I never wanted to be the biggest star in the world, really. So in that sense Ive got a good balance of doing great shows, of making an appearance every now and then and writing music, and I dont really have to do much else. – Ellie Goulding
Its usually a big kind of vent of frustration or anger or sadness that puts me in the right frame of mind to write. Its such a cliche to say that artists write when theyre down, but its true for me. Its a relief to get out whats eating away at my heart or my soul or my head. – Ellie Goulding
I dont really have a style icon but I really admire the way people dress like Gaga, Rihanna and Gwen Stefani. Its good to be inspired by singers who write music and dress incredibly – rather than models and people in the fashion industry who dress immaculately anyway because its their style. – Ellie Goulding
There is nothing like the way people feel after theyve seen The Intouchables. They feel amazing. The word of mouth on this film is incredible. Its intelligent-feeling good. Youre not insulted by the low-browness or stupidity of some of the humor. Its so smart and terrific. – Harvey Weinstein
