Even when Im in quite a happy state of mind, I like writing really sad songs. I think a lot of people do. – Ellie Goulding
You pick up loads of baggage with your first record with reaction to it from fans and critics. So I went to Ireland by myself for a couple of weeks with my guitar. I read lots of poetry, I read Patti Smiths autobiography and started words and phrases and then songs started to take shape. – Ellie Goulding
People always try to find my agenda, but I dont really have one. Its safe to say that I make pop, but I think that Im doing important music, too. Ive just always done what I wanted to do. – Ellie Goulding
Men are wary of me because they know, by listening to my music, that a relationship with me will be quite deep. – Ellie Goulding
Music videos are notoriously long, not fun, grueling.
