Quote by Ellie Goulding
You pick up loads of baggage with your first record with reaction

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

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
