Men are wary of me because they know, by listening to my music, that a relationship with me will be quite deep. – Ellie Goulding
I instinctively dress a bit tougher because Ive spent a lot of time in the U.S. and I realised there was a certain image projected of me here. Ive always been an absolute rebel. When I was in my teen years I had piercings and wore all black. – 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
