"People think that I popped out of my mother's womb singing 'Chasing Pavements'." — Adele

Heartbreak can definitely give you a deeper sensibility for writing songs. I drew on a lot of heartbreak when I was writing my first album, I didn't mean to but I just did.

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

I want to go and see things as a fan again. I am a fan, but I can't remember what it feels like to be a fan anymore. Because I've become an artist. I've become the artist.

I love hearing my audience breathe.
