My voice went recently, never happened before, off like a tap. I had to sit in silence for nine days, chalkboard around my neck. Like an old-school mime. Like a kid in the naughty corner. Like a Victorian mute.
Adele

More quotes by Adele
I've never seen magazine covers and seen music videos and been like I need to look like that if I want to be a success. Never. I don't want to be some skinny mini with my tits out. I really don't want to do it. And I don't want people confusing what it is that I'm about.
Adele
If I am constantly working, my relationships fail. So at least now I can have enough time to write a happy record. And be in love and be happy.
Adele
I'm very confident. Even when I read people saying horrible stuff about my weight.
Adele
I just want to make music, I don't want people to talk about me. All I've ever wanted to do was sing. I don't want to be a celebrity. I don't want to be in people's faces, you know, constantly on covers of magazine that I haven't even known I'm on.
Adele
Whenever I'm about to eat meat I always see my little dog's eyes.
Adele
I’ve seen people where it rules their lives, you know, who want to be thinner or have bigger boobs, and how it wears them down. And I just don’t want that in my life.
Adele
I won't let you close enough to hurt me.
Adele
We could have had it all...
Adele
I love a card. You know, cards? At birthdays? I collect them.
Adele
I don't write songs about a specific, elusive thing. I write about love, and everyone knows what it is like to have your heart broken.
Adele
The way I write my songs is that I have to believe what I’m writing about, and that’s why they always end up being so personal - because the kind of artists I like, they convince me, they totally win me over straight away in that thing. Like, “Oh my God, this song is totally about me.”
Adele
I've never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that.
Adele
I'd lose weight if I was an actress and had to play a role where you're supposed to be 40 lbs lighter, but weight has nothing to do with my career. Even when I was signing a contract, most of the industry knew if anyone ever dared say lose weight to me, they wouldn't be working with me.
Adele
When I want to party, I play Beyoncé's Crazy in Love. That's always been the song that my friends and I get ready to or before I go on a first date, I play it to feel sexy.
Adele
I don’t have time to worry about something as petty as what I look like.
Adele
For people to link my music to their lives, it's incredible, there's no other feeling like it.
Adele
Sometimes my songs wander off a bit and are not always coherent.
Adele
Mum loves me being famous! She is so excited and proud, as she had me so young and couldn't support me, so I am living her dream, it's sweeter for both of us. It's her 40th birthday soon and I'm going to buy her 40 presents.
Adele
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.
Adele
I don't want to be some skinny mini with my tits out. I really don't want to do it and I don't want people confusing what it is that I'm about.
