By the time I got writing 'Halcyon,' I was on a roll, and I realized I had so much to write about, I realized I had so much built up inside that I couldn't really alleviate before, and then all of a sudden it was like reservoir burst.

More quotes by Ellie Goulding
The very first song I wrote was about a boy that I was obsessed with.
Ellie Goulding
I still don't know if I can write songs. I don't think anyone ever knows if they can write songs.
Ellie Goulding
I want to be safe in the knowledge that I can tour and play festivals for a long time. The main thing is that I want a good reputation as a live performer. If I have that, I'd be so happy.
Ellie Goulding
I'm a bit of a like girly-girl, really, I like flowery stuff.
Ellie Goulding
My mum was too busy raising four of us to encourage my hopes. But I'm glad I had the upbringing I did. It made me a worrier and a thoughtful, curious person.
Ellie Goulding
It's usually a big kind of vent of frustration or anger or sadness that puts me in the right frame of mind to write. It's such a cliche to say that artists write when they're down, but it's true for me. It's a relief to get out what's eating away at my heart or my soul or my head.
Ellie Goulding
Every day I'd say I look different. Sometimes I look really formal, sometimes I love the classic Stella McCartney, Chloe Sevigny and Gwyneth Paltrow thing. Other days I like being rock star and wearing leather jackets and studs. I love wearing Burberry - it's the perfect combination of formal and punky.
Ellie Goulding
I guess I started running when I was about 18 and... I feel like it assists my creativity a bit because it completely just flushes everything out.
Ellie Goulding
Apparently I'm introspective... levelheaded... but at the same time, absolutely insane.
Ellie Goulding
I wish I could have hung out with Patti Smith in the seventies, and also have some crazy times.
Ellie Goulding
I record stuff all the time, like little vocal things. I write random things down... Sometimes I just get things stuck in my head and I record them, and that actually becomes a song quite a lot of the time.
Ellie Goulding
One of the most powerful feelings in the world is after a really, really long run.
Ellie Goulding
If a hundred people want autographs, sometimes you have to say no because you've got to get up for a 4 A.M. flight or something. In that sense, it really pisses me off when people think you've become a diva. It's not becoming a diva, it's because of the situation, I think.
Ellie Goulding
Drake, I'd like to collaborate with. He's a phenomenal lyricist. Probably the best rapper in the world at the moment. I love Kanye but there's something about Drake he's more straight up, really clever and really poetic and metaphorical - I love that. He's just clever.
Ellie Goulding
I would never create an image for myself I'm not that clever.
Ellie Goulding
I believe that when you have fans, they invest in you not just as a singer but as a person as well. It's not enough to just have good songs and a good voice.
Ellie Goulding
I've watched and learnt from DJs and remixers and paid way more attention to how I want my voice to sound. Before, as long as it was loud and in tune it was fine. I've discovered the difference made by various microphones and effects, so each track has a different vocal sound, my voice is woven into everything and it's above everything.
Ellie Goulding
I never thought that I could make a living out of my voice, to be completely honest. I thought that I could probably keep playing pubs. And it was exciting for me to get even just a pub gig in my town or country, when I went to university.
Ellie Goulding
You never know what to expect. You don't just walk on and expect an amazing reaction.
Ellie Goulding
I believe in the moment of things and fate and things happening for a reason, so I write things down and I trust it.
