More quotes by Jessie Ware
I don't know if fame will come.
Jessie Ware
I tried a couple of pop writers - none of the big, big, big ones - but it didn't work for me. I do have a commercial voice I'm not quirky. I'm very normal and that's probably why I like people like Barbra Streisand and Whitney Houston. It's no-nonsense. They sing well, and that's it.
Jessie Ware
I dress in a sophisticated and classy way - I always dress in a way I know my mother wouldn't be embarrassed to see.
Jessie Ware
My grandfather was a Russian-Jewish immigrant who lived in Northern Ireland and apparently when he sang in the synagogue he made everyone cry.
Jessie Ware
I have moments, like a guy saying to me on the tube, You know, you look a lot like Jessie Ware.
Jessie Ware
I don't know if I should say this, but I feel more like a singer than an artist.
Jessie Ware
I would like to think I am feminist in some sorts.
Jessie Ware
I can't eat before I go onstage because I've learnt that burping on stage isn't a good thing. It's all about acid reflux.
Jessie Ware
I started meeting the right people, like [producer] Dave [Okumu], who explained to me how songwriting is really simple - just like shitting, he said. You gotta let it all out. When he put it like that, however disgusting it is, it made a lot of sense to me.
Jessie Ware
Dance music has pushed its way into the mainstream. Which is good for me.
Jessie Ware
I've become one of those annoying people who brings their own food on to planes.
Jessie Ware
I always have to pretend I'm somebody else to give the best performance. It kind of feels like I'm acting it's definitely an exaggerated version of me. I'm a very normal, down-to-earth person, but I wanted the videos to be striking, so I have to lay it on a little bit.
Jessie Ware
I want to be as feminine and classic as possible.
Jessie Ware
For me 'You & I Forever' is celebrating the person you love being by your side. This is what it means to others
Jessie Ware
I like how strong Sade is and how she doesn't give away too much.
Jessie Ware
I love Barbra Streisand and Sade who've both had careers in soul and I want my music to have that timeless quality that isn't necessarily now.
Jessie Ware
Ice cream is my comfort food.
Jessie Ware
I went to university and studied English literature, and I forgot about music. I was gonna be a journalist. But then I decided to try and be a backing singer, and my mum was like, Go for it. If that didn't work, I was gonna go to law school. I was just being boringly sensible trying to be a singer felt a bit indulgent.
Jessie Ware
Good music shouldn't have a shelf life.
Jessie Ware
There are so many great singers out there.
