More quotes by 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
I want to be as feminine and classic as possible.
Jessie Ware
I don't know if fame will come.

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
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 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
Ice cream is my comfort food.
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
I like how strong Sade is and how she doesn't give away too much.
Jessie Ware
I would like to think I am feminist in some sorts.
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
Good music shouldn't have a shelf life.
Jessie Ware
I guess I'm a real fan of older music, and that's what shaped my taste and the way I sing.
Jessie Ware
I don't know if I should say this, but I feel more like a singer than an artist.
Jessie Ware
I'm not a complicated person.
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.
