More quotes by Jessie Ware
Good music shouldn't have a shelf life.
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 feel like I've got far more gay fans in America... Maybe they caught wind that I have a cute Jewish brother who's gay.
Jessie Ware
If I make a song where I'm happy, I sound completely mad - I think my voice is better-suited for sadder songs.
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 don't know if I should say this, but I feel more like a singer than an artist.
Jessie Ware
If you're from South London you feel like you're always trying to win people over, so perhaps that underdog passion comes through.
Jessie Ware
I'm not a complicated person.
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've become one of those annoying people who brings their own food on to planes.
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
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 guess I'm a real fan of older music, and that's what shaped my taste and the way I sing.
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 would like to think I am feminist in some sorts.
Jessie Ware
I don't know if fame will come.
Jessie Ware
Dance music has pushed its way into the mainstream. Which is good for 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 like how strong Sade is and how she doesn't give away too much.
