More quotes by Lily Allen
I studied voice when I was at school, and I was in the chamber choir, and I studied music theory as well, so I guess a lot of it came from being taught at school.
Lily Allen
People recognize me all the time now, and there's lots of autograph hunting and smiling. But then I get to play gigs, which are amazing. It's a good job.
Lily Allen
I'm quite an opinionated person, but I'd never written a diary before. I quite like it!
Lily Allen
I think of myself as quite a confused kind of person, because I think there's so many great things about the world, but there are so many awful things too. I feel very guilty a lot of the time about enjoying my life so much when there are people living in such misery.
Lily Allen
I don't really see how any song can not feel contrived if it isn't honest, and how could I write honest songs if I don't write about stuff going on in my life and how I'm feeling?
Lily Allen
I've actually broken up with boyfriends for inspiration.
Lily Allen
If you can't detect the sarcasm you've misunderstood.

Lily Allen
I know lots of people that take cocaine three nights a week and get up and go to work every day, no problem. But we never hear that side of the story.
Lily Allen
You know what, my new mantra is this: ANT AND DEC. Ant and Dec. I might get their names tattooed on each wrist. Because they smile, and they never complain, and it seems to work for them and I wish I could be more like that.
Lily Allen
I wasn't into anything at school. I used to get really embarrassed. I used to get asked to do performing things, and I'd go to all the rehearsals, and then I'd pretend to be ill on the day I had to actually perform. I was very unhappy at school.
Lily Allen
I'm really convinced I`m not talented at all, and I'm sure that people are just about to figure that out.
Lily Allen
People in this day and age are still under the illusion that every woman who is successful must be being controlled by a man... I'm the boss.
Lily Allen
I'm opinionated, but I'm not a vindictive person and I never say anything unprovoked, either.
Lily Allen
I don't think men are the enemy. I think women are the enemy.
Lily Allen
I'm just not a private person. It's not like I do things because I want things to be public it's just that's my way of expressing myself, and I happen to be very famous.
Lily Allen
