More quotes by 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
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
But Dad and I are the only father-and-daughter acts who have both had No. 1 songs in England.
Lily Allen
I don't really like the way that journalism works in the UK anyway it's all about getting the most shocking thing out of somebody and kind of twisting people's words, which isn't really journalism, as far as I'm concerned.
Lily Allen
Because of piracy there has been a massive downturn in people buying music, which makes it more difficult for artists to make money from the sale of records.

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
Cheryl Cole, if you're reading this, I may not be as prety as you but at least I write my own songs.
Lily Allen
I hang out with models, the biggest pop stars and, you know, really and honestly, I hate saying this, but none of them are achieving those body shapes by being healthy.
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
I just felt like I couldn't deal with the everyday responsibilities of life, paying bills and all of that. I'm terrible at all of that. So I knew I had to make enough money to pay someone else to deal with all of that.
Lily Allen
I always wanted to do music but never really had the confidence to do it until my first manager George Lamb, who I met out in Ibiza, encouraged me.
Lily Allen
I'm opinionated, but I'm not a vindictive person and I never say anything unprovoked, either.
Lily Allen
When I hit a period of not being able to write music, I get up and walk away. It's pretty mean but it's true.
Lily Allen
Yeah, I was a florist. I went to floristry school.
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've always listened to music, since I was really, really young.
Lily Allen
I think people probably lie about not reading their own reviews. I don't think that's true - I've been to a lot of music festivals and hung out backstage, especially in the past couple of years, and I see all these bands reading about themselves in newspapers. So I don't think that's true.
Lily Allen
