'I Know You Care' is about my dad. And I haven't seen him for a long, long time. And my parents divorced when I was really young. And I guess I just wanted a - it was my way of saying that I wasn't bitter or angry anymore. I was just sad and just felt like something was missing. Ellie Goulding angryanymorebitter share on social
It's so important to take vitamins. People always get ill on tour because of the close proximity in the bus with everyone. Ellie Goulding buscloseill Change image and share on social
I wrote 'Lights' a long, long time ago. And I expected it to be on the album, because it was - I wrote it with 'Biff' Stannard. And he wrote every single Spice Girls song and every single pop song of the 90s, basically. So I thought, you know, I was really lucky to work with him, but I didn't think it would be a big song for some reason. Ellie Goulding 90sagoalbum share on social
I record stuff all the time, like little vocal things. I write random things down... Sometimes I just get things stuck in my head and I record them, and that actually becomes a song quite a lot of the time. Ellie Goulding headlotrandom share on social
Two things I'm obsessed with are the countryside and fields and being in the open space and body parts, so you'll hear me mentioning body parts and human anatomy. I've listened to my songs and I think I am quite visual and I talk about bones and flesh a lot. Ellie Goulding anatomybodybone share on social
I played recorder in assembly, then I became passionate about the guitar, I don't know why. I started on electric then moved to acoustic - my brother was playing bass in the next room. Ellie Goulding acousticassemblybas Change image and share on social
I want to be more like Pixie Lott. She works really hard but always manages to keep smiling. She never complains. Ellie Goulding complainhardlott Change image and share on social
I was a kind of angsty teenager and I would write diaries and write stuff down all the time. Sometimes I get to the level on stage where I'm singing and it feels heavy, but not always. Ellie Goulding angstydiaryfelt Change image and share on social
On stage I have to be comfortable because I play guitar so I can't wear too much jewellery, it knocks against the guitar and makes loud noises. I had this big gold eagle necklace which I love but I kept whacking myself in the face with it so had to stop wearing it. I wear things that I can sweat in, basically... it gets really hot on stage.

I guess I started running when I was about 18 and... I feel like it assists my creativity a bit because it completely just flushes everything out. Ellie Goulding assistbitecompletely Change image and share on social
