Cover versions, that's my forte, that's all I ever used to do. When you play your own songs, it's quite scary, 'cause I'm quite honest and open, they can be very revealing. But covers, I don't have to think about, just get me up there! Ellie Goulding coverfortehonest share on social
I love pink - pink's my favourite. I hardly ever - weirdly - wear it, but I love the colour pink. Ellie Goulding colourfavouritelove Change image and share on social
I maintain that when I finally retire from my career in music, I will go and live back in Wales - when I am an old person, if I live to be an old person. The water I miss, and the air, there's something different about it. And I miss the simple life. Ellie Goulding airbackcareer share on social
'I Know You Care' is really personal and fragile for me. For me, it's about losing a family member and also about a breakup. It's about this idea of losing someone for good. Ellie Goulding breakupcarefamily Change image and share on social
Drake, I'd like to collaborate with. He's a phenomenal lyricist. Probably the best rapper in the world at the moment. I love Kanye but there's something about Drake; he's more straight up, really clever and really poetic and metaphorical - I love that. He's just clever.

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
Breakups just hit you harder when you're younger. When I was a teenager, it felt like the most depressing thing in the world if a boy I was infatuated with didn't like me back! Ellie Goulding backboybreakup Change image and share on social
I think hype is a good thing. You need it and it'll teach you valuable things and you'll grow stronger, which is what I've done. Ellie Goulding goodgrowhave Change image and share on social
I instinctively dress a bit tougher because I've spent a lot of time in the U.S. and I realised there was a certain image projected of me here. I've always been an absolute rebel. When I was in my teen years I had piercings and wore all black. Ellie Goulding absolutebiteblack share on social
