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
Even when I'm in quite a happy state of mind, I like writing really sad songs. I think a lot of people do. Ellie Goulding happylotmind Change image and share on social
My hairdresser in the U.K., Adam Reed, has his own line, Percy and Reed, and it's really good. And I use Moroccan Oil and Kerastase as well. Ellie Goulding adamgoodhairdresser Change image and share on social
I keep getting compared to Marina and the Diamonds because she's kind of in the same place as me at the moment. It's quite annoying being compared, actually, because it almost downgrades your work and makes you feel like you're just another female artist. Ellie Goulding annoyartistcompare 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.

The only day I remember of my parents' marriage was the day my dad walked out. As I stood there at five years old, with my older sister and younger brother, I knew that he was gone. Ellie Goulding brotherdadday Change image and share on social
I've always said that Adele has turned so many people on to British singers - whether female singers or just like music from this country in general. Ellie Goulding adelebritishcountry Change image and share on social

There are plenty of bands who never get in the charts and it doesn't mean that they're not any good. Actually, a lot of the top ten is filled with stuff that just sounds the same. I could guess what's in there now - probably a bit of GaGa, Beyonce and some U.S. R&B males. Ellie Goulding bandbeyoncebite share on social
As a kid I'd lie awake at night and convince myself that a meteor was about to hit the Earth. It's my fatalistic streak, which I've inherited from my mum. I firmly believe something cataclysmic is going to happen in my lifetime and I have to be prepared to run for my life when the time comes. Ellie Goulding awakecataclysmicconvince share on social
