He got me interested in film and literature and food and wine and travelling and politics and history, and those were things I was never, ever interested in. I was interested in going clubbing and getting drunk.nbsp;
— Adele saying her new album 21 is based on actual life experiences / February 23, 2011
It broke my spirit when I wrote this record, so the fact that people are taking it to their hearts is comparable the better way to recover. 'Cause I'm still not fully recovered. It's going to take me ten years to recover, I think, from the way I feel about my close relationship. It was the biggest deal in my entire life to date. He made me totally hungry. He was older, he was successful in his own right, whereas my boyfriends before were my age and not actually doing much.nbsp;
— Adele about her new album 21 / February 23, 2011
I had to bear the brunt of negative attitudes from authority figures, such as teachers, who led me to believe that success was unrealistic. So I chose to survive rather than be in a fantasy world. I'm not, and never have been, very academic - it was always music for me. I think when I was 10, I nicked my mum's Lauryn Hill album and listened to it every day after school in my bedroom, sitting on my little sofa bed and hoping to God that one day I'd be a singer.nbsp;
— Adele struggled at school / February 20, 2011
Even though I'm very bitter and regret some parts of it, he's still the most important person that's ever been in my life,nbsp;
— Adele saying majority of her upcoming album 21 is almost a boyfriend who broke her heart / February 19, 2011
I think people think I'm like, sort of a manic-depressive. I think they think I'm very sombre and very moody and take myself very seriously, but I think that's only because of the kind of records I write. I'm no more depressed than any other 21 or 22 year-old girl when someone leaves them, you know?
— Adele saying people think she is depressed based on the content of her music / February 19, 2011
The other day I was up north (Northern England) and there were these — well, I don’t think they were fans actually, they were like eBayers. I’d be at the venue, they’d be there. I’d leave the venue and they’d be there. Then they started taking pictures of my dog doing a s**t and stuff like that. It was very weird.nbsp;
— Adele/ February 18, 2011
I’m much more appreciative of her. You don’t realize how important your parents are until they’re gone or you spend a lot of time off from them. We’ve always been friends, but we’re tighter than ever. I can talk to her about anything and not in a mum-daughter way. And she’s the only solid and permanent thing in my life which I’ve realised since I’ve been doing what I’ve been doing.nbsp;
— Adele saying she is very close to her mother / February 16, 2011
I didn’t know what a dad was supposed to do because I never had one. I’m sure I will see him again, because now I think we can be friends. I don’t need him to be a dad now. And I’m still very often in touch with my Welsh family. I’ve got a younger brother on my dad’s side. He’s done better with him.nbsp;
— Adele stopped talking to her father when she was 10 / February 16, 2011
I finally saw him at my grandma’s funeral. I believe I was nearly 15. But I’d cut off contact with him when I was 10 or 11. It’s just disappointing when your own blood can’t keep promises and try to get out of things,nbsp;
