Ellie Goulding

Even when I’m in quite a happy state of mind, I like writing really sad songs. I think a lot of people do.

I believe in the moment of things and fate and things happening for a reason, so I write things down and I trust it.

I’m quite private. And I never wanted to be the biggest star in the world really. So in that sense I’ve got a good balance of doing great shows, of making an appearance every now and then and writing music, and I don’t really have to do much else.

If I’ve got Writer’s Block it generally means that I don’t have that much to say or something’s not quite connecting. I have had Writer’s Block a bunch of times and it’s generally because I’m not able to write down what I’m feeling basically. Mostly, I just need to be alone really, or be with someone who can bring that out of me.

It’s usually a big kind of vent of frustration or anger or sadness that puts me in the right frame of mind to write. It’s such a cliche to say that artists write when they’re down, but it’s true for me. It’s a relief to get out what’s eating away at my heart or my soul or my head.

Stuff just comes out all the time, sometimes when I sing live it really comes alive and I sort of… I write songs and then almost… not forget about it, but live it really comes out and I suddenly realise what I’ve written. I don’t know where it all comes from.

The only really safe thing to do is to write a diary of where you’ve been, what time you went to bed, what you ate. If I wrote honestly about everything I think it’d be a disaster. It would cause a lot of trouble.

When I’m writing obviously I have all the nostalgia in the world, I have all the emotion in the world, but then when I actually perform, I need to just perform it, and that’s it. I do retain like a little bit of it because I have to, I sing and perform the songs so I have to – it’s a performance of the songs – but I just have to get the right balance.
