I'm used to traveling. I'm used to being in different areas of the world. Home is where my suitcase lands.

I went to New York and Miami and hung out by the beach, and I love the American boys, so I wrote a song about it.
Estelle

I never do a show where the people just sit there and look at me. They always sing along. It's going to be a fun time.

I come from a family of well-endowed booty women.

I remember being, like, the age of 7 and just always being in control of something or someone, a baby somewhere. I had lots of cousins and brothers, and we were all taught that's how you are, you know. Things don't just run themselves; you have to make them run.

When I need things to happen, I need them to happen now, you know. I don't want to be having a meeting about a meeting about a meeting, which is what can happen in Britain.

The Americans love me because I'm so completely unwilling to change my whole Britishness.

When my career slowed, I knew deep down it wasn't over.
Estelle

I like to write about the things I care about. It's no fun to sing about things you don't like.
Estelle

A lot of big whoever producers, they come with a song and they say, 'Sing this,' and I'm not that girl.

I started writing an album on flights to Africa and Brazil, but it was crazy because I left the notebook on the plane. It had seven or eight songs in it. After that, I'm not writing any more songs on notebooks - and I keep my Blackberry close!

I have my family; I'm never alone.

John Legend is a cool guy. He likes to chill, is easy to talk to and hang out with. He's also inspiring on a musical level.

Law became boring, but like every job I've done, it helped prepare me for a career in music.
Estelle

People like the shows I do. I want to be real, to have fun, even when I dance on stage... it's a buzz.

If there is enough space on radio for Busted and McFly, who are basically the same band, or for 50,000 versions of Stereophonics and Coldplay, there must be enough room for all of us.

I will test a guy to within an inch of his sanity because I've been through too much drama. He has to be 100%.

I feel like I'm beautiful, and every woman should feel like that.

For four years, my mum allowed only church music in the house.
Estelle
-
Why should you stay in one place and one country if they're not offering you a job? It doesn't make sense!
Estelle

The only thing I don't have is hips.
Estelle

My mum is West African, from Senegal; my dad is from Grenada. There was a huge controversy about them getting together.
Estelle

I learned that working out gives me a space to get clear. It's not just about the body. It gives me space to process things and get clear in my mind about decisions and things I want to do.

If you cannot smile when you listen to music, then do not listen to it!
