The only thing I don't have is hips.

I am a black British female artist, so I must be like Ms Dynamite, I must be like Shystie, I must be like Jamelia, but we're all different.
Estelle
-
I think every artist strives for a record that crosses all energy, lines, boundaries or languages or barriers.

If you cannot smile when you listen to music, then do not listen to it!
Estelle
-
I got to the point where I was fed up with so many people telling me how and who I was supposed to be.
Estelle

Success is based on music, not where you're from.

I can get a call at 2 A.M., and the person on the other end is like: 'Sorry, did I wake you?' and I'm like: 'No, I'm wide awake.'

When there is hope, there is life.

If I did a Rock record, it would be equally as truthful because I love Rock. I had to actually sing to Bon Jovi one time and I felt like he believed me. He's one of my favorite artists, so there's nothing better than the truth.
Estelle
-
My songs are always about overcoming things, whether it's breaking up with a guy or just trying to be happy. They're always about being better.
Estelle
-
I wear what I feel and what makes me feel happy.
Estelle

Sometimes I wake up in the morning and feel like going straight back to bed. But I still have to get up and work, and I still have to take advantage of the chances I've been given in life.

You know, sometimes you fall in love and you get treated badly, sometimes you get treated well.
Estelle

I always thought that if record companies didn't understand me, fine - I'd go and do it by myself.

Kanye West is my older brother, an inspiring guy and someone who keeps pushing my level up further and further.
Estelle
-
My favorite film involving scarves was little Edie in 'Grey Gardens.' I often wear scarves like that, under hats.
Estelle

Most of my thinking is done at night.
Estelle
-
A lot of scarves are made to stand out and therefore not appropriate on your head, say, at work.
Estelle
-
I've still gotta come across as happy when inside I feel crap!
Estelle
-
I never feel that far away from the tabloids.
Estelle
-
I have to live authentically at all times. And that's part of what makes me an artist. I'm not scared to do that.
Estelle
-
Reality really isn't as dull as it's cracked up to be.
Estelle
-
American food is not what I'm used to - everything is like three portions.
Estelle
-
This fame is a juggernaut: It slaps you in the face, and you don't know what you're doing. You don't know who has your back, who is your support system.
