Best 4 quotes of Elly Jackson on MyQuotes

I'm very much of the mindset that if you've made the record you wanted to make and there's nothing about it that you would change, then you should just be proud and happy with what you've done.

I think going away and disappearing for a couple of years - or a few years, or whatever - definitely changed the way I look at songwriting. It made me feel more free, it made me feel more like I could just write what I wanted to write about. I wanted to write more observational songs.

I think there are some people who have taken on fame in extraordinary ways, like Madonna, David Bowie, and Michael Jackson. There are other people who have taken it on in a completely different way, like Prince - who is just as famous and has achieved just as much - but is still unbelievably mysterious, which I guess Bowie managed to hold as well. There are different ways of dealing with it, and for some people I think it becomes an art form of how you put yourself out there, and for other people it's literally a way of life, it's who you are, you act like a celebrity.

Obviously it's difficult not to compare one record success-wise, or sales-wise, or whatever, but I think you're always going to have moments - whatever record you've got - of insecurity.
