My favorite film involving scarves was little Edie in 'Grey Gardens.' I often wear scarves like that, under hats.
Quote by -Estelle
I want a TV series, I'm gonna do some acting jobs, I'm gonna do some Broadway jobs, everything!
Quote by -Estelle
I love singing, so I want to see how far I can take it. I love the challenge, and I won't be happy until I have a wall full of gold discs and seven huge world tours under my belt.
Quote by -Estelle
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.'
Quote by -Estelle
I always say, 'There's a difference between cooked food and McDonald's.' Your mom's homemade dinner - you enjoy this more than you enjoy the fast food that comes along and goes, and I strive to make homemade dinner every time I put out an album.
Quote by -Estelle
With my music, I don't have to stay in one lane. One day I'm in Motown, and the next day I'm in reggae.
Quote by -Estelle
I always thought that if record companies didn't understand me, fine - I'd go and do it by myself.
Quote by -Estelle
I will never say I am committed to somebody unless I'm serious about that person.
Quote by -Estelle
A lot of scarves are made to stand out and therefore not appropriate on your head, say, at work.
Quote by -Estelle
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!
Quote by -Estelle
I like to write about the things I care about. It's no fun to sing about things you don't like.
Quote by -Estelle
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%.
Quote by -Estelle
I'd really started hating music. I'd started hating all the songs, hating being in the industry, hating doing the shows. So I had to learn to love music again if I wanted to continue doing this.
Quote by -Estelle
Some days I might be wearing a little dress, and some days I might be wearing something with wings on it and be confusing.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Estelle
'Something Good' is a feel-good song. A reminder that you're dope and have something wonderful to offer life and yourself and the world.
Quote by -Estelle
If I don't agree with something, I let people know, and it occasionally leads to tension. But I usually iron things out.
Quote by -Estelle
You know, sometimes you fall in love and you get treated badly, sometimes you get treated well.
Quote by -Estelle
I wear and have worn scarves my entire life while traveling, working out, and now sometimes while performing, and not just on my head - I wear them around my neck and on my bag.
Quote by -Estelle
In order for me to write, I have to experience life. I write the songs based on real life, and I perform them from a very real place.
Quote by -Estelle
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.
Quote by -Estelle
I can't stand quitters. My mother is a very strong, determined woman. I was peeling onions when I was seven, but I walked off when my eyes began to sting. She said to me, 'You start something and you finish it', and that stuck with me. I'm persistent.
Quote by -Estelle
Me being a black girl in London, whose mom is first-generation African and whose dad is West Indian, gives me a different view. I'm coming at soul from my own place.
Quote by -Estelle
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.
Quote by -Estelle
I've fully embraced who I am. I stopped fighting with people and just come to realize, 'This is me. This is all of me.'
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Estelle
The Grammy snuck up on me. I was on tour. It just hit me. I skipped down the street in Vienna. I kept saying, 'I won. I won.'
Quote by -Estelle
The people who have the strongest opinion about everything have never left their city, their town, haven't left their 'hood, haven't left their area, their corner of the world. They don't read. They've never left their house.
Quote by -Estelle
I got into hip hop from my uncle; he was always playing us Kool G Rap and Big Daddy Kane. He was a bad boy, and my mum was not really happy that I was hanging out with him.
Quote by -Estelle
I would say my greatest musical influences have been Ella Fitzgerald and Mary J. Blige.
