Zitat des Tages von Gabrielle Aplin:
It's important to have good tunes, but words are the thing for me.
I am never without my lyric book. If anything inspirational happens, I have it there so nothing's forgotten.
I'm really into fashion, but I don't really spend that much on clothes. I manage to find everything I want at a good price.
I have hundreds and hundreds of people from Brazil, Chile, Columbia and Argentina, every day, buying my music and telling me about it online.
I still listen to a lot of the classics from Bob Dylan and John Martin, but I love electronic music as well. I'm a big fan of an Australian DJ and producer called Flume, who I think is incredible. He should be more successful in the U.K.!
I think it's nice to work and then have success.
I love pop music. I love drum and bass, Calvin Harris, all these electronic things, but it's nice to have something organic as well.
I love the crowds at festivals because they're so chilled out.
I'd love to write for One Direction. I think they've done incredibly well.
I grew up listening to Nick Drake. Without him, I would not write music - and 'Pink Moon' is my favourite LP.
I'm quite annoying and can't imagine what it would be like living with me 24/7.
I've grown up with a piano in the house, and that's where I started to be able to learn things by ear. Guitar kind of happened, and I was using it just for writing at first. Then, I was writing so much that I began to realise that I knew how to play, and that's when I started getting nerdy about it.
I think it's all about the people who listen to your music, and loving playing and writing. Once you've got those two, and they're your main two priorities, then radio and TV and all the other stuff that comes with it will come. But that's not the be-all end-all.
I love the folk-rock of the Seventies and the pop of the Eighties.
Labels fund things and have resources for you to use. But just because you sign doesn't mean you sign yourself away so they can then tell you what to do. You need to have a plan yourself before they do.
When I first got signed, I bought a vintage guitar from the 1930s for £1000. I've bought a £400 SLR camera, too, which was quite extravagant.
I met Jared Leto at Soho House in Berlin.
