“I built a reputation as a songwriter in the industry before my own hits. People were used to coming to me for songs. There were songs like 'Clown' and 'Mountains' that were my songs that I wanted to keep. But the record labels saw me as a songwriter. It was hard to get people to believe in me as an artist.” PeopleBelieveHardWantedUsedArtistSongMy OwnRecordsSawsIndustryMountainBuiltReputationLabelsBelieve In MeSongwritersClownRecord Labels Author:Emeli Sande

“People don't know how heavily involved I am in my own career. I'm on 15 to 25 conference calls every few days strategizing with my team. I think a lot of artists sit back and have it done for them.

“The thing that I have been emphasizing in my own work for the last few years has been the group approach.

“I find what I call the [bleep] side of the industry very difficult. You won't see me at other peoples' premiers. I mean, I go to my own premiers because I have to help my film, but I don't enjoy that whole side of it. I don't enjoy celebrityhood. I love getting a seat in a restaurant. I love it when people say hi when I don't know them. I mean, that's fine, but apart from that, I like the elements of celebrityhood which make living in the world like living in your own village.” PeopleKnowsWorldMeanWholeHelpingFilmEnjoyDifficultSidesMy OwnFineIndustryElementsRestaurantsSeatsVillage Author:Jeremy Irons
