Ellie Goulding Quotes About Writing

Quotes about: Writing

• It's usually a big kind of vent of frustration or anger or sadness that puts me in the right frame of mind to write. It's such a cliche to say that artists write when they're down, but it's true for me. It's a relief to get out what's eating away at my heart or my soul or my head.

• If I've got Writer's Block it generally means that I don't have that much to say or something's not quite connecting.

Mostly, I just need to be alone really, or be with someone who can bring that out of me.
