British singer Ellie Goulding recently sat down for an interview with Red Magazine, where she talked about life in the public eye. The magazine quotes her as follows:
On her on and off relationship with British musician Dougie Poynter:
"When I met Dougie, he had no game. He was just like, 'You're really cool, let's go out.' It was me that pursued him, a bit, very unexpectedly. Before him, I was having a single period and hating all men, saying never again, after a series of things that happened to me. I really, really thought I was going to be single for a long while. But then I met him and was like, uh-oh, game over. He was just so nice. So, you know, you don't throw something like that away so easily."
On her grueling schedule:
"I had to pay for me and the band to have IV vitamin drips. Can you believe it? Backstage at Alan Carr and we're all sat there on drips," she told the publication. "The last month has been really testing, on everything, on my sanity. The music industry isn't like other industries—there are no rules about working hours, or taking breaks. A working day will start with a 4am flight and finish at 3am the next day. Sometimes I don't have time to eat in the day…But, even when you've made the money, people still want to do the thing they love. I know in my heart that if I stopped doing this I would probably get depressed. I'd end up very free—but very miserable."
On being in the public eye:
"I would totally understand if someone saw me on the front of a magazine, looking really glamorous, hair extensions in, lots of make-up, and think that was what I was all about because I love wearing makeup, and I've never denied liking that side of being a pop star. I just have to remind people that that is secondary to what I do, which is write music."
