Gabrielle Aplin Quotations

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 got my first guitar when I was 11. It was an electric, and I can remember just wanting to be Avril Lavigne! But I got annoyed with having to plug it in and play with amps and pedals and stuff. Then I got given a cheap acoustic, a Tanglewood, and I thought it was awesome because I could play it anywhere!

I feel very English. I'm proud of it. I wanted there to be a thread connecting everything, the songs, clothes, artwork, even the string arrangements. It all creates a certain atmosphere.

I feel more comfortable in a place like Brighton - a town, with one centre, one bus station, one train station. And there are so many arty, creative people, and things are less rushed, less stressed.

When I went to City of Bath College, I studied the music business.

It's important to have good tunes, but words are the thing for me.

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'm really busy, but I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything.

I'd love to write for One Direction. I think they've done incredibly well.

I wouldn't just lay my voice on anything. But I'd love to do a collaboration, like a Calvin Harris track, for example.
