Sophie Ellis-Bextor Quotes

In terms of influence, my style icons have been a mixture of Julie Andrews and Olivia Newton-John. When I was little I used to watch 'Grease,' 'Mary Poppins' and 'The Sound of Music' a lot.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Life, Care, Worse

On my wedding day. I didn't want a natural, blushing-bride look - I had a full-on hairdo and red lips. I thought it would be disingenuous to do the whole virginal look, so even though I had the white dress, I had pink net underneath.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Wedding, Though, Natural

Two premature babies was not a genetic thing; we were just unlucky.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Babies, Unlucky, Genetic

Sophie Ellis-Bextor

House, Dance, Knew

Yeah, I'm not really a morning person.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor

For every person that says I'm the new Audrey Hepburn, someone else says that I look like an alien.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Says, Alien, Hepburn

I'm a little bit allergic to the whole brand thing to be honest but maybe it's just happening around me and I'm not really aware of it.

Honest, Bit, Maybe

Beautiful, Happy, Whether

Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Music, Great, Getting

Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Dance, Songs, Clubs

My parents separated when I was four. It wasn't the smoothest of divorces, but then as my mother always says, you can't have a passionate marriage without a passionate divorce.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Marriage, Mother, Parents

A lot of what inspired many musicians is celebrating differences, and people relate to that - more people feel like the unpopular, freaky one than the one in the in-crowd.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Inspired, Musicians, Freaky

I tasted huge success with my first album, and when it's happening it feels like a roller coaster you can't get off. You should be very careful about wishing for success on that scale.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Success, Feels, Huge

Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Music, Hate, Getting

Philately is normally a boys' hobby but for some reason it was in vogue at my junior school. Between the ages of eight and ten I collected avidly. I'd pore over my Stanley Gibbons book, obsessively checking my collection's value. I always hoped I'd stumble across a really valuable one, a Penny Black or an Inverted Jenny, but it wasn't to be.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Between, Book, Reason

Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Wrong, Bit, Issue
