Adele On Being Afraid of Fame, Not Feeling the Need For Marriage

On how being a mother has changed her:

When I had him, it made everything all right, and I trusted everything because the world had given me this miracle, you know, so I became a bit of a hippie, an Earth mother. I don’t know if I would’ve come back had I not had my kid.

On what she wishes she could still do:

There’s a lot of things I don’t think I’ll ever get ’round to doing, not because I’m famous, but just because I just don’t think I’ll ever have the time. Like being a journalist, or like being a teacher. And I’m never going to be on my own again, I’m a mom and I’m in a very serious relationship, so it’s never going to be just me again.

I don’t regret any of it. Like, those aren’t the things that I regret. But I feel like I didn’t have very long to myself. I was my mom’s kid, and now I’m a mom. I had, like, a five-year window of just being me.
