Adele was honored this week at the Hollywood Reporter\u2019s Women in Entertainment brunch. She received the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award, an award which usually goes to actresses or people deeply involved in Hollywood. While Adele has an Oscar and Emmys, she\u2019s not involved in film or television, really. But she is a leader and she does a lot of charity work. I enjoy the fact that they chose her, honestly. I\u2019m including her speech at the brunch (Adele points out it\u2019s so early, it was breakfast) and here are some highlights from her excellent THR cover profile:<\/p>\n
\nShe gets offered musical bio-pics all the time:<\/strong> \u201cI get offered that all the time. I get offered to do biopics of singers, and I think that\u2019s too obvious. And also anyone that\u2019s great enough to have a biopic about them, you\u2019re just setting yourself up for disaster. Then would they want me to sing as myself? Because then it would sound like me, it wouldn\u2019t sound like them. So I wouldn\u2019t do it. But that\u2019s all I\u2019ve been offered, really.<\/p>\nWhat motherhood brought up for her: <\/strong>\u201cThe first thing I think that comes up when you have a kid is it brings up a lot of your own childhood for you. And no matter what your childhood was like \u2014 good or bad or whatever \u2014 you don\u2019t want your child to have your childhood. My mum was very young when she had me. She was on her own, and I realized all the things I thought she could have done better, that she couldn\u2019t have. So it made me respect my mum more and has given me more patience with her, as her older-woman daughter. It made me see how hard it must\u2019ve been because we had no money\u2026Also, you realize how hard adulting is. So on top of them being your mum, they\u2019re also going through their own sh-t. I struggle not to show my emotions to Angelo with other things I\u2019m going through. And I think that\u2019s OK. <\/p>\nShe gets in touch with up-and-coming singers:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m not going to say who they are \u2014 I see a lot of the girls, up-and-coming singers, I get in touch with them because no one ever did that to me, gave me any advice or any secret nuggets of truth or tricks of how to survive it in any way. So I have them \u2019round and we have some wine and I talk to them. Even if you\u2019re really close with your team, your team can\u2019t relate to you suddenly being thrust out of your life and thrown onto the public stage. And that saying, \u201cYou have your whole life to write your first album and you have six months to write your second.\u201d That pressure was quite strange. And also your hobby becomes your job, which sounds really great, but your relationship with your hobby changes. So I really like supporting the girls. Sometimes I would love to go into management, but I can\u2019t work with talent. I say that as one \u2014 we are a nightmare. <\/p>\nLiving in LA: <\/strong>\u201cI love it. It\u2019s still sometimes strange, but I like it because I get left alone in L.A., which sounds weird. And for anyone that has never been to L.A., you assume it would be the opposite. But there are so many famous people here that they don\u2019t waste their time. Because if I see I\u2019m being followed, I\u2019ll cancel my day and I\u2019ll drive out to Palm Springs and back\u2026I get really bad seasonal depression, so the weather is good for me here. It is strange sometimes, because I\u2019m very British. Because it\u2019s a bit harder for me to go out nowadays, what I love the most about L.A. is everyone goes to each other\u2019s houses. I like that.<\/p>\nShe participated in Angelo\u2019s school:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m thriving a bit. Now there are so many things his school does the most, with community vibes, which is fantastic. The kids don\u2019t care. The kids don\u2019t give a flying f-ck who I am. And I get, not insecure, but I get nervous around loads of adults and strangers that I don\u2019t know. And so making food for school events, it\u2019s my dream.\u201d<\/p>\nA sad person:<\/strong> \u201cI think I\u2019m an incredibly sad person, and I think I inherited a lot of sadness, and I think I\u2019m a real empath and I\u2019m a real feeler. And I can\u2019t move on from things very easily. It\u2019s like I\u2019ve got hollow legs, but it\u2019s just filled with things that I think I\u2019m getting over, or I think haven\u2019t affected me. Or things I think I\u2019m not taking on from somebody else, but I am. And I\u2019ve been like that since I was little. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n[From THR]<\/p>\n
What she says about LA reminded me of the Beckham docuseries, where Victoria was absolutely thrilled when David signed up with the LA Galaxy. She loved moving to LA, she loved everything about it – I think for famous British people, it feels relaxing to be in a town full of much more famous people. As for thinking of herself as a sad person\u2026 I like the language that she uses, and it\u2019s not like she\u2019s misdiagnosing herself as a depressive. There\u2019s a difference between \u201cbeing a sad person\u201d and \u201cbeing depressed\u201d and I feel like Adele knows that she\u2019s just a moody, sad person who gets very wrapped up in her emotions. <\/p>\n
Her speech was hilarious:<\/p>\n
