"Lily Allen stated, 'Nieves captured the feel of the album so brilliantly and I knew immediately it would make a very strong album cover. It seems to me the portrait reflects so many facets of the album - strength, power, vulnerability, determination and confusion, amongst many others - that it acts as a key to the whole listening experience. I love it.'"
"Nieves Gonzalez expressed, 'I wanted it to be an intimate and direct image, but also powerful. To show her strength, her wisdom, through the eyes of the contemporary women that we are.'"
"Victoria Siddall, director of the National Portrait Gallery, remarked, 'Our collection celebrates the people who have shaped our history and culture, and Lily Allen is undoubtedly one of the defining voices of her generation.'"
