When I first started, I wasn't really aware of anything in the industry or aware of who I really was. I just put my music out there and tried to get as many people to hear it as possible.

More quotes by Charli XCX
I can't stand to hear my own voice. If one of my songs comes on in a café, I'll run out right away and come back with the police.
Charli XCX
I always look at my favourite photographs or favourite movies by James Bidgood or Sofia Coppola before I write my songs - they put me in the right frame of mind.
Charli XCX
I like Lady Gaga's music and I think her fashion is great, but I saw her on a chat show and I wanted to punch her in the face.
Charli XCX
I want to create an experience with my music.
Charli XCX
I'm very closed off when it comes to working with people, I'm very selective.
Charli XCX
I've never been to New Zealand actually. All I know is that there's a lot of greenery there. I'd love to come and play a show there sometime soon for sure!
Charli XCX
I feel like I have an affiliation with the '90s. I feel like a lot of things going on in fashion and pop culture were loud and outlandish.
Charli XCX
I've definitely become more commercially successful. I think everything has changed over the past two years. People seem to take me seriously now as a songwriter for other artists and as an artist, which is funny to me because I always thought I was good. I guess that's the main change, which is pretty interesting.
Charli XCX
I have a dark side. I think everyone does.
Charli XCX
I hadn't really thought about the kind of music I wanted to make. I was just making raps and stuff. I thought that was the coolest thing in the world.
Charli XCX
I see music in colours. I love music that's black, pink, purple or red - but I hate music that's green, yellow or brown.
Charli XCX
I want to have tampons as merch that say ‘Periods are punk.'
Charli XCX
Everyone's just a freak, but some people are trying to hide it and some people embrace it.
Charli XCX
I know some people are like I'm depressed and I'm a struggling artist and that really works for some people, but that doesn't work for me. I have to be really happy, even when I'm writing my depressing songs I have to come through that stage before I can write. I have to be in a good place. I'm a positive person.
Charli XCX
The music I'm making is like an explosion of love. It moves away from super dark, its more romanticized and floral, but still quite black.
Charli XCX
I don't want to be a pop star. I want to be a nursery-rhyme star!
Charli XCX
I started writing my own things when I was about 8. I used to try to bully my friends into imitating the Spice Girls on the playground. Then I realized, Oh god, my career's going nowhere, so I looked in the Yellow Pages and phoned up the first cheap studio that I found and started recording.
Charli XCX
[My mom] worries about me going and taking drugs, whereas my dad advises me on what drugs to take and what ones not to take. So, they're very different.
Charli XCX
I'm spontaneous when I'm onstage. If I feel like talking about a particular issue when I'm in the moment, then I will. I speak about women's rights a lot day-to-day, so that's an issue that's important to me for sure. And I'm not a fan of Donald Trump.
Charli XCX
I feel like the worst fashion moments of the '90s were kind of the best.
