More quotes by Charli XCX
I've been thinking about where I want to take my live show. I want everything in it to be pink, gold, and black. I don't want people to feel any other colors, like brown or yellow.
Charli XCX
I want to have tampons as merch that say ‘Periods are punk.'
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
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 feel like the worst fashion moments of the '90s were kind of the best.
Charli XCX
I'm very closed off when it comes to working with people, I'm very selective.
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 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
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
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
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.
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
[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 was really selfish, and I didn't want to listen to anyone. Then I started working with some really amazing people, traveling more, and figuring out who I was as a person - looking at different things, listening to different music.
Charli XCX
Everyone's just a freak, but some people are trying to hide it and some people embrace it.
Charli XCX
Every time I make another record and every time I get a year older, I become more and more confident in who I am and more in tune with what I want as a person. I think it's the same for anyone in any walk of life. You just grow with experience and become more confident in exploring new things.
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 love the rawness in fashion.
Charli XCX
I have a dark side. I think everyone does.
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
