Quote

When you're heartbroken, you're at your most creative - you have to channel all your energies into something else to not think about it. Contentment is a creativity killer, but don't worry - I'm very capable of making myself discontented.

I've learned not to hide behind a veil of irony - to talk about my work in a more honest way.

Image
If you see a river running smoothly, it's because someone has drowned in it, and if it's raging, it means that it's still got bloodlust.
Florence Welch
Image
When something really hits me, it makes me want to either jump off something really high or lie down and be buried. I want people to get hit and caught by my music.
Florence Welch
Image
I'm completely in love with the world but also terrified of it. It creates some overwhelming feelings. Wanting to battle out that joy and fear is part of my music.
Florence Welch
Image
I want my music to sound like throwing yourself out of a tree, or off a tall building, or as if you’re being sucked down into the ocean and you can’t breathe… It’s something overwhelming and all-encompassing that fills you up, and you’re either going to explode with it, or you’re just going to disappear.

Lay me down, Let the only sound, Be the overflow, Pockets full of stones.

I think I've always looked older than I am. I hope that's going to work in my favor when I get older.

Image
I can’t worry too much about the everyday things. Otherwise I’d lose touch with my own world, that helps me as an artist, but it’s frustrating for the people around me. I’m vaguely functional, but there’s always something slightly off.

I try to maintain a healthy dose of daydreaming, to remain sane.

I love Lady Gaga and I love Katy Perry and R&B and rap music... I love big, American pop music.

Image
I'm down to bleach my eyebrows again. I tell you what, though - that didn't go down well with my boyfriend. Girls love it. Guys, not so into it.
Florence Welch
Image
Going to parties usually makes me feel depressed, just because I have such social fear after meeting people.
Florence Welch
Image
Hands up if you’re ready to do something you’ll regret this weekend. Go forth! You have my blessing.
Florence Welch
Image
I spent my 16th birthday high as a kite, jumping out of a tree topless in my local park just because it felt amazing hitting the ground.
Florence Welch
Image
Maybe in music you're making an auditory environment and maybe you change your environment around you to suit your own way.
Florence Welch
Image
You can forget anything, and actually being a part of a crowd, of a group, can itself be freeing.
Florence Welch
Image
I always seem to feel that everything is about to cave in on me. I think that maybe music is my protection from that and in some senses it's an outlet to turn it into something euphoric: embracing the eventual decline.

Image
I've spent a lot of time in tiny venues in the way that I got my record deal and got my name out there just performing live. I was literally performing my songs in all kinds of different ways with different guitarists, and I didn't have an album up online or anything. It's been a lot of work it definitely hasn't been a sudden explosion into fame.
Florence Welch
Image
I think an encore is perfectly acceptable, but I find it so weird when people do two or three.
Florence Welch
Image
The stage is a place where I can be wholly myself. Even though you're in front of people almost to be judged, it is a place without judgement.
