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

On stage, you can use your emotions. It's the place where you can channel them. They have a purpose.

The first album, for better or for worse, was done over from the ages of 17-22, with a couple of different producers. Some of it was recorded in an old swimming pool, some of it was recorded in a synagogue - it kind of was all over the place.

I'm obsessed with choirs, and always have been, because of that sense of overwhelming vocals.

I've got my ideal job. I like to sing, I like to dance, I like to bang drums and dress up, and someone pays me - it's incredible.

I got to live out my 11-year-old fantasies - I got to go on stage with Green Day. Billie Joe called my name from the stage. 'Dookie' was the first album I ever bought. I covered the whole of 'Nimrod' and he'd heard it. That was like the 11-year-old girl dreamed.

For me, ‘Dog Days’ symbolizes apocalyptic euphoria, chaotic freedom and running really, really fast with your eyes closed.

I love that sense of release as you throw yourself into the crowd as hundreds of arms are carrying you.

Going to parties usually makes me feel depressed, just because I have such social fear after meeting people.

I get in fights with my sister all the time. She comes on the road with me and we fight - like sisters do.

Image
Love is horrible. I mean, when you're in love, it's like a sickness. Such madness.
Florence Welch
Image
I love performing outside because it's as if the heavens are open and the elements become part of the stage show as well - you know, the wind and the rain and the thunder. It's almost as if there's a sense of invocation in performance.

Bono told me how to dance in high heels and he also told me about U2's Glastonbury performance and how everything that could have possibly gone wrong went wrong, including him ripping his trousers on stage. I think he was lunging and his trousers ripped! He was telling me how he had to find a new way of performing that didn't involve moving.

I'd gone from being this art student messing about with music to this girl with a record deal, magazine front covers and all this hype. In many ways, it was everything I ever wanted, but when it happened all I felt was total, paralysing fear.

I started off singing in church as a child. The sound of voices coming together, that was my first moment of touching something outside of myself.

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

I wish to remain nameless And live without shame 'Cause what's in a name, Oh I still remain the same

Maybe in music you're making an auditory environment and maybe you change your environment around you to suit your own way.

I've built my wardrobe color palette around red, so I'm happy with it, but I do get pangs when I see beautiful brunettes. I've already been blue, green, black, and blonde.

I dyed my hair red when I was ten and when I was 11 - in my goth period - I dyed it black and I was really into witchcraft. I made mini shrines in my bedroom with candles and tried to cast spells to make the boy in the next class fall in love with me. I don't think he did.
