Touring, and being in a band, it's almost like the other stuff, the other parts of life, get put on hold.

Image
I quite like the drama of an encore. I think an encore is for those artists who are inclined to do dramatic gestures, and I certainly would say I am inclined towards them.
Florence Welch
Image
I look really odd in jeans and a hoodie - it doesn't feel or seem right.
Florence Welch
Image
I love that sense of release as you throw yourself into the crowd as hundreds of arms are carrying you.
Florence Welch
Image
I didn't want to become a personality, I wanted to be a musician, but because I didn't have an album to stand by yet it was hard for people to see that. But now, two albums in, I'm happy with things.
Florence Welch
Image
Sometimes I wish for falling Wish for the release Wish for falling through the air To give me some relief Because falling's not the problem When I'm falling I'm in peace It's only when I hit the ground It causes all the grief
Florence Welch
Image
Lay me down, Let the only sound, Be the overflow, Pockets full of stones.
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
I used to dress like an eight-year-old boy. Traveling has inspired me to be more experimental.
Florence Welch
Image
I think I just have a problem generally in life of wanting more of everything - more emotion, more drama, more glitz.
Florence Welch
Image
On stage, you can use your emotions. It's the place where you can channel them. They have a purpose.

For someone so conflicted, who am I to give advice to anybody? It’s such a funny, grandiose idea
Florence Welch
Image
Excitable, easily distracted, sometimes vacant, prone to gloominess and also extreme euphoria I can’t be generous with time, but I try to be generous with affection. I’m really lucky to be able to be in some of these situations and it feels really nice to be able to take people along with me for the ride. Oh, and I’m a pain in the ass as well.

I can't just have one painting - I need to cover the wall in paintings. It's the same with my music. I want to mix everything together to create more.
Florence Welch
Image
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.
Florence Welch
Image
Going to parties usually makes me feel depressed, just because I have such social fear after meeting people.
Florence Welch
Image
I think I should get a bigger between-the-song persona, so then I'm not wandering around the stage like some mad old auntie that's saying hello to people and falling over.
Florence Welch
Image
If you asked me to go back to being 14 or 15, I couldn't - it was a terrifying time. I was so awkward in my own skin. I used to hide behind my hair because I was so ridiculously self-conscious.

I wanted to be a witch when I was a kid. I was obsessed with witchcraft. At school, me and my two friends had these spell books I always wanted a more magical reality. I had a little shrine at home and I did a spell to try and make the boy in the other class fall in love with me.

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

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.
