Quote

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.

It’s good to be vulnerable in amongst the grandeur you shouldn’t lose that sense of intimacy and vulnerability with people.
Florence Welch
Image
Music to me is so internal. It's physical and it's emotional. Whereas fashion is so much about the external that it's almost like a break. It's not inner turmoil. It's total escapism.
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.

My room is like an antique shop, full of junk, and weird stuff. There's a big sword in there. And a taxidermy bird, and a couple of birdcages. And a lot of newspaper cuttings. I used to have a weird thing about cutting out morbid headlines from newspapers, and collecting them. I was fascinated with drowning, which is kind of strange.

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

I'm a choir girl gone horribly, desperately wrong.

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 used to dress like an eight-year-old boy. Traveling has inspired me to be more experimental.

You live and you learn.

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.

For someone so conflicted, who am I to give advice to anybody? It’s such a funny, grandiose idea
Florence Welch
Image
The stage is the place I feel comfortable - it's almost as if real life is where I feel most nervous. Conversations are a lot more nerve-wracking.
Florence Welch
Image
Everything has such order and everyone is so focused on doing what they're doing that no one ever pays attention to you spinning and dancing around supermarkets. It's something you find in places like supermarkets and airports, where everything is really ordered. There's something about those places that makes you feel really anonymous.

Hands up if you’re ready to do something you’ll regret this weekend. Go forth! You have my blessing.

Love is horrible. I mean, when you're in love, it's like a sickness. Such madness.
Florence Welch

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.

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

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.

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

You should have high expectations for yourself and others should come second.
