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.

More quotes by Florence Welch
You should have high expectations for yourself and others should come second.
Florence Welch
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
Hands up if you’re ready to do something you’ll regret this weekend. Go forth! You have my blessing.
Florence Welch
I think waste of your brain is something that my mother would say to me occasionally - I think it's usually when I'm telling her something like that I can remember every outfit I've ever worn.
Florence Welch
I love Lady Gaga and I love Katy Perry and R&B and rap music... I love big, American pop music.
Florence Welch
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.
Florence Welch
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.
Florence Welch
I think I just get excited by music, and, like, singing is a very physical thing. It releases endorphins in your body. You're using almost muscle in there, and I think that adrenaline really helps to kind of make the songs fresh every time.
Florence Welch
I've learned not to hide behind a veil of irony - to talk about my work in a more honest way.
Florence Welch
My visual landscape as a child was the inside of a lot of these old churches. And the Baroque drama of the things was what I was first engaging with artwise. I'm much more attracted to the aesthetic of religious iconography than the actual religious side. The passion and the blood and the violence and the gaudy side of it I find really fascinating.
Florence Welch
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
It was a complete dream to work with David LaChapelle. I collected his books as a teenager, and I fantasised that he would direct the video for 'Spectrum' from the moment the song was written. I still can't believe it actually happened, and I'm completely overjoyed that he felt such a connection with the song.
Florence Welch
The aesthetic came along the way, I think - just through experimenting, and going on tour, and trying stuff out on stage, having fun with it, and not taking it too seriously. If I had a ballgown at home, I'd wear it onstage. If I found something in a charity shop, I'd wear it. That's where it grew from - just wanting to play dress-up.
Florence Welch
I think I've always looked older than I am. I hope that's going to work in my favor when I get older.
Florence Welch
I was always that girl growing up who you could find dancing down supermarket aisles. It's that sense of not feeling inhibited. Dancing in supermarkets is my favorite thing.
Florence Welch
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.
Florence Welch
Going to parties usually makes me feel depressed, just because I have such social fear after meeting people.
Florence Welch
Maybe in music you're making an auditory environment and maybe you change your environment around you to suit your own way.
Florence Welch
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.
Florence Welch
What I really like seeing from the stage is people having their own moments, when people are doing some performance of their own.
