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.

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.

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
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.

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

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.

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.
Florence Welch
Image
I think an encore is perfectly acceptable, but I find it so weird when people do two or three.

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

Image
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.

What I really like seeing from the stage is people having their own moments, when people are doing some performance of their own.

I'm pretty obsessed with Stevie Nicks from her style to her voice. I like watching her on YouTube and her old performances, the way she moves and everything.

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

Image
I like a house party and fancy dress, a big fan of fancy dress, like dress up, costume parties.

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've just never been a tracksuit-wearer.

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

Image
I look really odd in jeans and a hoodie - it doesn't feel or seem right.

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