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.

For someone so conflicted, who am I to give advice to anybody? It’s such a funny, grandiose idea

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

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.
Florence Welch
Image
I'm quite glad I never learned to play the guitar, because I think I'd write songs that were more classically structured. As it is, I've had to create my own way of writing, which isn't typical. Everything's a big crescendo.

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.

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.

Image
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.

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
I've learned not to hide behind a veil of irony - to talk about my work in a more honest way.
Florence Welch
Image
I definitely have a real self-destructive streak.
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 wish to remain nameless And live without shame 'Cause what's in a name, Oh I still remain the same
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
I'm completely in love with the world but also terrified of it. It creates some overwhelming feelings. Wanting to battle out that joy and fear is part of my music.
Florence Welch
Image
I love Lady Gaga and I love Katy Perry and R&B and rap music... I love big, American pop music.

Image
You can forget anything, and actually being a part of a crowd, of a group, can itself be freeing.

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

I'm down to bleach my eyebrows again. I tell you what, though - that didn't go down well with my boyfriend. Girls love it. Guys, not so into it.

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.
