Quote

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.

More quotes by 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

Image
I think an encore is perfectly acceptable, but I find it so weird when people do two or three.
Florence Welch
Image
Lay me down, Let the only sound, Be the overflow, Pockets full of stones.
Florence Welch
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 definitely have a real self-destructive streak.

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.

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

On stage, you can use your emotions. It's the place where you can channel them. They have a purpose.
Florence Welch
Image
I can't ever seem to shake the feeling that when things are really good it essentially means that things are going to go really bad. When I feel calm and settled, there is always an underlying feeling of impending doom... I don't think that it's healthy.
Florence Welch
Image
I have this sensation of being in flight all the time, but being on stage is like creating a sanctuary in which you can completely lose yourself. The bits of your personality that you keep under wraps in ordinary life, you can let them run free.
Florence Welch
Image
I don't want your future, I don't need your past. One bright moment Is all I ask.

Image
I've just never been a tracksuit-wearer.

I'm one of those people that is up for most things. When I was offered to sing at the Oscars I was like, 'Yeah, I want to know what that's like!' I'm always curious to know what things are like - as long as you're not compromising who you are.

I dyed my hair red when I was ten and when I was 11 - in my goth period - I dyed it black and I was really into witchcraft. I made mini shrines in my bedroom with candles and tried to cast spells to make the boy in the next class fall in love with me. I don't think he did.

I love performing outside because it's as if the heavens are open and the elements become part of the stage show as well - you know, the wind and the rain and the thunder. It's almost as if there's a sense of invocation in performance.

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

Image
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
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
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 have a problem generally in life of wanting more of everything - more emotion, more drama, more glitz.
