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.

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.

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

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

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

At the beginning of my career I was going through a really weird phase of dressing in boys clothes. I would only wear one American Apparel T-shirt and shorts and brogues the whole year round. Not the same T-shirt, obviously, but one style of American Apparel T-shirt. I think I was going through a tomboy stage.

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

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.

I can't wait to get on stage, because there you don't worry about whether you'll ever get married because your life is insane, or whether you'll ever have another boyfriend again, you don't worry about the typical boundaries of how your life has to be.

When you're heartbroken, you're at your most creative - you have to channel all your energies into something else to not think about it. Contentment is a creativity killer, but don't worry - I'm very capable of making myself discontented.

I love Lady Gaga and I love Katy Perry and R&B and rap music... I love big, American pop music.

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

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.

I’m attracted to the idea of drowning. Or rather the idea of jumping off and being enveloped by something, not bad or good, just enveloping. When I was a kid, I had a moment when I got under the water, lying on the pool floor, and felt I could breathe. I’ve been trying to recreate that feeling ever since.

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

It’s good to be vulnerable in amongst the grandeur you shouldn’t lose that sense of intimacy and vulnerability with people.

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

I always seem to feel that everything is about to cave in on me. I think that maybe music is my protection from that and in some senses it's an outlet to turn it into something euphoric: embracing the eventual decline.

I spent my 16th birthday high as a kite, jumping out of a tree topless in my local park just because it felt amazing hitting the ground.
