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.

More quotes by Florence Welch
Going to parties usually makes me feel depressed, just because I have such social fear after meeting people.
Florence Welch
I try to maintain a healthy dose of daydreaming, to remain sane.
Florence Welch
Love is horrible. I mean, when you're in love, it's like a sickness. Such madness.
Florence Welch
I want my music to sound like throwing yourself out of a tree, or off a tall building, or as if you’re being sucked down into the ocean and you can’t breathe… It’s something overwhelming and all-encompassing that fills you up, and you’re either going to explode with it, or you’re just going to disappear.
Florence Welch
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.
Florence Welch
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.
Florence Welch
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
Having a soul, they say, is like taking sadness and turning it into something beautiful.
Florence Welch
The music is so euphoric,as a way of battling the words. It’s like an exorcism, beating it out with drums, shake this demon out, it’s so visceral because the melancholy has to be drummed out. I can’t let it sit inside me.
Florence Welch
For me, ‘Dog Days’ symbolizes apocalyptic euphoria, chaotic freedom and running really, really fast with your eyes closed.
Florence Welch
You can forget anything, and actually being a part of a crowd, of a group, can itself be freeing.
Florence Welch
I saw 'The Artist.' It's really beautiful and it's all done to the letter with all the silent film techniques. The costumes were amazing and the dog is so good.
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'm obsessed with choirs, and always have been, because of that sense of overwhelming vocals.
Florence Welch
When I am with my family, then I can just sort of switch off. It's kind of weird, because I go back and I go into this bedroom that I have had since I was a teenager. It is like this parallel universe, because one minute I am on the red carpet and then the next I am hiding out in this room I have had since I was 15.
Florence Welch
You know, people always ask, 'What are you like offstage?' And I always say, 'Well, I'm completely normal and mellow.'
Florence Welch
Lay me down, Let the only sound, Be the overflow, Pockets full of stones.
Florence Welch
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.
Florence Welch
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.
Florence Welch
I love that sense of release as you throw yourself into the crowd as hundreds of arms are carrying you.
