More quotes by 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
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
Lay me down, Let the only sound, Be the overflow, Pockets full of stones.
Florence Welch
When something really hits me, it makes me want to either jump off something really high or lie down and be buried. I want people to get hit and caught by my music.
Florence Welch
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.
Florence Welch
I try to maintain a healthy dose of daydreaming, to remain sane.
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 like a house party and fancy dress, a big fan of fancy dress, like dress up, costume parties.
Florence Welch
Bono told me how to dance in high heels and he also told me about U2's Glastonbury performance and how everything that could have possibly gone wrong went wrong, including him ripping his trousers on stage. I think he was lunging and his trousers ripped! He was telling me how he had to find a new way of performing that didn't involve moving.
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
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 don't want your future, I don't need your past. One bright moment Is all I ask.
Florence Welch
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.
Florence Welch
I've just never been a tracksuit-wearer.
Florence Welch
My room is like an antique shop, full of junk, and weird stuff. There's a big sword in there. And a taxidermy bird, and a couple of birdcages. And a lot of newspaper cuttings. I used to have a weird thing about cutting out morbid headlines from newspapers, and collecting them. I was fascinated with drowning, which is kind of strange.
Florence Welch
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.
Florence Welch
I got to live out my 11-year-old fantasies - I got to go on stage with Green Day. Billie Joe called my name from the stage. 'Dookie' was the first album I ever bought. I covered the whole of 'Nimrod' and he'd heard it. That was like the 11-year-old girl dreamed.
Florence Welch
I get in fights with my sister all the time. She comes on the road with me and we fight - like sisters do.
Florence Welch
It’s good to be vulnerable in amongst the grandeur you shouldn’t lose that sense of intimacy and vulnerability with people.
Florence Welch
I wish to remain nameless And live without shame 'Cause what's in a name, Oh I still remain the same
